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.
