Russian army sitrep

Tank losses
>Oryx visible confirmation count: 807
>Ukrainian claim: 1572
Truth probably somewhere in the middle + no doubt many Russian tanks have broken down even before reaching the front

Manpower losses
>UK claim KIA: 25 000
>Ukrainian claim KIA: 35 000
WIA/KIA ratio historically very rarely under 3, avg maybe 4.5
Total WIA+KIA fairly likely now over 100 000 + many reported refusenikis

Even if Russia had a professional army before, it barely does now. The current army is no doubt still led by professionals, but the meat of it is increasingly filled with soldiers that have little training. Also, patching together units rarely makes them as effective as before.
All this without even mentioning other resources like ammo/artillery barrels/NVGs/PGMs/money
The Russian army is not what is used to be 5 months ago and this conflict in Ukraine is far from even over yet.
How could such a patched up army even do much against professional, fresh NATO forces?

        He does.
        Also, because Ukraine banned the photo's of Ukrainian dead, and the Russians sucks at documenting their successes there is less information generally on said losses other than what Russians publish.
        If Russia took more pictures he would probably have higher Ukrainian losses on his site.
        But since Russia is a lying piece of shit that provides no evidence of 250% of the Ukrainian airforce shot down other than press releases that are fake as frick, and wont provide its own casualty numbers, we can only assume the worst.

    I think for every lost tank on Oryx there is another tank broken down, run out of fuel or damaged by it's crew to avoid combat or destroyed and not found yet. So maybe ukrainian claims are true?

    They have very poor treatment of wounded so that ratio 1:3 is not valid. That's for western countries. In case of Russia 1:2 is probably more close to relaity. So my personal guess is 75k Ivans out of combat. And 50-60k Ukraininas with 20k KIA.

    Oryx is unreliable please don’t treat it as God’s truth. At this point, Ukrainian losses are certainly greater than Russia’s, the truth won’t come out until much later when the data finally gets into the hands of academia. Anyway, Ukrainian vehicle losses will be much less because they had much less vehicles to begin with. Apparently they’re going all out trying to restore mothballed planes using foreign parts and cannibalizing other stuff in storage. They have a lot of mothballed junk. Still, Russia has seemingly been able to maintain air supremacy. The practice lobbing rockets ballistically seems to have worked to greatly reduce the threat of MANPADS, although the effectiveness of that is super questionable.

            What reason would you have to believe that though? Generally attackers take MUCH higher casualties than defenders, Russia hasn't enjoyed much in the way of air superiority, progress in terms of territorial gains hasn't sped up at all. Every fighting age male in the separatist regions is rounded up and sent to the front while Ukraine hasn't even gone beyond mobilizing reserves. What indication is there that Russia is outperforming expectations and inflicting heavier casualties on the defenders than they are absorbing?

            The truth won’t come out until later — if at all, since the Pentagon already said that they’re having trouble determining what’s going on in Donbas. It’s my belief that Ukraine has lost a lot more than Russia has. This belief is based on several factors: 1. Russia is advancing, Ukraine is retreating
            2. Russia masses fire on defenses and then moves in only after defenders have retreated.
            3. Ukraine operates artillery solo while Russia operates them in batteries. Also Russia does counter-battery fire and Ukraine does not seem to.
            4. Pro-Russian territories have been emptied out to take the brunt of fighting (as it seems) with Russians offering only support.
            5. Western military aid has slowed down. This is probably because leaders don’t think Ukraine is capable of winning; there’s other evidence that points to that.
            6. Ukraine forces have very little support. Artillery seems to just rove around waiting for targets to show up from drones and NATO. Air power is minimal and seems to be used piecemeal. Defenders are essentially men with rifles and some AT weapons hunkered down in shallow trenches being pounded by artillery non-stop. The balance of force is massively on Russia’s side.

                The short answer is: Corruption.
                Officer steal and embezzle up and down the chain of command; this results in not only readiness being ruined, it sends falsified data up to leadership (to cover for individuals’ corruption). Using bad data the leadership planned out a rapid decapitation. If the brass knew readiness was in the trash they didn’t say anything because they’re also corrupt and were planning to blame lower levels.

                Also something I’ve been thinking about recently. Remember how the units weren’t told where they were going and didn’t know until they found themselves in Ukraine? I suspect now that was done on purpose by the brass to "trick" the army into deploying. If the officers knew they had to invade Ukraine they may panic and refuse to go because they knew they wouldn’t be able to make the road march, forget fighting. That would have brought Putin’s attention and he’d have to listen to stories of higher-ups embezzlement of all their supplies, fuel, maintenance, etc. So better to just let them think they were doing a drill until it was too late and hope the decapitation could be pulled off by the missiles and VDV.

                Yes. Putin is now personally getting involved in planning operations in the Donbas. The total reorganization of the war, forcing generals to the front, replacing leadership, etc, is evidence of that. Five oligarchs and their families (I think two families) were found dead in "suicides". The real reason, of course, is something else — probably these guys took the fall for corruption. Who knows how many Russians have been visited by the FSB. Perhaps Russian generals being sent to the front was like a penal duty. In any case Putin is watching the military closely and is unlikely to let further corruption ruin it.

                Probably, but there are limits. I doubt it's possible to sell all the unit's diesel and get away with it if you have a realistic chance of deploying.
                There must be a mad scramble across the country to get find some way of making good the losses, or somehow weasel out of being held culpable.

                Corruption is the killer of empires and as a subject of research one of the most interesting ones.

                We can see it in China as well, the same kind of corruption. Every layer skims a bit of the milk until only water is left.
                Someone uploaded a documentation about building the three gorges dam in China to YT, from 1998 or so. You can see what corruption means and how deep it is embedded in all layers of society. For example, the party compensated money to peasants that had to leave for the dams body of water. Every layer of the party took some, until there was no money left to give. The peasants didn't get their money, those that made a ruckus got punished by every layer of the communist party that was corrupt.

                Corruption in democratic nations is far lower, because democracy comes with free speech and free press. Thus we talk about and punish when large scale corruption is found out. If there is no free press and no free speech, corruption isn't talked about and not punished.
                That is why, in the long run, democratic nations have more resilience, innovation and power.

              And ukraine just sits there and takes it? Hint: if your shit does not have longer range than the defenders, it means you are advancing into fricking arty barrage.

              Which again means that Russian shit gets wiped out en masse. And there is less proofs of Ruskie counter-battery than ukie ones.

              Doesn't indicate Ukraine is taking more losses at all.
              >2. Russia masses fire on defenses and then moves in only after defenders have retreated.
              Each city fight is the same for past two months. Russia shells the city, sends unsupported poorly trained infantry, infantry gets fricked, rinse and repeat until Ukraine withdraws to another fortified postion because there is nothing but rubble. It's Russia who is taking more losses in this kind of combat.
              >3. Ukraine operates artillery solo while Russia operates them in batteries. Also Russia does counter-battery fire and Ukraine does not seem to.
              Russia operates massed arty becasue they are very, very poor at precision strikes so they just mass firepower and hope for the best. Ukraine has less guns but better targeting and guided munitions. This doesn't indicate Ukraine took more losses. Just different doctrine.
              Yes, Ukraine doesn't do counterbattery fire exactly because they don't mass guns to begin with. In case they get caught they take less losses but are unable to counterbattery.
              >4. Pro-Russian territories have been emptied out to take the brunt of fighting (as it seems) with Russians offering only support.
              How does that indicate Ukraine took more losses?

              It hasn't slowed down. It's more or less the same. Instead of small arms it's now larger more sophisticated weapon systems. Different type of support.
              >6. Ukraine forces have very little support...
              Artilery is indeed on the move to avoid being targeted. Nothing wrong with that. On the contrary. Air power is minimal but Russia was effectively denied air superiority so they only fly sorties from the border. In the end neither side uses airforce. And what's worng with infatry armed with rifles and AT dugged in? It seems to work quit well.

                1. It suggests Ukraine is taking more losses — otherwise they wouldn’t retreat and the Russian offensive would have likely collapsed by now.
                2. All fights in the Donbas is like this. Ukrainians sit in trenches and civilian structures, get hit with artillery until they retreat. Russia moves in only after the defenders have left. There are no assaults being conducted (at least not as the norm).
                3. Russia operates arty in battery because they can. Ukraine doesn’t because they can’t. They have much better accuracy thanks to Western guns and ammo plus a good battle management system for arty — but much less firepower. They look for targets to shoot at, shoot, and then move to avoid counter-battery. They do not appear to (often) do counter-battery of their own.
                4. Takes more losses vs Russia. Where there is infantry battles they seem to be against separatist forces.
                5. It’s slowed down greatly, a fact that’s been reported on in MSM.
                6. Artillery seems to be used as an independent force sniping targets that pop up, not being used to support troops. In fact it seems that troops have 0 organic fire support elements. If they have them on paper it’s not there in reality. All (most?) BTGs have artillery attached — 2 or 3 batteries standard (although this may have broken down somewhat due to losses at the start of the war).

                Retreating doesn't necessarily mean they're taking higher losses. It could mean they're only holding an area so long as the fortifications are standing. Once the place has been levelled they fall back to somewhere that hasn't been. Obviously they'll be taking losses doing that but we don't know what the Russians are taking from counter-artillery, mines, failed direct assaults, drones, snipers or whatever.

                This is so stupid I'm not really sure what to say at this point.
                Do you seriously believe that modern war works like some sumo match where you just push your opponent from the circle and therefore you won? Do you seriously not understand how lines of defense work? Do you seriously not understand the concept of retreat as a way to exhaust your enemy? Hell, this is not even a modern strategy. Ukraine is large and therefore has an operational depth. It's the same shit Russains used against Napoleon! 200 years ago! Sure this wouldn't work in small countries like Estonia but it works perfectly in Ukraine. Even better when there are new lines of defenses you can gradually retreat to. Losing patch of ground is meaningless as long as you bled enemy dry.
                >Ukrainians sit in trenches and civilian structures, get hit with artillery until they retreat. Russia moves in only after the defenders have left. There are no assaults being conducted (at least not as the norm).

                It’s slowed down greatly as commented on MSM.

                Are we talking units or money's worth of units?

                M777 deliveries were completed earlier this month, they are now starting to send MLRS and European countries are ramping up artillery deliveries as well. These are comparatively expensive systems relative to the Soviet stuff sent earlier.

              >Western military aid has slowed down.
              Are you dumb? It's only starting to ramp up now. Two months ago, Germany wasn't even willing to send heavy weapons. Yet just a few days ago, it worked together with the Netherlands to deliver 12 PZH2000. Now they're working together with Netherlands and Italy to deliver an additional 11 PZH to Ukraine, scheduled to almost double the original shipment by the beginning of August, with 15 Gepards being scheduled to arrive by July 15.

              That's just an example of how even one of the most initially relucant members is really starting to pump Ukraine full of that NATO steroid. Other nations like the US, UK, Poland and France are ramping up their support as well. The amount of equipment coming towards Ukraine started as a trickle that the Russians are dumb enough to believe can't turn into a flood in time.

                This isn’t true. Initially, right after Russia got caught with their pants down, arms were delivered to Ukraine almost instantly. This facilitated the great massacre of stalled and unprotected convoys. Since then arms were continually committed but delivery had become much delayed. Nothing like the immediate deliveries in the first weeks. Poland and few others have stepped up but the West, which could EASILY provide everything Ukraine is asking for, seems not to want to move on it, even while leaders reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine. The US by itself could with 0 legal obstacles — yet only 100 towed guns with ALL their advanced gear stripped and 4 HIMARS until Ukraine proves itself capable with them and then they get a dozen(?) more. 220k rounds of 155mm which won’t last than 5 days at their current usage. Tanks? Nothing. IFVs? Nothing. Aircraft? Zero. And so on. I believe what is happening, besides a lack of leadership by any of the key nations, is that military experts are telling governments that Ukraine doesn’t have infrastructure, training, capabilities, organization, etc, to win even with more weapons. So everyone is soft-peddling now. At first everyone was excited to get Ukraine into NATO…then, no one wanted them in. I believe it’s all related.

                Just, get out of your echo chamber and start reading news articles.

                What Ukraine initially received were basically the leftover stocks of infantry-borne weapons everyone had in storage, such as Panzerfausts, Stingers, Javelins etc. The stuff that is coming now is actual heavy weapons that Ukraine asked for. Besides that, the flow of the lighter weapons hasn't really abated either, it's just coming in bursts when shipments are ready. Such as the thousands of MATADORs that Germany sent to Ukraine this month.

                This.
                First weapon shimpents were literally weapons close to expiration or in genral stuff not considered usefull anymore. Typical example could be small arms or T-72s from Czech Republic that were mothballed and itneded just for the case of absolute emergency.
                Since last month or so it's much more modern and capable weapon systems that are transfered from active reserves.

                Neither of those are evidence for your claims. The first article concerns the lack of 'cutting edge' military gear. The second frames typical logistical timeframes as an issue; its irrelevant to your point because earlier packages are being delivered to form a steady stream.

                You need to show that the scale of delivery is 'nothing like' the delivery in the first few weeks (presumably you mean 24th Feb onwards).

                The PZH and and Gepards aren't even that interesting tbqh. The 10k shells + the paperless request for more being opened up is.

              >5. Western military aid has slowed down. This is probably because leaders don’t think Ukraine is capable of winning; there’s other evidence that points to that.
              Because the West has been gutting their militaries since the end of the Cold War and then quickly ran out of the equipment they did have once they began shipping it to the Ukraine.

          What reason would you have to believe that though? Generally attackers take MUCH higher casualties than defenders, Russia hasn't enjoyed much in the way of air superiority, progress in terms of territorial gains hasn't sped up at all. Every fighting age male in the separatist regions is rounded up and sent to the front while Ukraine hasn't even gone beyond mobilizing reserves. What indication is there that Russia is outperforming expectations and inflicting heavier casualties on the defenders than they are absorbing?

            Ukraine had 5 waves of mobilization already, there are units made of conscripts only getting deleted by artillery right now.

      You mean those that can't even hit an airfield because Russian missiles are junk and so is their vatnik GPS?
      Airsuperiority is the one thing they lack, over a country that is right next to them and got poverty written all over it.

      Lysychansk pocket is so ridiculously small so stop overhyping the importance of it. Ukraine has a grand total of 8000 men there who they're pulling out 500 a day to more stable lines. Lysychansk is literally an atomic pocket you have to zoom in at with a microscope to see. Yes the moskals are advancing, but not without losses and in the grand scheme of things they're being exhausted. Actually try to understand what strelkov is writing in his doomposts

    so let me get this straight: russkies had about 150000 soldiers committed to the invasion that are in ukraine right now. a lot of sources claim that. of which 100000 according to you are out of action. the remaining 50000 (ok, add to that remaining 10000 dnr/lnr volkstrumm) is: holding kherson, melitopol, mariupol, eastern donbas; successfully causing ukrainian veterans to withdraw from remaining luhansk territories, conducting attacks from izyum and popasna, attacking kharkov, attacking areas in sumy and being stationed north of ukraine, in belarus. against ukrainian army that is defending its territory with at least 300k soldiers? a 6 to 1 ratio for the defenders? and the ukrainians are slowly losing ground. is this what you're saying?

      You are being misleading on purpose in a discussion thread, not a meme thread
      I have not seen any source claim Russians had 150 000 initially committed to the invasion. I've seen numbers from 190 000 up to something like 250 000. And the Russians have been constantly trying to find and bring reinforcements in. The reinforcements ofc being likely less trained or even not trained at all.

    It'll be interesting to see what this does to the levels of enlistment and conscription in Russia. People talk and families of servicement gossip like hell, will the talk of how so and so's husband or father was KIA/WIA in Ukraine reduce the number of men looking to become soldiers, since being a Russian soldier has gone from being a fairly guaranteed low paying job to significant risk to life and health?
