The way the EU just decided to sacrifice itself for USA's proxy war is mind boggling. The EU is in recession now, EU industries depend on Russian cheap oil and gaz, those industries are dying now...
As a citizen of a EU country, I can only cry.

Prigoghin is an idiot, stop listening to his rantings against the Russian military command which he hates and competes with.
I don't understand why prigoghin has not been arrested yet, eventhough he's a civilian, he's too close to the military to be doing all this.

is like you guys understimate China a lot.

You are wrong by saying that it will take China 3 decades to catch up to the level of Us and Russia.

China has tested and launch their hypersonic missile successful while the Us hypersonic program is still failing.

Gbadebo19:
You are right but the problem is that china and Russia have limited submarines plus the fact that US knows the exact location of their submarines anytime anyday. I got this info too:

The aircraft carrier is vulnerable to gunfire, submarine attack, and air attack, and aircraft carriers have been sunk in this war by all three of these means. There is no excuse for an aircraft carrier being sunk by either gunfire or submarine attack and any carrier so sunk was being very poorly operated at the time

All these your stories sef

Remember Russia ordered 4 Helicopter carriers / Mistral warships from France in 2010 but US put pressure on France to stop the deal when France was ready to deliver two of the four warships after Russia annexed Crimea. It was Egypt that later bought those warships and France had to reimburse Russia.

If we should go by all these your analogies Russia would not have ordered those ships for the fear that France could place backdoor on them. Russia sourcing components abroad for it defence industry is not a big deal US does that too no country is an Island. This war is not worth it, it is affecting Russia though Russia won't go down as the West had hoped. Anyone who supports Russia might pretend those sanctions aren't having impact. I love Russia too but I must be factual.

US fields over 200 F22 Raptor, Over 500 f35.
China Fields over 220 J-20.
Russia fields just 11 SU-57

Russia that ought to continue its military modernization is now distracted by war in Ukraine that has no end in sight. If care is not taken China would climb up the ladder and topple Russia as the 2nd most powerful military in the world.

I still dnt get d fuse about this leopard 2 tanks, why is everyone waiting to see them. Is it because of its speed, or d laser or d fact dat u can use it at night. All this doesn't make it any special from been destroyed by Russia, unless its immune from bombs

That's true because we have seen reports where leopard tanks where blown by land mines don't know which other tanks his talking about US owned Abram tanks or which. From what we are seeing right from day 1 Ukraine engaged there most advance equipment . i can see pro US masturbating on this , Ukraine shouldn't rush in pushing all its military tools yet is a trap d more Russian give up some positions d more Ukrainian military and equipment day loose

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The enemy has not yet thrown tank wedges into battle: a serious threat of a powerful offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine remains

This was stated by Dmitry Rogozin, who is at the front with a group of military advisers.

“I do not share the joyful reports about the “defeat of the enemy”.
Yes, we repulsed the first attack. Yes, well done. But the enemy has not yet introduced the main forces of the breakthrough, primarily large tank wedges, has not driven them into our forward positions. And they are only in the vicinity of Orekhov in the most tank-dangerous direction - about 600 tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, not counting the infantry fighting vehicles.

Therefore, it is too early to rejoice, gentlemen. First, let's win, and only then we will "throw caps into the air."

The 🇪🇺 EU is worried that there will be disruptions in transit.

Hungary's MOL Magyar Olajes Gazipari Nyrt, the main buyer in 🇭🇺 Hungary and 🇸🇰 Slovakia will buy about 900,000 tons, up from 750,000 in May.

The Unipetrol refinery in the Czech Republic also plans to increase purchases.

Blinken could not made Saudi sanctions Russia and stop Iran from reopening its embassy in Saudi.

USA tried to make Saudi supply more oil to market to cut off Russia oil but instead Saudi will be cut more oil output and increase buying of Russia oil and Saudi will be increasing the price of oil sells to USA for first time in years.

⚡Europe will pay 10 times more for sanctions against 🇷🇺 Russia than for supporting Ukraine. Josep Borrell, head of the 🇪🇺 EU foreign policy service stated this.

"The average amount of support European governments have had to pay to help their families and businesses cope with high electricity and food prices is 700 billion - more than ten times more than support for 🇺🇦 Ukraine," Borrell told a security conference Shangri-La Dialogue in 🇸🇬 Singapore.

Shoodboi:
There is no way Russia would have higher losses than Ukraine. It is impossible. Ukraine has higher losses in terms of personnel and equipment losses. It was a few months ago that the lady that leads the EU revealed that Ukraine had suffered over 100k casualties. That was the moment Western media switched from claiming "Russia is losing" to "Russia is fighting a war of attrition and both sides are losing".

As you correctly stated, the rule says the attacking force needs 3x more troops than the defender, if both armies are equal. But the figure could be reduced if one side is more powerful. Russia is the more powerful force here. Ukraine has lost the bulk of its navy, armor, and all of its air force. It currently relies on "defensive" weapons like anti-tanks rockets and manpads to counter Russia's offensive weapons like tanks and aircraft.

At this point, Ukraine easily has over a million troops in the war. It was like 600k before the war but they heavily mobilized. The numbers soon gave it an edge over Russia's 150k troops, which forced Russia to mobilize another 300k. Those 300k are not fighting. They're only used in defensive and rear roles to erode whatever advantage Ukraine got/will get from the massive mobilization.

That said, casualties are based on one thing only, which is firepower. The more powerful side has more firepower and can attack from longer ranges. This results in lesser casualties for the powerful side and more casualties for the weaker side.

But this strength factor can be affected by one other thing, which is "Who is attacking?" Let us assume the stronger side has 1 casualty for every 10 on the weaker side. When the stronger side is attacking, its casualties can easily go up to 2 for every 10 soldiers killed on the weaker die. If the weaker side is attacking, its casualty can easily go up to 15 soldiers for every one killed on the stronger side.

Now, you will be wondering, how is Russia still in the war despite being outnumbered by Ukraine?

It is because Russia prevents Ukraine from using its large army to its advantage. If you look at maps from this war, you will notice that Russia isolates battlefields. When it attacks an area/city, It blocks the flanks (sides) and then enters from the middle. Think of it as Russia drawing a letter U around a city. Ukraine can only send in reinforcements and resupply the battlefield using the open gap at the top of the U.

That is hard for Ukraine as Russia monitors the roads leading to that open gap and uses long range missiles, kamikaze drones, aircraft, and artillery to destroy any Ukrainian resupplies and reinforcements its spots.

The weird thing is that the strongest Russian units are the ones responsible for blocking the flanks. They are rarely deployed into the city to do the actual fighting.

We saw this happen in Bakhmut where Russia used its powerful armored units and the elite VDV to cover the flanks while Wagner entered the city. The same happened in Mariupol where Russian armored units, Marines, and VDV units covered the flanks while the Chechens entered the city. It also happened in Luhansk where Russian Marines, VDV, and armor covered the flanks while the Luhansk People's Republic and Chechens and Russian infantry soldiers did the fighting. Even the elite 1 Tank Army, which is responsible for protecting Moscow, was deployed to cover the flanks in Luhansk.

Mind you, the Wagnerians, Chechens, and Russian infantry fighting inside the city were outnumbered but they didn't have to bother about being attacked from the flanks, so they were able to focus on the battle. They had had heavy firepower too - way more than what Ukraine has. At the same time, the Ukrainians in the city had to put the Russians in the flanks into consideration cos they're even more powerful than the ones they were fighting with inside the city.

So how can Ukraine counter this?

Interestingly, the only way Ukraine could have won or at least prevented its destruction in Mariupol, Luhansk, and recently, Bakhmut, was not to focus on attacking the Chechens, Wagner, and Russian units inside the city but to focus on attacking the powerful forces protecting the flanks.

If those powerful units fall, the ones inside the city (Wagner, Chechen, and the Russian motorized infantries) will retreat. This was why the Wagner commander was shouting and fighting with the Russian general staff weeks ago. It wasn't because he wasn't been supplied as he claimed. It was because the Russian general staff planned to, and later withdrew the VDV from the flanks and sent in motorized infantry units as replacements. Motorized infantry is no match for mechanized infantry or armor.
