It’s too late. She’s/it’s dead. Just like moskva the ship. Just like 1000 russkie-officers , just like lots of tanks and aircrafts. It would be just so beautiful if China would partition russkie-land along with everybody else. Russkies are like 15 century mongols - they don’t deserve their own land. They just don’t know how to govern it. |

I believe the Wall Street Journal estimates Russian losses at over 80,000. I do not know where they get their info (Possibly British Intelligence) but they have a history of being VERY close on their numbers, over the last 70 years or so. I understand that the Soviets used information from the WSJ during the cold war, to understand what Soviet Russia's industrial output was, because they did not trust their own industrial ministries to provide accurate information, as they were always patting themselves on the back for exceeding production goals, and puffing up the numbers. Their planning committees always asked for reports based on WSJ information. For some reason the WSJ had very good numerical analysis of what was happening in Russia, regardless of politics. Industrialists in the U.S. expected and needed absolutely accurate information to plan for their businesses, and the WSJ supplied it. The WSJ tracked Russian industrial production based on railroad movements, ship activity, and even weather reports. I read about this in an article in Time Magazine many years ago, and actually had it confirmed a couple years ago, by a retired CIA guy who is a member of our local scale modeling club. (He and I are both working on large models of very early Russian Battleships, and I have used him to translate the Russian drawings I got, since I couldn't read them.) I had some books on learning Russian, and he told me not to use them, as the pronunciations would instantly reveal me as a foreigner in Russia, no matter how long or carefully I practiced. (Not much of a concern to me, as I never planned on being a spy, I just wanted to read Russian technical ship drawings for modeling purposes.) (But he said it WAS a major concern of the CIA, as they developed their own training course for Russian languages, both speaking and writing, for their own personnel to use. Something else I never knew. Who'd a thunk it?) |

Well, if it's on fire, it just means Russian troops don't have to go to the effort of firing it at the Ukrainians. They can just stay quietly in their 1foxholes and wait for all this to end. Having excess ammunition is just a pain in the ass to the Russian forces. If they have it, they gotta use it. |

We will see how long they can last with their logistics getting hit routinely. Killing a man on the ground is one thing, but eliminating entire units' capability to continue fighting is a whole other, more powerful thing. Ukraine is getting a lot of help and word in some Russian Telegrams is Russian military command are playing the blame game with each other.

Any guess as to what those men are removing from the vehicle so quickly? It it just trash? Are they MREs? Sand Bags? or some kind of ordnance? Thanks |
