    Could you elaborate a bit on the great reset and what it means going forward?

    The great reset is the new world order, where fascists can recolonize smaller independent nations.
    Here, Russian fascism has an official symbol:

    Bear in mind, there is no Latin Z in Cyrillic. ;)

    Current loss rates for Russian vehicles is still averaging 60-70 a day. Supply vehicles are a priority target and Russian forces entered the war with a shortage of these to begin with. If this continues in about a week that will be aprox 3000 military vehicles of all types out of commission. And these loses are from Russia's best equipment. Manpower losses (KIA) are estimated to be somewhere in the 7-8 thousand range. Applying to 3 x rule that means total casualties are approaching 30 thousand or roughly 20% of the force initially committed.

    While many of the wounded will, over time be able to return to active duty others will not. This means casualties will be taking their own personal (and realistic takes on the war back home with them to Russia.) These men will almost certainly need to be quarantined from their families.

    Importantly the vast majority of these losses are still being inflicted on Russia's best/front line units. Intelligence reports indicate Russia is also currently drawing upon the last of these front line units from other theaters to fill the gaps. (Some units are located in key positions like Kaliningrad etc and can't easily be drawn upon.)

    Once these last units have been committed (over the next couple of weeks or so at most) reserve units manned for the most part by conscripts will be required to fill any gaps. That and reservists who will be called back to duty. Either way more time will be required to bring these units up to some resemblance of readiness. Its either that or commit them raw.

    I look at this forum and wonder: do you seriously think that the West does not manipulate the opinion of its voters? If so, I have bad news for you.
    unfortunately your LASER cannot fire on a ballistic trajectory. It does not work well in heavy clouds, quickly fails in dusty areas, and use in a thunderstorm is dangerous for the laser itself. You'd better show off Gauss guns.
    you write some nonsense. You do not understand what is happening in Russia. Putin's support is over 70%. People know and understand what is happening.

    Nazis from "Azov" and special forces of the main intelligence department of Ukraine blew up another bridge
    The destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure has become the most successful type of operation by Ukrainian security forces and gangs over the past three weeks.

    Wow! Twice!? I hope both times to death? :-D
    of course of course. Just calm down. It is only America that can attack sovereign countries and destroy their inhabitants.

    don't worry, this video is not available in my country either. and I'm 100% writing from Russia.... looked out the window... it's snowing. Yes, definitely from Russia.
    Ukraine will not have a sea. This payment for anti-Russian aggression for many years.
    Yes Yes. Very bad. Russia is retreating on all fronts...from day to day Ukraine will take Moscow...
    really... Let's masturbate to the Javelins!
    yes, yes ... Javelins! Many! :-D
    What you see is not an explosion, but a shock wave. At this speed, the projectile enters deep into the ground and if there is a void (cave) there, an explosion occurs inside.

    I heard a lot that America is a free and fair country where everyone has equal opportunities... ;-)
    it should also be excluded from the Latin alphabet ... you call it a fascist symbol ;-)

    I think it is even worse.
    The NATO estimate, 1 week old, is 8000 KIA, 1 KIA = 4-5 wounded, not just 3.. Especially in a war zone with a lot of tanks and artillery.
    Today it is probably 10,000 KIA, which means 40 to 50,000 wounded. Opposite to Western Amies, the Russian Army is very low on Sani, medvac and son on. Some of their battle groups do not have dedicated medvac outfits. Survival of the wounded depends on how fast you can get them out and to quality care..
    Battle field death is one thing, but than you have the wounded, their survival depends how fast they can receive expert care.
    I would add 10K to the casualty list.
    Equipment, it does not have to be destroyed to count. The loss of equipment to mechanical failures on the road is far greater. The roads in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine are littered with Russian equipment, which broke down. Thousands of them.
    From supply trucks, which are more important than a tank, to tanks, large tracked artillery and rocket launchers, you name it.
    The Ukrainian Farmers Brigade are having fun with them.

    My opinion only 50% of the ground forces which attacked are still operational, because of equipment failure.
    Same for the air force, we know from Syria that the air force managed only a 50% readiness status. Wich is dismal, at best.

    It is my opinion that the losses of the Russian are greatly underestimated.

    The work of TOS-1A "Sunheat" on the positions of the Ukrainian military.

    Unfortunately, from the other side - where the missiles hit, there will be no one to shoot the video :-(
    I want to see the result

    Context is where is matters.
    A Russian displaying letter Z is fascism. A letter Z in a word zoo is not.

    Russia's war aim was to bind Ukraine to Russia. Instead, the Ukrainians have created their national epic and become eternal enemies of Russia. Russia has already lost the war.

    you are completely off topic. Ukraine has been brought up to hate Russia for many decades. Ukraine already considered Russia its enemy.
    The purpose of the military operation is to disarm Ukraine. Destroy nationalism. Stop any opportunity to continue killing people in the Donbass.

    So your solution is to kill them until they stop hating you?

    You have no power and no right to "disarm" another country, no matter how you think its citizens feel about your country.

    I think the Soviets under Stalin did their best to create that hate.

    How many millions did Stalin starve to death. Apparently they have not forgot and know what Russia would do to them, again, with Putler at the helm.
    That's the reason they fight and want to destroy the Russian Army.
    My guess they will do so. This will be Russia's Barbarossa.

    Ukrainian Air Force shot down 3 helicopters today.
    They noted a significant decrease in the presence of Russian fighter jets in Ukrainian skies today.
    Hopefully that’s a good sign.

    Probably isn't. Not with new missiles being used and Kyiv being hit harder than ever. I expect the Russians are looking to do more damage with fewer losses, and that will mean holding back on expensive, vulnerable aircraft.

    If I'm right, though, then either they'll be using drones more to help their ground forces or leaving them more vulnerable.

    I actually overstated the vehicle losses in my answer above . (Should have typed 2000 not 3000.) But the thing is that 2000 figure is combat losses. It doesn't take into account vehicles still in Russian possession but inoperable due to a lack of maintenance or spare parts etc. And all the evidence to date points to poor maintenance being a systemic issue across the Russian army. So that means on any one day you can probably add at least as many vehicles again to the above total as being off line pending repair. And importantly after three and half weeks the there's zero sign of the loss rate decreasing. God only knows what the Russian's will have left to field after another 6 weeks or so of fighting. They'll be reduced to pulling out mothballed equipment that hasn't seen the light of day since Gorbachev was in power!

    If they really are trying to prevent loss of equipment then they can only use ballistic or cruise missiles. They don’t really have combat drones.
    That’s a good sign - while they can still hit targets from a distance, they can’t properly support their troops. There are only so many of these missiles they have in stock.
