Russia Loses 1180 Troops, Two Warplanes, 69 Artillery Systems in a Day
Newsweek ^ | August 5, 2024 | Brendan Cole

Posted on 08/05/2024 7:02:26 AM PDT by Alter Kaker

Russia continues to pay a high cost in troops and equipment during its full-scale invasion, according to Kyiv, the recent figures of which outline losses of several dozen artillery systems—as well as two warplanes.

Sunday's update by Ukraine's military noted how two aircraft had been among the equipment losses Russia had suffered over the previous day.

This followed what Ukraine's General Staff said was a drone strike on the Morozovsk airfield, a Russian military base in the Rostov region near the Ukrainian border, which is home to Sukhoi Su-27 and Su-34 glide bombers.

Kyiv said that the strikes hit warehouses filled with ammunition, including those hosting guided aerial bombs which Moscow has used on Ukraine for months. Newsweek has contacted the Russian Defense Ministry for comment.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said footage of secondary explosions near the airfield was consistent with strikes against an ammunition depot. Without specifying which ones in its figures, Ukraine said that Russia had lost two planes that day, taking the total aircraft losses for the war to 365.

In July, Ukrainian drones had hit the same military airfield with footage on social media showing smoke rising above the site.

Not really relevant. It’s always easier to get people to agree to defend their country than it is to get them to invade someone else’s. Eventually the Russians - or the Russian generals - are gonna say nyet and when that happens, Putin had better hope he isn’t airborne.

Russian cities look normal to me. Ukrainian cities look like Germany in 1945.

Um this is Kyiv a photo taken... yesterday. But you are correct, Russia has destroyed the areas they have conquered - they are barbarians who must be themselves destroyed.

“See, I think they are that stupid.”

Yes, they’re stupid, and it’s another stupid, bloody European ethnic border war, but they have lots more to spend than Ukraine. Why don’t we ever learn what Ukraine’s losses are? You want stupid? Ukraine is locked in an attritional battle with a much larger power and thinks it can “win”. Unless the US intervenes, the end isn’t in doubt. And we’re stupid for flushing hundreds of billions of our hard-earned tax dollars down this toilet.

The Russian army is fighting in Russia.

So, Phoenix8's comment is relevant.

It’s relevant, you just have an agenda.

And that is OK.

I agree with your post #17.

you wrote: “Yet it’s sort of pointless without comparing to the Ukrainians losses.”

I always mock the Ukrainian cheerleading contingent when they post the “horrific Russian losses”.

My line is: Ukie Tank Girl scratched her arm on her tank hatch and mussed her mascara - while coolly dispatching another 30 T-90 Russian tanks. No other Ukrainian losses were recorded.

Newsweek, the official news source for loser leftist and Ukrainian propagandist. The three of them couldn’t tell the truth if their lives depended on it.

What a load of crap. These numbers are completely made up out of thin air with no evidence whatsoever.

Only a fool would believe this propaganda given Russia's overwhelming edge in ammo and missiles fired and manpower.

Are you trying to take the title of King Clown away from Marcus Maximus?

That Ukraine is forced to surrender and give up the territory Russia possesses is inevitable.
