You are very welcome. However the real hero we have had on this thread and deserves the thanks is @Haiduk. He stayed in country, scoured Ukraine social media, and translated from day 1. Without that contribution, along with all the others who have been scanning open source, we would have been blind on all this.

Ahah, thanks, you make me blush ) I would be a hero, if did this from Chernihiv or Kharkiv, but Kyiv was relatively safe place, despite heavy sounds of artillety and MLRS and sometime missiles booms in the sky

Some humour:
Darth Putin @DarthPutinKGB If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, denies it’s a duck, demands you prove it's a duck, accuses you of being a duck, says your dog is a duck, that your friend's cat is a duck & that all 3 'ducks' are Russophobic ducks paid to be crisis actors, it’s a Kremlin duck. -

Just waiting for the Russians to get out of fuel, or moral. And then get in, and start towing 😄

433 pcs of BMP-1 SP-2, BMP-1P och BMP-1A1, were bought from Germany and retrofitted in Czech, for the Swedish army. 83 were used for spare parts. 2008 335 pcs were sold back to Czech, which in turn sold 250 of them to Irak.

Armorgunner reacted to c3k in How Hot is Ukraine Gonna Get?
Ballpark numbers...
Military age males are about 10% of the total population according to that. That graphic says total is ~146 million, so MAMs number about 15 million.
If Russia has suffered 15,000 KIA and another 45,000 WIA, that's a mere 60k from that manpower barrel.
Given that a society cannot draft 100% of the MAM into combat, unless the end is nigh (see Third Reich, about February of 1945), then let's say about 1/3 can be used. 5 million available, 60k casualties.
Russia can dig a lot deeper.
Can Putin survive if Russia digs deeper? Aye, now there's the question...
Edited to add: and, what the hell are they going to equip them with??? I'll bet the new conscripts will have thought the days of, "grab the weapon of the man ahead of you when he falls" was behind them.
