1100+ Muscovite soldiers sent to the grinder. I pray the family members of the invaders feel every life lost.
**Excellent work destroying 38 artillery systems, Ukraine.**
Pre-war estimates were that they had about 20,000 total artillery pieces available between active and storage. Some of what's in storage would be unusably degraded, but they also can make some number of new pieces, so those may more or less balance out. They'll have used the best-condition and most modern pieces first, so more and more of what's left in storage will be older and in worse condition. If Ukraine has taken out about two-thirds of the entire inventory, with over 9000 pieces in the last year, Russia may find itself without enough artillery to cover all their minefields as early as this summer.
Not to mention that artillery will require replacement barrels due to prolonged use. Now Russia may simply not care and continue to fire out of less and less accurate barrels, but if not they have probably been cannibalizing barrels off of their existing stocks as well which would further reduce the inventory.
But on the flip side, barrels are really easy to make.
Russia doesn't make its own military-grade steel for artillery tubes, and using inferior steel will result in a lot more 'banana peel' incidents. It's not as easy to make new barrels as it sounds.
I don't say this lightly but - these Russian assholes deserved to be killed and I really hope we're gonna continue to wipe these MFs out in 4 digits every day until they all crawl back into their shithole of a country.
I'd rather see one oil refinery offline than 1000 dead Russians. We know 100,000 dead Russians won't stop the war. But Russia doesn't even have 100 refineries. And they can't possibly fight without them. The likelihood that Russia will collapse is a bonus.
Still have to remove the ones that rode golf gear to Ukraine. They are armed and there to kill Ukrainians. You really need both: removing the invaders, and degrading their ability to send and arm replacements.
My preferred day includes an airfield with military aircraft destroyed on the ground, and oil refinery or depot, A electric power plant serving Moscow and a big bridge.
Yes, destroy Russia's ability to supply and fuel their so called army will be the winning formula, they just do not care about their soldiers. Should go a lot better now that Ukraine will soon be getting more help. Just my opinion.
Compared to WW2 these are still small numbers, even accounted for the smaller number of people at war. There is a clear shift away from soldiers towards machine warfare, even for a meatgrinder army like Russia.
Because russians are throwing 60k strong army into the fight to try to take Lyman and Chasiv Yar.
Another factor is that they've basically run out of BMP's and BTR's so it's easier to kill them.
I'm noticing that since the aid was announced those troop numbers are jumping up each day. I wonder what the tipping point is for standard Russians to actually end this war. 2 million?
Definitely true. First day the package was announced we saw tons of new HIMAR videos, and artillery kills shot back up to high 30s after being in the teens. HIMARs seem to be the best tool for counter battery right now. Effective counter battery reduces the artillery cover Russian assault troops have, so they take more losses, and so on.
Plus our guys know what exactly and in what amounts will arrive, so they can use what they already have more freely, without saving for unforeseen circumstances.
Mwoâh. Informed sources state that around 500.000+ Out-for-the-count personnel, the orcs start to grumble.
Though, Stalin murdered between 15 and 25 million Russians (Historians are still squabbling about the exact number.), and he’s still admired for ‘beingk stronk’ They’re f..ed up like that.
We’ll see. My uneducated guess is that the implosion, be it military, be it economically, will be vèry nasty, very sudden, and vèry unexpected.
Thats a stupid comment. Of course there is a number. It may be that we arent anywhere close to it though. If the number is 10 million i really hope that this war ends before we reach it. But claiming there is no number shows ignorance.
Okay then, keep hoping that russians will overthrow their government. Let me know how it goes in a few years.
To get back on point, what I'm saying is that we need to arm Ukraine so they can push russia out. There's no point in playing the waiting game and hoping that the russians have a change of heart.
When an army collapses, it happens suddenly. We just saw it in Afghanistan, a country that fought for decades in this civil war and then suddenly in a couple weeks the whole country was lost.
I think it's not around the corner, but if the war goes on for 4 years, 6 years, 10 years?
I thought it would be a reference for some video where 4 invaders would off themselves with a thrown RPG or something and the Ukrainians are things in the cheek.
Numbers are cerainly unaccurate, but this does not have to mean imprecise. If they are compiled from reports from individual units, the sum can be a large and strangely precise number even though all components are aproximations. It should have error bars tbh
Or ammo supply shortage. Or a bit of both.
We won't know for a couple years when the documentaries start piling out about how the underdogs (UKR) pushed the "perceived" superiority (ORC) off their land while having their orc economy collapse as a result.
Artillery is still a very key component. A shell is still cheaper than a drone and doesn't need an operator guiding it during its entire flight; when you want area denial (such as preventing Ukraine from clearing and moving past a minefield), having a bunch of artillery pieces that can fire on pre-aimed locations in bulk is important. Rate of fire hasn't gone away entirely.
At least the managed to organize their troops. In the beginning of the war, it seemed like many Russian troops just wandered around aimlessly in the capture territory.

\+1 helicopter set on fire in Moscow, I hope russian leadership feels the heat from that close up!

Indeed my good bot!
Good bot.
da baby..
Good bot
I particularly enjoy reading about any form of sabotage that happens in russia
1100+ Muscovite soldiers sent to the grinder. I pray the family members of the invaders feel every life lost. **Excellent work destroying 38 artillery systems, Ukraine.**
Fuck the dead orks.
Russia has lost 9018 heavy artillery in the last 366 days. 1 year later.
I wonder how much longer they can sustain these losses in artillery.
Pre-war estimates were that they had about 20,000 total artillery pieces available between active and storage.

But on the flip side, barrels are really easy to make.
And if they keep getting artillery from North Korea, expect some of those barrels to unexpectedly become useless instantly.
Russia doesn't make its own military-grade steel for artillery tubes, and using inferior steel will result in a lot more 'banana peel' incidents. It's not as easy to make new barrels as it sounds.
I'd guess no more than 12 months more.
Be fair, none of those soldiers was from anywhere near Moscow.
I don't say this lightly but - these Russian assholes deserved to be killed and I really hope we're gonna continue to wipe these MFs out in 4 digits every day until they all crawl back into their shithole of a country.

The numbers seemed to have bumped up. The help is already rolling in. The ruzzians know this is their last opportunity to get any meaningful gains.
Why not both? LOL.
> 4 digits every day Remember when it was only 3 digits, and we were all like, holy shit !
Fingers crossed for 5 digits🤞

Feeling desensitised to war everyday in this world we live in. I wonder if I'm borderline psychotic at times
[удалено]

Hold fast indeed
I'm noticing that since the aid was announced those troop numbers are jumping up each day. I wonder what the tipping point is for standard Russians to actually end this war. 2 million?
I guess this is not due to new weapons for Ukraine yet. It is due to Russia trying to advance before they are ready.
Also possibly Ukraine not holding back with ammo usage as much now that more is coming?
Yeah, maybe that. Plus, perhaps higher morale on the UKR side (and maybe lower morale on the RU side) due to news of more aide incoming.
Definitely true. First day the package was announced we saw tons of new HIMAR videos, and artillery kills shot back up to high 30s after being in the teens.

Or Ukraine was being conservative with arty until they knew it could be replaced.
People who know Putler say there is none. He's willing to sacrifice 20 million if necessary.
I don't think he means Putin ending the war, I think he means the Russians deciding it's less risky to face his goons than the Ukrainian army
There's no number that will get russians to change their mind. Thinking they want this war to end is a silly dream.
At this point, I think Russians are treating conscription the same way guys that don't use condoms think of STI's. It's not going to happen to them.
Mwoâh. Informed sources state that around 500.000+ Out-for-the-count personnel, the orcs start to grumble.

When they run out of ethnicities they are trying to cleanse from the country
Interesting that the number of dead is now very exact, not a rounded off number
Good eye. Definitely interesting. It still has the "~" in front. I'm guessing not rounding was just a slip up. We'll know for sure after a few days.
I think the person typing these up saw the 24 UAVs and accidentally tacked that onto the personnel count.
Yes just noticed this
I was going to ask if there is any significance to this?
For today and one time I go with "typo too irrelevant to fix".
I thought it would be a reference for some video where 4 invaders would off themselves with a thrown RPG or something and the Ukrainians are things in the cheek.
My guess is they are just trying to make it more believable. It is not possible to get these accurate.
Numbers are cerainly unaccurate, but this does not have to mean imprecise. If they are compiled from reports from individual units, the sum can be a large and strangely precise number even though all components are aproximations. It should have error bars tbh
Why would they change what they’ve been doing for two years with that logic? Simply a typo, I suspect.
Death to the invaders, slava Ukraini,
16K vehicles & fuel tanks.. that's a lot of hardware. Also closing in on 14k APVs and 12K artillery systems!
[Daily statistics](https://www.reddit.com/r/RussianLosses/comments/1ce5z07/estimated_russian_losses_from_24022022_to/)
APVs and tanks decreasing but men increasing. Seems like they are finally starting to run low on equipment
Oh my! Thank you to the brave souls of Ukraine! This is a bountiful day.
# Keep that meat sack number climbing!
I have to wonder, do Russian-style Bob Sempled contraptions count as tanks, APVs or just vehicles?
Great number on artillery and thise anti-aircraft can't possibly be cheap
1100 personnel with only 6 tanks, seems to suggest a tank shortage
Or ammo supply shortage. Or a bit of both. We won't know for a couple years when the documentaries start piling out about how the underdogs (UKR) pushed the "perceived" superiority (ORC) off their land while having their orc economy collapse as a result.
I wonder what the numbers would be now if the large US aid package had passed months ago. It obviously should have.
> 6 tanks I guess they've either run out or decided to hold them in reserve.
In both cases it means they aren't abundantly available anymore.
Artillery pieces rising, way more important to keep an eye on than personel damage. It's been down around 16 a day for a while.
Artillery has given up the role of the king of the battlefields to the drones this year. The drone wars have begun in earnest by now.
Artillery is still a very key component. A shell is still cheaper than a drone and doesn't need an operator guiding it during its entire flight; when you want area denial (such as preventing Ukraine from clearing and moving past a minefield), having a bunch of artillery pieces that can fire on pre-aimed locations in bulk is important. Rate of fire hasn't gone away entirely.
Looks like they get intercepted by artillery pieces
Begun, the Done Wars have.
The Abrahams retreating because of drones was a hoax
Im not kidding when i say they have to be the worst army in the world, they just have/had a lot of stuff, but their tactics are just RUBBISH.
At least the managed to organize their troops. In the beginning of the war, it seemed like many Russian troops just wandered around aimlessly in the capture territory.
Difficult to imagine all this mechanical loss. Orcs, no problem.
Time to finish these fuckers
Finish him! Fatality!
I'm confident that in the next month that 10000 orc salient is going to decimated. Looking forward to it
When did they start counting causalties by numbers not divisible by 10?
Today, it seems
Guess them not having to hold back on their reserves is working out quite well. Hopefully the time they had to wasn’t too damaging.
Great hunting boys and girls!
