Oryx has it at 44 destroyed, 45 damaged and/or abandoned, and 4 captured. A lot of what Ukraine gets as aid is just store credit at the MIC, so they can make purchases that aren't part of the big donations that get all the attention.

Things haven't gone perfect for Russia in the last 2.5 years. Why would you assume that suddenly things would go more than perfect?

Ukraine wont sign a shitty peace treaty, even at the threat of the US withholding aid. Fighting with just europe in your corner is better than signing what Russia offers. And here is a major thought, what if Trump gets it in his mind to get a great deal, cause he is a master businessman. So he will end up going quite hard on Russia, threatening them that he will drown Ukraine in aid if they don't become reasonable.

MD here.
Most of what's gone are the apical parts of the cortex. They are sensory and motor (voluntary movements). They are not necessary for any vital functions required for autonomous life support and homeostasis.
Basically his cardiovascular and respiratory functions are not too damaged, his sympathetic and parasympathetic fucntions are mostly intact, his balance and proprioception are okay... He will, on the surface, look relatively fine. The extent of the damage can be assessed by probing for each possible complication separately (fine motor, musculocutaneous sensory etc,.)
The brain is also very plastic and part of the lost sensory and motor capacity can be compensated later on with proper treatment and rehab. It won't ever be 100%, not even 50% most likely, and seems like there are some issues with the vagocranium too, not just the neurocranium so this miserable creature is in for a whole new world of fun.

Yes, also compatibility issues mean he can now only play with other people running just the base game with little to no DLCs and bug fixes.
+ no cross platform.

>>62137007
Adding to my post: the base game is in the middle and descending to the spinal cord. Everything around it are patches and DLCs. Only the base game is required to sustain life. All the other stuff are all the unncessary things like balance, knowing where you are in space, moving your everything, understanding things, sensing, doing things and whatever you do intentionally or can comperehend.
All the stuff that your body does unintentionally, basically things that do not require user input and just happen on their own. You do not sense or comprehend the blood gasses receptors in your subclavian artery or consciously regulate vasal tone, for example.

The Russian conventional military will effectively be over by autumn, however if they don;t 'negotiate' to leave Ukraine and had over kids/pows/war criminals, then this could go onto summer 25 for actual TZD and Russian social and economic collapse. It may be better for Ukraine and the world that for example, the entire Russian airforce is destroyed along with the ground forces
>>
>>62137546
1. EW is a constant cat and mouse game, it's never "solved" unless your opponent is out of technicians 2. from Ukraine's perspective and probably Russia's too, navigating EW laden environments is a well trod problem, it's a hazard not a barrier
>>
Any estimations how many tanks Russia currently fields in Ukraine? not the storage numbers
>>
>>62137562
Even the most optimistic projections from experts state that Russia won't lose all its tanks and artillery until another year and a half from now. And even if they hold on that long they still have to deal with the endless supply of planes Ukraine has barely scratched dropping mass produced glide bombs on positions. It is why Russia is slowly gaining again. Russian planes drop the bombs from too far away to be targeted by air defense so Ukrainian soldiers on the ground can't really respond. It is also why every city in the frontline is starting to look like Mariupol for some reason. Artillery being wiped out matters less and less because now the meat waves are being protected by glide bombs instead of artillery. The only way Ukraine can change the way things are going is by going apeshit with their long-range drone production and start spamming far away airfields that host Mig-31s, Tu-22M, Su-34s and Tu-95s to death
>>
>>62137558
Practically all their tanks except the T-72 and 90's
But they have the bottleneck of equipment and fittings which means that they're replaced at a rate of about 25-26 T-90's a year and I dunno about the other ones. The other bottleneck I found is the press-machinery used to make heavy gun barrels in Russia is apparently one unit and by design it's not able to make more than 100 barrels a year- once you factor in all the drilling and milling they can make a gun barrel about every 3-4 days.
This isn't hugely strange for gun barrels and similar systems exist in England and the US to make them as well and sort of why they switched to rockets- gun barrels are hard. Or more specifically, precision engineering so you have to be very careful in their composition and processing. Whereas a rocket, its just a tube, rocket goes out and does its thing, more expensive a munition but you don't have the technical hiccups in the west because, well they make it all.
>>
>>62137595
A war ends way before one side loses all of its tanks and artillery. I'd bet that tank numbers Russia can have in Ukraine at any given day has already peaked. Probably almost no good condition tanks left in storage and refurbishing bad condition ones takes time. The big number of golf cart and motorcycle assaults this year is a result of this already.
>>
>>62137595
Russia won't lose all of its tanks, the stockpiles are being more difficult to reactivate and replacing losses is increasingly difficult.

Also glide bombs can't replace all artillery, or if they try to they'll start having shortages too. Air strikes can only do so much anyway.

But yeah, it's not an easy victory for Ukraine and I'm happy cucked Biden is fucking off. Hopefully the lards move away from cucked muh escalation shit.

AT most they are supposed to have ~9000 artillery pieces left. At less than the loss rate for the last six months, lets say 40 guns a day they loose 1200 a month. They need 6000-7500 minimum to cover the 1000KM front in UKraine as their guns are shorter range and less accurate requiring a barrage from three guns to secure a decent chance of a hit where as something like Caesar Panzerhaubitze 2000 would pop it with one hit. You can now sit down and join us in watching the countdown to teh Russian military defeat because you can't fight in the open terrain in Ukraine without artillery, you can't defend (even minefields) and you can't attack. The only thing the Russians can do is press their aged air frames into the role of artillery and get them shit down or beg obsolete towed guns from north Korea, they have done both, confirming the situation.
Need
6000-7000
Have 9000
Loose 1200+ every 30 days
Do you understand? Unless something miraculous happens Russia has lost this war and not just the war but most of its conventional military if Putin does not surrender ('negotiate') and carries on. Ukraine is not even fielding its best gear like the F16s its just winning by having more accurate longer range artillery that is better crewed with better satellite and sigint and radars. They are destroying every radar Russia moves into Ukraine and Russias artillery reserves. Now you can watch with the rest of us to see if putin nooks this winter because his military is fucking over and his minefields and trenches useless if his artillery can't .hold zero'd sites to stop breaching.
>>
>>62137595
>endless supply of planes
Russia has lost over 1/4 or its airforce and 1/3 of its Air defense.and the only reason losses are not higher is Russia has kept what's left out of Ukraine. What's ;left is also not great, the usual story, old air frames with a lack of new engines. How many are still even flight worthy? well it won;t matter because its basically a suicide run against patriot batteries.

The T-80 was the 'Cadillac' of the USSR tank forces, well made, good to use and shooty enough shoots so its why they ended up in 1st Army and 4th Guards kind of forces for the important guys they needed to actually do something like hold off NATO forces piling across the border and blowing shit up on the plains.
T-72 is the Toyota Corolla of the USSR, easy, cheap to make, bit of a cunt to live with and mostly 'good enough'
It suffered a massive optical hit in the wars of the middle east were it became synonymous with being immolated by Abrams and Challengers so they needed a 'rebrand' with the T-90 which was actually a fairly substantial gun and a lot better turret, but the rest of it is still essentially T-72 chassis.

Also technically the T-62 is also in the T-80 linage as well, but its a bit distant enough to be sort of an ancestor and its really not a very good tank and the T-64 was sort of the 'unfucked' version of the 62

Russia is down 362/1379 aircraft,326/961 helicopters. There have been a lot of signs of desperation from Russia regarding parts for helicopters, trying to buy engines from abroad from state they sold them too etc. Russian places do not equal western planes, their jet turbines wear out three times faster due to poorer metallurgy, they have to be replaced three times as often and the base stock of Russia fighter and ground attack is essentially soviet era air frames that only lasted this long because Russia pilots get barely any flight time compared to western pilots. The Russian airforce can never act as a substitute for artillery, it can only act as a suicidal stop measure and there is not much left to do that with. The fun bit is airforces are the vital asset for dictatorships, the ace card for a dictators control of a nation as you saw in Syria.The FSB can't afford to loose what is left or their 80 year old grip on power in Russia is over..

>>62137742
Wrong. The T72 was build to be the cheap export version. The T64 was the 'better'; version. The T80 was the USSRs last gasp to try and make a modern tank and the main problem they have is they were build during an era when the working population making tonks in the USSR generally just stopped giving a shit. The better ones (like the T64) were made in Ukraine and stayed there, the exception being the ones on the Finnish border. There were so many problems with T80s that were sent to the wars in Chechnya that the Russian state reverted back to spraying go faster strips on a T72 and calling it a T90 to sell to jeets and trundle around in parades. So its not so much the T80 is a 'good' tank for 'elite' units as that it was the latest tank made when gommunism collapsed and the guards units always got the latest thing. Many of them were made to such abysmal standards they wound up in reserve depots because they can only run for 24 hours before something else falls off. The key point is teh T72 was NEVER intended to be the mainstay of the USSRs tank fleet, it was supposd to be a cheap disposable export variant and things went wrong for the USSR and Russia.

T-54 and 55's!
Which we have seen, but I mean its a stretch considering most of them got parted out and melted down a long old time ago. Shit if someone told me to go fix a 70 year old bulldozer or tractor with no parts and make it happen anyway... uh, no! It'd be a massive, awful amount of work to get it running, let alone a damn tank with barrel tolerances, optical systems older than anyone who ever worked on it and had been chewed on by siberian rodents/vatniks for however long for all its copper wiring
Just no
no no no no
>>
>>62137835
They were in use in very large numbers but not so much as tanks but makeshift artillery pieces when Russia had its first ammunition crisis because they still had munitions for the T54s main gun. The Russians also use tanks without engines as static AT pillboxes leaving only 1-2 rounds of ammunition with them

If I have 10 vehicles in a boneyard, and then a month later they are gone it does not mean that they have been destroyed, it means I moved 10 vehicles.

Or maybe they prefer the golfcarts to MTLB's, which is not surprising because the MTLB is a gun tractor not an APC.

They have lost 900 MTLB's, they had ~3000 in storage at the start of the war. Boneyards being devoid of MTLB's does not mean total MTLB death has occurred. Use your brain.

Correct it does not mean the removed vehicles are destroyed. It means enough have been destroyed in two years that the entire stock is necessary in order to repair or replace them, and that future losses will have to be made up for with inferior equipment (which, considering we are talking about a tractor forced into an APC role, is saying a lot)
>They have the initiative, they are advancing and they have the equipment stores to do this for at least another 18 months

It doesn't because the Russian army in Ukraine is growing.

We have a rough idea of their losses. We have a rough idea of how many MTLB's they have. The two numbers are very different.

>Tell me what composition you expect the Russian forces to have after 18 more months fighting at the current rate
According to Perun it would be roughly what they are using now and then it would be a sharp decline into older equipment.

Even if its a floor pre-war according to Covert Cabal they had 3000.

I don't see evidence of that, since the initial conscription surge it has been fairly steady state. Most reports indicate that losses and new inductees are proceeding essentially apace.

There are 1,200 losses on Oryx. You can't even misuse a number properly, what the fuck are you doing? I don't trust this "we" you speak of to speak for me or any intelligent observer.

Any intellectually honest observation of these figures requires both the understanding that Oryx is a minimum, and initial storage numbers are a maximum (many of those units, including those already pulled, will not be viable for anything but spare parts)

I feel sorry for the Ukrainians but am delighted at the Russians stupidity in staying in this war to be killed. Hung by their own folly in a state propaganda myth regarding their mystical power to survive attrition warfare. Every day there are more dead Russians and less liars, thieves, rapists and murderers in the world as a consequence. The world is sweeter better place with every day of combat in Ukraine to the measure of 1000 Russian lives and the inevitable harm, lying, theft, cruelty, rape and murder they would have done in their lives.
>>
>>62138240
a quick check shows me that Russia hit 500k on May 25th, so 2 months to lose another 70k~, not a bad pace all things considered and assuming it stays consistent we are looking at another 170-200k dead by the end of the year. So somewhere between 750k-800k. barring anything radical changing they'll hit the big 1mil by the middle of next year

Meanwhile Russian air sorties have dropped from a height of 350 in 2022 to being around 50-75 in 2024. Ukraine in 2022 was dealing with way more aerial bombs and artillery than they currently are facing, and meanwhile their glide bombs seem to be rather ineffective at moving the front.

No, here's whats going to absolutely fuck russia in this war.

Russia fires a shit ton of shells a day. The barrels on those guns get fucked up, and that screws up the accuracy to the point where it's actually pointless to fire the gun because it has a high chance of landing in your own lines and killing your soldiers.

Making artillery barrels takes a lot of work, and Russia has only two factories with the rotary forge machines that are necessary to make the modern barrels. Those particular machines were imported from austria. They can't make more of them because they only ever imported rotary forges from other countries. Durring ww2, the rotary forges were bought from america, so the making of those machines is (lost technology blyat).

Right now the ziggers are taking barrels from old howitzers, but they only had like 7500 of the barrels, and there's about 4800 left.

No barrels, no artillery, no war.
>>
>>62137686

RoK number based on radar returns. Alot of it is probably small craft (think AN-2s) doing short hops for officials or things like helicopters being used for construction but they do maintain naval patrols and usually have a few Migs in the air.

It isn't a very high number compared to their number of aircraft, their Airforce is actually pretty big even if everything is so old but they have alot of stuff like old prop fighters and even biplanes they use for training that use alot less fuel than a jet does. A squadron of AN-2s could probably fly all day for the amount of fuel a Mig-29 uses in a single sorty.

Gotta add the pieces that need replacement from wear and tear (and nork ammo mishaps) to that too. Which is hard to say how high that number is. Artillery is certainly the one area that looks the most dire for Russia.

I've heard this claim before, but then how do you explain his amazing coincidence where Ukrainian MoD numbers reached 10k destroyed arty pieces at about the same time satellite photos showed roughly 10k units removed from storage. Almost as if the numbers were largely accurate.
There might be an error bar of 10-20% here, but even that would not change the situation much. Russia is utterly fucked.

Not anymore, and they keep getting closer every day. At a rate proportionally far exceeding that of Ukrainian losses, wether in men, equipment or ground.
