No I don't buy this at all. If it is true, sounds like they are holding up just fine.

And all 11,000 were killed by a single old granny waving a frying pan.

That’s a BS number, that would be a huge part of their force, almost 10%

well keep in mind their lower grade officers are the equivalent of our NCO's. Going to be much more hands on.

Remember they lost 2 transport planes full of paratroopers in the first days of the war
Did they or is this more propaganda? Because we haven’t seen any evidence

I been following the war on social media. 11,000 is a good figure. Russian government official said losses was heavily. One unit had 4 of 100 was alive. Ukraine special forces commander said no POWS few days ago. Russia has about 175k troops involved.

They don’t have a deep non-com corp?

No idea, but given the number of troops involved on both sides it could be that or more.

Following hostilities with Russia in 2014, Ukraine increased the size of its armed forces to 204,000 soldiers (+46,000 civil servants), not counting additional forces such as the border guards (53,000), the newly formed National Guard of Ukraine (60,000) or the security service.[9] The current size of Ukraine's armed forces, which consists of 250,000 (215,000 military personnel), makes it the second largest in the region after the Russian Armed Forces.[10] In 2022, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ordered an increase in the size of the forces by 100,000 by 2025, while ending conscription in 2024. Conscription will be replaced with short-term intensive military training.[11]

I think one would have to be pretty naive to believe anything in this war of propaganda
Posted on 3/6/22 at 12:17 pm to CMBears1259
Divide that by 10 and it would be closer. Regardless, that Convoy being stalled means something is awry. Otherwise, they would have rolled around Kiev and shut it down. Maybe they are trying to avoid that 10,000 dead.

just watching combat footage, live-fire, and the aftermath. no MSM mainly first-hand social accounts. Like I said Ive seen minimum 300 destroyed russian vehicles plus 10+ destroyed columns.
Destoryed vehicle =/= instant multiple casualties. Some are disabled from combat, others run out of fuel and get torched by locals or disabled by Russians. There are certainly casualties in this type of blitzkreig attack, but basing it off number of machinery destroyed is flawd analysis. They abandon, then take civilian vehicles and regroup or wait for pickup(which can take a while, which is why they get captured).

Russia has always traded casualties for time/progress, this is nothing new and in no indication that they are losing. Think of Russia as Rocky Balboa fighting ironically lol.
America is the opposite and would rather delay progress to lessen casualties so when we see the Russian playbook we freak out.

The Ghost may have taken out 11,000 on his own. Dan Cuckshaw

It took the US 10 years lose nearly 60K troops in Vietnam. Losing 1K troops a day for Russia would be an awful sacrifice.
