That being said, I'm assuming a significant number of this 15k are tied up elsewhere and/or not operational. If the losses are half of what the Ukrainians are stating the are, the Russians are going to have to start sending people in on foot in a few weeks. |
TASS briefly reported the numbers a few days back and they were fairly close to what the Ukrainians were reporting before that article got pulled down and "sanitized" is my guess. Other organizations have been independently trying to verify the destroyed vehicles on both the Russian and Ukrainian side and they only have them at 620ish Russian vehicles destroyed that can be independently verified. Here is a sample from Oryx w/ videos/photos for every destroyed vehicle.
