    At one point, shootings in Venezuela dropped because the cost of ammo was so high it was no longer economical to shoot people to rob them. They couldn't recoup the cost.

      The AFU lost 1000 men KIA in a small village called Krynki. They can't recover 95% of the b0d1es so they list them as MIA and the men's families are looking for them on Facebook because the military has them listed as missing while in reality their remains rot on the east side of the Dnieper. Btw Ukraine doesn't even have Krynki. It was a pointless exercise in wasting lives. This is just a small example to demonstrate to you that your propaganda bubble isn't telling you anything about the scale of AFU losses. But go on talking about fictional human waves.

Combine this with the heaps of videos on X showing FPV drones deleting soldiers in transit long before they reach the front, and the Russian insane casualties make sense.

      Thanks for the information. I enjoyed the read and knowledge you provided.
      I also got a question now. Are airburst air defence systems (with normal bullets or shrapnel rounds) more an 'anti-drone' system, or do they still fall under ballistic AA Defence System?
      As in, I know ballistic AA is probably fazed out, but I also think that they can serve as great anti drone defence.

    Regarding the status of Russia's reserve vehicles, if anyone is interested in a more in depth overview of rate of depletion for various vehicle types, the channel Perun recently did an hour long breakdown of just that, entitled "Russian Equipment Losses & Reserves (2024) - the Changing Russian Force in Ukraine" If you want even more detail, he cites a number of the freelance analysts who actually do the satellite photo interpretation to produce this intel, and has a variety of sources documented in the description of said video.
    It's a bit dry and intensely detailed - Perun is very much a logistics-focused analyst - but at the level of his video, it's actually kinda interesting. Personally I'm not the right kind of person to go digging beyond that level of summary, though.

    I am from Russia myself and have a vantage point (purely my own observations). Massive losses estimates are not unreasonable. The demobilization order never came thorough, men are being chased by military commissars, the pay package for signing a contract with the military has been rising exponentially with the average salary of an infantry men far exceeding a salary of a financial director or an experienced IT professional etc. if you triangulate, you can definitely tell the cadence of losses outpaced the recruitment

      Another thing which is difficult to trace is the forced conversion of conscripts to contractors. Officially, conscripts cannot be legally sent to war. But once conscripted, the command puts pressure and bullies conscripts into switching to contract. I know someone who was a conscript in Rosgvardia. We talked him out of switching to contract back in August 2022, just a few weeks before mobilization. He was not even aware of the fate of the Rosgvardia ill fated echelons that got torched on the way to Kharkiv

    Everyone talks about the Is and Gz conflict from the human perspective and not from the game of strategy perspective. The attack on Is was a provokation intended to be so bad it can't be ignored. It was a chess move designed to either make them act and look terrible, or not act and look weak. With profit on both sides for the instigator. A "win win" for the instigator. However, the Is knew this, and knew the option they were expected not to take: Punch back so hard that the social gains of making them look like monsters arnt worth the losses. By huntiny the leadership without mercy and ripping through human shields to do it, they have effectivly ensured the same won't be required in the future and no one will try this particular move again. In the long term, it is possible being this brutality will actually lead to less brutality, because who wants to volunteer to hunt someone as ruthless as yourself.
    It sucks for everyone because that scale of decisions reduces humanity, the truly valuable thing about all of this, to numbers, but that's part of the trap they are in.

      This assumes you dont create generations of resentment and twenty more fighters for every one you eliminate. Ask the U.S. and the Soviets how that worked out for them in the middle east. Now remember that Is can't just pack up its crap and go home when they get tired of the mess, because the mess is literally right next door.
      It also runs the risk of turning Is into a pariah state (to say nothing of the fact that if you look at the actual number of hostage rescues, the overwhelming majority have been released as the result of diplomatic negotiations, not military actions). This is going to bite them, and the fact that its being carried out by a guy staring down the barrel of corruption charges the moment he loses power isn't helping that international image....

    Well I see that the Russian’s tactics haven’t changed much sine WWII. It reminds me of a story I heard where an American general asked Zhukov how they got around the German minefields and he said that, “we don’t waste time going around, we go right through them. Some men always make it”. I’m paraphrasing, but loss of life seems to be taken lightly in their thinking.

      So according to you, Russia is limiting the forces it mobilizes because NATO is going to invade, and instead of a rapid mobilization which could end the war quickly, and leave them with vastly more manpower and equipment ready for that invasion, instead they are going to slowly fight against Ukraine, and give the west time to build up their industry to take them on. And only after NATO invades will they begin mobilizing their forces.
      In other words, you're saying the Russians are incompetent.

      The russian federation is not the soviet union. The soviet army was made up of ukranians, belorussians, balts and many other nationalities who simply are not part of the russian federation of today. They simply cannot afford to take those same amounts of casualties because russias pooulation is smaller than the USSR of 1941 and the population pyramid is drastically different because the largest adult cohort currently is 35-40 with no replacement on the horizon instead of the soviet unions 25-29 with there being enough teenagers to replace them.
