    If you seriously believe that 87% of russian troops have been lost you need to take a long hard look at why you think that’s true. Like think about it, if theyve lost that many troops then why haven’t the battle lines shifted in any meaningful way basically all year ? Why is there no outrage and overflowing graveyards, or increased mobilization in Russia if thats the case ?

    Seriously like whatever side of the conflict you’re on aside, if you want any intellectual credibility you gotta think about that one

      Deployed troops, not troop reserves. The estimates are fairly accurate and have been fact checked by multiple intelligence groups. There’s burn pits for the bodies of dead Russians, don’t exactly need a graveyard when they go up in smoke.

        Source: “intelligence agencies” that you don’t even name or provide a link to

        Evidence: it’s all been burned and so doesn’t exist. The fact the evidence doesn’t exist is proof that it’s true.

        Just google it bro

          The 87% is from the US latest estimate of 315,000 casualties. This lines up fairly well with Ukrainian reports, as well as UK, and AUS reports. Fortunately burn pits are hard to hide from satellite imagery.

              Unfortunately my access to these images is limited due to the sensitive nature of the military optics involved, however in the future, the ICC will judiciate these war crimes, and the evidence will likely see public eyes.

                So what you’re saying is that some people claim there are photos? Then the evidence isn’t photos but testimony until those photos are produced
