With some of the images, a guy wanting to make himself legendary wouldn’t need much to take out that many.

Valerii Zaluzhny, Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces stated that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has slowed down.

According to Zaluzhny, Russian forces have lost their tactical initiative and have been forced to mobilize reserves to continue their offensive.

Holy shite if that’s true.

I know sarcasm can be hard to detect online but that one was obvious enough you should’ve been far more skeptical

Anyone else think Biden is going to announce sanctions/movement away from Russian oil in the SOTU?

That's why I linked the source data.
Youre sourced data is Twitter. If Russia were sustaining those types of losses per day theyd be finished.

I’m rooting for Ukraine as much as the next guy but those numbers aren’t even reasonable

I’m not buying the most optimistic figures of Ukrainian success, but 42 Russian tanks destroyed and 6 Russian planes shot down strikes me as a rather reasonable assessment.

I think we lost a similar number of planes to Iraq in 1991.


Some unknown US official said the US estimate of Russian losses after day 5 were around 2000, presumably that's up closer to 3000 now

Based on images I've seen and the equipment losses, that doesn't seem too farfetched.

Friend of mine sent me an article link saying US is declaring war on Russia.

Clicked it and it opened a picture of a huge naked black dude with a 2 foot dick. fricking a-hole

Those aren’t “per day”. Those are totals for 6 days.

Edit: I mean, if it’s a lie, it’s some of the most reasonable-sounding propaganda I’ve ever seen.

“Ukraine on the March! 42 out of 12,000 Russian tanks destroyed!”

my apologies then. I’ve been drinking.

In that case those numbers are definitely not encouraging for the good guys

I believe he flys one, burns the fuel, and then comes back for another fully fueled...and repeat.

You suggesting Russia committed all their tanks to fight little Ukraine? Come on man. Perhaps that’s why they can’t keep them refueled due to lack of refining capacity.

I’m saying that the figures *do pass* at least an initial BS smell test. Not that the numbers couldn’t still be made up, but it seems unlikely to propagandize by saying you destroyed only a few dozen tanks and 6 planes.

Edit: Not all US planes were shot down by friendly fire in 1991. At least 6 were hit by SAMs in 1 week. Seems like this is a fairly reasonable figure for Russian losses.

If this does happen, likely the most realistic best case scenario for Putin, I assume the economic sanctions and SWIFT move will continue in perpetuity.


I don't know about in perpetuity, but I'd think indefinitely. And make sure all the NATO nations in the area are armed and defended to the teeth. I wouldn't trust Putin and Russia at all and I'd think NATO and the western democracies would be ready to stop any more moves he would make.

I misread a post and then realized I was wrong after rereading and admitted to it. Sue me
