Something about the smug announcement of how efficient the proxy war is chills my blood. :doomer:

    Only half? What a putin bot, I've heard from hardcore NATO sources it's at least 75% which is why Ukraine is about to conquer Crimea

        no, no, russians do exist, because ukrainians had to make more so they could kill more.

        by the time ukraine wins, there'll be a trillion russians.

      It's definitely not half. These figures are the most embellished ones that come from Ukraine itself, they lie.

      Ukrainian losses are likely around 100k and Russian losses are probably similar but slightly below.

      This represents somewhere between 6-10% of the total Russian military.

      And it's definitely not 6% of the military budget. Doesn't include existing stockpiles given to them, which have sometimes been taken directly out of the hands of US units (several publicly complained about having things like missiles they need to operate as an effective unit taken) and it does not include all the ongoing support being provided. The US is basically all of Ukraine's intelligence and massive quantities of money and resources go into maintaining that.

      Libs are full of shit.

        similar but slightly below

        that Mossad estimate had Russian losses at about 1/6th of the Ukrainians iirc

          If that turns out true then it's like 2%
