Russia has 4x the population of Ukraine and they have suffered maybe 1/2 the losses (probably more like 1/4).

How do you know the numbers? Are they real numbers that can be verified, or are they YOUR numbers?

It's more likely that Russia has suffered twice as many killed and injured as the Ukrainians.. Invasion forces tend to suffer more heavily than the country being invaded.

I watch the following pod casts religiously:

Webb union
Military Summary
DPA War
History Legends

I also listen to Col McGregor. col Scott Ritter—-but less.

I used to listen to Alexander Mercouris but have slacked off him as I gradually realized he is too pro Russian—-too slanted.

The first 4 are map based shows and rely on military reports from both sides.

But yeah I don’t fly a helicopter around the Ukrainian battle field and get my own numbers.

Not the way idiot ukrainians waste troops. They’ll just attack a dug in defense in depth line over and over and over for months. NO ONE does that except maybe Chinese in the Korean war. Just because they invaded doesn’t mean troop formations don’t take a defensive posture when the need raises.

Like during a ukenazi counterattack on a given position, say.

Ukraine has lost hundreds of thousands of men at this point and the Russians MAYBE 110K, if that.

Learn something about tactics before posting.

And as far as asking the other poster if they’re “your” numbers, why don’t you go look up their respective populations? You clearly have an internet connection.
