Please ping me when Russia loses over 100% of its tanks and is operating with negative numbers.

You’ve been here long enough to know the truth, no need asking.

——What other battlefield could best use these obsolete leviathans? ——

The other battlefield where tanks are now being used very effectively is in Gaza. The armored D 9’s clear a pathway through the destruction right down to the dirt. The tanks come in and effectively kill all the Hamas defenders in sight. The infantry then follows and operatees as the situation demands.

Following the so called “Rules Of War” the tanks allow advancement into areas with buildings the demolition of which by air might be a violation of the war rules.

Although I said now, I meant recently because the IDF is now near total control and the tactics using the tanks are no longer required. Hamas no longer has control of Gaza

Wow! So funny!

Some are so invested in ‘pretending’ to know stating Denys is still in Switzerland & supposedly make $47.8K - $765.1K.ROTFL

What is true?
There is a reason why his location remains unknown. Also. Denys Davydov has 790K subscribers without counting followers without subscriptions!

Independence is gained by the brave – address by the
Volodymyr Zelenskyy

I wish you good health, dear Ukrainians!

Today, I had several international meetings. First, via a video link with the leaders of the Bulgarian parliamentary coalition. Leading political forces. Our relations. Our common security – for everyone in Europe. It was a good and meaningful conversation. I am grateful for the understanding – the understanding that Russian aggression is a threat to the happiness and prosperity of all European nations.

I also had a meeting today with the new Minister of Foreign Affairs of France. It is very symbolic that the minister’s first visit is to Ukraine and precisely at a time when Russia is trying various ways to increase strikes on Ukraine and bypass our air defense. I am grateful to all countries and, in particular, France, for substantial strengthening our air shield, for unwavering support on the battlefield for our soldiers, and assistance to our people.

Today, we discussed our defense needs, including joint production of drones, artillery, and further strengthening of air defense. I briefed him on the progress regarding the Peace Formula. I am thankful to France for its active role in this global effort. We are already preparing for the forum in Davos, presenting our position and joint opportunities for everyone in the world who strives to leave a world of stability and freedom for their children. Our values, not the madness of any dictator.

And, of course, gratitude to our soldiers. Today, I want to particularly commend the soldiers of our National Guard, who, along with all the Armed Forces and security units, courageously and steadfastly defend Ukrainian positions.

The 15th National Guard Brigade – Senior Soldier Valeriy Semenets and Junior Sergeant Serhiy Koval, warriors of the special operations unit. Thank you for your strength! The third Special Operations Brigade – Soldier Vitaliy Saschuk, Soldier Mykola Nahaichuk, Soldier Yuriy Kosiuta. The 14th Brigade – Junior Sergeant Volodymyr Oliynyk, Senior Sergeant Vasyl Cherniuiuk. Thank you, guys!

I also want to commend the warriors of the National Guard’s Omega special operations center Omega, especially the guys from the first unit who effectively carry out tasks on the Avdiivka direction, as well as all the warriors of the third Omega unit who fight on the Melitopol direction, reinforcing the units of the Armed Forces. Thank you for destroying the enemy, guys! I thank all your comrades, everyone who knows that independence is not a reward. Independence is gained by the brave.

I thank everyone in Ukraine who is just like that! And everyone in the world who helps our state!

Only a dimwit or a bot couldn’t catch the sarcasm. Which are you?

I always say they’re not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

They lack ethics as well. The truth is not important to these folks.

And the cherry on top is that they think they’re clever when they’re really somewhat awkward and humorless.

After 23 months of hard fighting, the Russians have lost at least 2,619 tanks that independent analysts can confirm.

I don't think that kind of loss rate is abnormal. Most are probably temporarily disabled but later recovered, repaired and put back into action.

I believe all of the German Leopards have been knocked out and the American's won't allow the M1 Abrams into the battle for fear of them being knocked out.

--- "47k-765 Quite an estimate lol"

Glad you enjoyed the site. You can use it to find very broad estimates for all sorts of sites, not just what some have called the "war-gasm" sites.

But as to today's thread and several citations of another: \

Kanal13

And here as hotlinks to make your "lol" easier....

Denys Davydov

As the site says, "Analytics made easy." Using public data from Google / YouTube. They of course are "pretending" to provide data as to the uploading origins...

It is fascinating that 1) YouTube's own information ABOUT the YouTube channels is challenged as false / disregarded / dismissed, all the while 2) the content of some YouTube channels is deemed always true and accurate. And other content by other YouTube content creators is dismissed as easily based on nothing more than confirmation bias.

Happy analytics "lol" Sunday.

I see these kind of numbers all the time esp with regard to wealth of politicians ie worth 1-12 million…. That kind of “information” is worthless, if my accountant was giving that kind of info he wouldn’t be my accountant anymore

As to validity of YouTube channels,…. I look at lots of sites and sources and make my own conclusions. As to Denys I find his to be credible, rarely do I see any hyperbolic claims, and often he criticizes Ukrainian politicians, as well as shows Russian gains when they are there

Have watched some moscovite centric sites as well, and can say they are not as balanced
Take that for what you will

--- "Take that for what you will"

Of course I take your remarks at face value. You have your views and validate that which validates your views, and reject that which does not. Most clearly stated.

As to the comparison of analytics with your accountant, the apples and oranges make a very fine fruit salad. Skimpy on the ingredients, but....

I will wait until the conclusion of the Ukraine/Russia war to learn who is winner and who is loser. Whether it come by defeat and surrender, armistice or one or another of the governments involved collapsing, that remains for the future and for future historians.

Here is the "accountant" which motivates so much of my view:

There is nothing "lol" about our nation's fiscal health.

‘Paranoid & sick’ Putin is trapped in ‘spider web of lies’ says former Russian MP

A man who has fought Vladimir Putin from both inside the Kremlin and in exile knows a thing or two about the tyrant who rules like a “mafia boss” but thinks like a spy.

Ilya Ponomarev, a former Russian MP and leader of Russian armed resistance, revealed to The Sun that the despot is far from the all-powerful ruler he tries to be - and that he is trapped at “the centre of a spider’s web”.

The Russian renegade, 48, was a member of the Russian State Duma from 2007 until 2016 when “under personal order’s from Putin” he was suddenly exiled from Russia.

Now on the outside, he heads a resistance network of pro-Ukrainian guerrilla fighters and helps lead a Russian shadow cabinet forming in Kyiv to prepare for Putin’s “inevitable” demise.
