Today the official killed / missing in action figure for the Ruzzian army has reached half a million. Figures in war tend to be only estimates, but it is still a dam big estimate.
Even if that figure is true - and maybe especially if that figure is true - then the estimate of 6 or 7 dead Ukrainians for every dead Russian holds some water, as well. Ukraine is simply lost. No two ways about it.
Even if Ukraine won the actual war, Russia wouldn't really lose. There isn't any Ukraine left, except for the name.
Why 6 or 7?... You need to lie much bigger... say 20 or 30. You do not justify anything... so why not?
Oh, quit talking so silly... 20 or 30. There aren't that many people in Ukraine to say nothing about that many troops. And especially now that most of the Ukrainians have migrated elsewhere... especially to Russia.
Yes there are 30 million in Ukraine, so go for 20 x times, you still got 20 million for your next post. And why say Ruzzia, when you could say that all of them are going to Iran? You know, you just have to say thing, no need for any proof... go big! Think big!
These figures can be much higher because Russia is doing all in its power to lower the numbers. (not that Ukraine isn't trying to lower theirs). I've seen captured Russian soldiers admit that they're hiding losses from the command by borrowing soldiers between units. The way it works there's a unit of let's say 200 people. Commanders agree that one of them will borrow 50 people and send them to another town to do something, for instance clear a mine field. If they die the unit is still there on paper. They report that 25% was sent to another command and that's it. On paper they're still there in that other unit clearing mines. In reality they're dead. In fact there are dead divisions that still "fight" and hold the line somewhere, but there's only 10% of them still fighting.
I do not say that Ukraine is going or is providing accurate figures. I am just saying that Ruzzia has spent lost of people for very little gain. Ukraine is simply defending.
