They will probably buy all the tickets to see the actual upcoming movie, Cocaine Bear.

An Insta page I follow does daily updates on the war, including a daily update from the Ukrainian MoD. Here is the update for today:
The daily tally of Russian losses you see here is daily typical. Now take all this with a gargantuan grain of salt as to the accuracy of these numbers. Keep in mind, almost always in a war, enemy losses tend to be inflated for propaganda purposes

Even if they're inflated 2x, those are gargantuan losses, especially for a country already in demographic decline.

Seems like I remember reading where the British estimate Russian losses even higher. I think it’s something like 180K.

And to think +58,000 lives were lost during Vietnam over the span of 10+ years of combat operations, the Russians are getting absolutely mauled in Ukraine and it’s been less than a year into this war.

This reminds me of the Russian anti-tank dogs of WWII
quote:
Anti-tank dogs (Russian: ??????-??????????? ?????? sobaki-istrebiteli tankov or ??????????????? ?????? protivotankovye sobaki; German: Panzerabwehrhunde or Hundeminen, "dog-mines") were dogs taught to carry explosives to tanks, armored vehicles and other military targets. They were intensively trained by the Soviet and Russian military forces between 1930 and 1946, and used from 1941 to 1943, against German tanks in World War II. Initially dogs were trained to leave a timer-detonated bomb and retreat, but this routine was replaced by an impact-detonation procedure which killed the dog in the process. The U.S. military started training anti-tank dogs in 1943 in the same way the Russians used them, but this training exposed several problems and the program was discontinued.[1]

Girkin's update this morning indicates that Russians are not seeing any major success in Vuhledar - the city is heavily defended, and attacking it is very disadvantageous for Wagner. Same with the south of Avdiivka, Russian advance is stalling.

Wonder how much Germany is getting from the US?

Ukraine used HIMARS to take out an important rail bridge in southern occupied Ukraine. This was the main rail line supplying Crimea via the land bridge. Has the rail line over the Kerch Straight reopened?

Doesn't appear to be much at this point

1st Tanker Carrying LNG From US Arrives in Germany
The first regular shipment of liquefied natural gas from the United States has arrived in Germany
By Associated Press

Jan. 3, 2023, at 5:45 a.m.
BERLIN (AP) — The first regular shipment of liquefied natural gas from the United States arrived in Germany on Tuesday, part of a wide-reaching effort to help the country replace energy supplies it previously received from Russia.
The tanker vessel Maria Energy arrived at the North Sea port of Wilhelmshaven, where its shipment of LNG will be converted back into gas at a special floating terminal that was inaugurated last month by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Germany has rushed to find a replacement for Russian gas supplies following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The facility in Wilhelmshaven is one of several such terminals being put in place to help avert an energy supply shortage.
Germany has also temporarily reactivated old oil- and coal-fired power stations and extended the life of its last three nuclear power plants until mid-April.

These folks had the right idea 100 years ago...
But no, Russia had to try and reinvent the sledge/stretcher because...well because.

I believe that it has been open for a good while, but with greatly reduced weight limits, meaning that the Russians are still sending a lot of freight across the strait with rail ferries.

Thank you for both those posts.
If the gas animated graphic is accurate it was interesting that prior to the significant drop in 2022 due to the embargos Germany had already cut it's Russian gas import by almost 50%.

This has been a huge concern of mine for the last 6 months. Once HIMARS were introduced why the frick did the west drag their heels on heavy armor or other equipment? We should have called Putins bluff about escalation and started getting the ball rolling on getting the Ukies the equipment they needed to win this fricking war. Now they are about to be faced with a spring offensive from Russia lacking the tools they need to both repel and counterattack this offensive. It’s the same scenario that happened in the Kyiv offensive occurring all over again. More Ukrainian lives will be forever lost and their manpower continually ground in favor of Russia because the west decided to keep fricking around with this war. Its clear they don’t give a shite if there is anything left of Ukraine as a nation or state at this point, just as long as as many Russians die as possible to take it. I hate these weak western leaders so much.
