I mean losing 5% of your military (not saying they lost 5% necessarily) is a pretty big fucking deal. Couple that with sanctions and what seems to be a growing anti-war sentiment back home... I think he's got maybe another month or two til pressure is so great he's gotta dip out. And I think Ukraine can hold out that long.
5% of their deployed forces. They only deployed 10-15% of their total military. So they have lost 0.5-0.75% of their military power, and none of their best stuff.
Also that 5% that has been removed from battle isn’t necessarily dead, it would also include all damaged vehicles and injuries.
I thought the Ghost of Kyiv destroyed their airforce and the Orca of Odessa sank their entire fleet?
Also, it’s the fucking pentagon. If they’re saying Russia lost 5%, then the actual number is like 2-4%

I will say, that's a lot less than I thought. I thought 5% sounded high, but I would've guessed like 2-3%
Losing 5% of your military is well within the scope of acceptable loses. I'm told that in a "Real" war, which this certainly is not, losing 30% of your troops to achieve an objective is considered acceptable. In a pitched war between near parity powers like the US and China you'd probably be looking at losing more than 100% of your military personnel over the course of the war, meaning everyone in the infantry is either crippled or killed and gets replaced by fresh troops.
Spoken Ukrainian overlaps 75% with spoken Russian. Even if they do decide to annex all of Ukraine it won't be like the US blundering around in Afghanistan. It's more like Chicago invading and occupying Indiana.
