I'm curious, where do you get these numbers from? Seriously, does propaganda really disable logical thinking so much?

It does. Maybe because of the unprecedented access to clips from frontlines, thanks to cell cams, body cams, drone cams etc. Problem is untrained folks do come to believe that because of the mass of videos they have the big picture of the battle. That is the disablement of logical thinking. The videos are so seductive the naive viewer imagines he is in the command seat. Cool shot, he says. Then imagines Ukrainians must be repeating such hits all over the thousand mile front.

A case in point was Avdiivka. The suburb to the north west of Donetsk City. It caved rapidly to the Russians, with broken Ukrainian Brigades having to make a desperate break for it under Russian guns. But before that the Ukrainian media sphere was in glee. Some excellent shots of drone kills had flooded their media sphere. Quickly it became it was a Ukrainian turkey shoot all over Avdiivka. Our forum experts quickly consulted charts and authoritatively concluded unsustainable Russian losses. To them they were witnessing a Russian debacle.

This was days before the Ukrainian Brigades cracked and made a desperate break for it.

Let's take a sober look at how this war marked itself... The fact that both opponents have approximate parity of armaments is both barrel artillery and rocket artillery... and of course, the massive use of drones.
After the establishment of the front, which is approximately 2023, both sides faced the fact that it was impossible to conduct offensive operations of the size of a division against entrenched enemy positions. This was shown by the failed counteroffensive of Ukraine in the summer of 23, where they used up to 10-12 brigades. So did the extremely heavy assaults on Bakhmut and Avdiivka.

Ex Ukrainian Commander General Valerii Zaluzhnyii wrote an opinion piece on that in the Economist, If I recall right.

You talked about them approaching it two years ago. You said Ukraine was crumbling back then. What happened?

That was after they took Bakhmut. As was so often the case, Russia did not go right after Chasiv Yar, they put their efforts at other points of the front. Now they have taken Chasiv Yar.vyet another big stronghold captured. Sure it's a slow slog of a war. We all know this. It is a slow slog that Ukraine is losing.

In this war, it is no longer possible to use tanks, they are extremely vulnerable to drones.
All recent offensive operations are carried out in the amount of no more than a company of soldiers, and this is both an evacuation group and a support group, in other words, a platoon or a maximum of two... because it is impossible to bring a group of soldiers even the size of a battalion to 0.
Therefore, such statements are about 1,000-2,000 dead... It's like the cries from a psychiatric hospital when 20-30 people are storming, to talk about such losses is to have no connection with reality at all.

Face it. The Russians are losers. It's taken you a year and a half to get from Andivka to Povrosk, and you're still not in the city yet.

Funny... This is written by a man from a country that fled Afghanistan in disgrace just yesterday, abandoning equipment, allies, and transport planes to crush people.

We are winning the war, that's the main thing. It doesn't matter how many kilometers we walk, the result will be the same - there will be no Ukraine. Even if there is peace now, we will start a war again in a couple of years.

Russians are dying for a few kilometers of land they will never enjoy.

Yes, yes, from Andivka to ALMOST Povrosk in a year and a half.

And with how many thousands of dead Russian soldiers & how much in lost equipment.

Russia & their Troll Farm employees never have anything to brag about when they celebrate "victories".

Chasiv Yar is more or less gone. There's still some fighting, but it's done.

So after 2 solid years, they managed to take Bakhmut's supply dump.

You call what's happening "winning"?

How many tanks do you have left? How much fuel? You managed to take 1/15th the land you took 3 years ago. You must be so proud.

At least you're being honest that Russia will never be a peaceful nation that respects the sovereignty of its neighbors.
 
Russia's army is a pathetic joke, really.

This is like the Superbowl champions getting stumped by a high school team. You People should be humiliated.

The US was in Afghanistan twice as long as the USSR and suffered 7 times fewer fatalities.

There's no battlefield victory at this point that would make Russias losses worth it.
