Two times olympic weightlifting champion Oleksandr Pielieshenko gave his life while in service of the 47th Brigade

Uraaaaaaaaa

There is a database with 15 thousand confirmed losses. It wouldnt take too much effort to check it, right now like 3 people are doing all the geolocation and duplocate checking work for it. The big outlets have enough resources. The current projections for when russia runs out of tanks is being done by 1 person who finances his satelite images by donations and himself. Surely the BBC can do better?

Even putting losses into the equation is not really happening. I dont think Ive heard a single take on the difference between the near collapse of the russian front in 22 when they left brigades worth of intact equiptment to flee with civilian vehicles to the ww1 style mass casulties forward inching we have now where the only thing captured is ruins and rubble. I saw a 7 minute video of a russian walking through his position yesterday. Every 2-3meters you'd see a russian lying in the earth. I counted more than 100 dead bodies and even more left behind gear indicating people that were recovered there, dead or alive. The pg13 ones that dont need to be blurred that showcase the insane amount of burnt tank columns dont make it to the outside media either. If it was really about "shock-media" in the west Id think they'd play those sorts of Videos @Yet

Shouldn't a more modern RPG warheads melted copper jet have no issue going ~1 meter through air after hitting the sheet metal roof and still penetrate a turret beneath? The protection does seem to be working, Im sure there have been attempts at taking them out with FPV but nothing was ever published, so they likely all failed so far.

There is a somewhat large risk of further breakthroughs in the Avdiivka direction from recent days and the "fortifications" are miles behind the current frontline, while russia was sitting in a tunnel/trench network that made any exploitation impossible. Had the first line been breached there would've been 3 more hurdles before just touching Tokmak. The line south of Ocheretyne and Soloviove will likely be abandoned if the current advances north of it continue and cant be stopped with new US aid. As of today it appears in the rumor mill that the russians are successfull there. It may be a 7km wide frontline withdrawl by ~6kms, what that does to the whole of the front I dont know but it surely isnt an improvement and may cause issues nearby

Lets not drag gender politics from twitter into this when so many more interesting things are happening. I believe this will remain a missile/drone campaign to further reduce already low AD stocks in the west and divert attention, cause instability and uncertainty. Lets see how much AD the US suddenly has available if Israel asks for it.

Its not impossible but it is not the goal of the Biden administration to make Ukraine win by military means.
