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.

Sunday's update by Ukraine's military

Translation: It's bullsh$t.

The Ukrainian military has done nothing but lie throughout the war.

Any time propaganda like this is put it out, it always when Ukraine is getting hammered on the battlefield:

The Russians have anywhere from 8 to 10 to 1 advantage in ammo fired.

You're a fool if you believe they are suffering the kind of losses the Ukrainians are reporting.

And, whatever losses Russia is suffering, Ukraine is suffering many times given the edge Russia has in missiles and ammo fired.

You're a deluded idiot.

Fog of war is heavy. Do not believe anything you hear or read. Ukraine says Russia has lost over one Million men in Human wave attacks, and half their navy. They are flat broke and only living off handouts from China. Others say Ukraine has lost a million men and are reduced to drafting old men, women and boys to fight. They are finished and one breakthough will see Russians in Kiev. None is true. We will know the real truth when the war ends—and that will be after the elections in USA and Europe.

And you're on Iran's side. The pro-Mullah faction of FR speaks.

What an idiotic thing to say. What is wrong with you?

Newsweak...the same rag that spiked Mike Isikoff’s story on the Clinton/Lewinsky affair because they didn’t have two verified sources to back it up. That was probably the last time they ever worried about verified sources.

Those who have UKE genes in their DNA believe all reports claiming Ukraine is winning.

The rest of us, not so much.

Nope not the same publication. That publication doesn't exist any more, this is a different publication with the same name.

Found it on Twitter. I’m sure you can find something from another major Ukrainian city if you google.

Yes it's idiotic to be pro-Mullah, pro-Putin, or pro-Hamas. And yet somehow many FReepers are.

In this war, drones are more lethal than artillery, Ivan. You'll learn that when you get your turn at the front.

Name then. And back it up with sample posts.

You shouldn’t have any problem backing up such a serious and inflammatory accusation.

They aren't stupid enough to get bogged down in a war of attrition invading their neighbors at a time when drones make offensive military operations extremely costly? See, I think they are that stupid.

A war of attrition that exists to feed our Military Industrial Complex, that satisfies the blood lust of the NeoCons and benefits the Globalist's aspirations of total world domination is an abomination.
