  • G'day Legends, I hope you're doing well,
    Today we talk about the Russia's offensive and look at the war map updates.
    If you're new here thanks for coming across, I served in the Australian Infantry from 2014-2021, With specialist qualifications in Heavy Weapons/Anti-Armour, Combat First Aid, With a tour to Afghanistan as a crew commander of a Armoured Mobility Vehicle.
    Upon my Return I was unexpectedly diagnosed with a Incurable and Inoperable Brain tumour that is slowly killing me. I was also awarded the Queens Order of Australia Medal (OAM) hence the post nominals after my name. Then Being medically separated from the Army I flew to Ukraine in 2022 for 6.5months and now make content full time. I really appreciate you being here Thankyou

    Regarding the end piece from Deep state that brings light to MAJOR issues around Avdiivka.
    Failures and systemic issues like this will be ignored by the bloggers who've found relevance and wealth from this conflict pushing the 'Everything is fine' narrative, even if that is counter productive to the boys at the front... Who apparently they support...

      When someone speaks fast to try to cram in a lot of information, they're usually full of 💩while trying to hide something. It's no different than those commercials that try to sell you something, then at the end, there's that disclaimer that's sped up that nobody can understand. Smart people speak clear and concise so that their audience can digest the information.

      Its pretty simple. Lets say you and a buddy get in a fight with another 2 guys. Your buddy gets knocked out and one of your opponents also gets knocked out. You see 8 more opponents coming down the street. If you call your friends and say "Hey I want 15 guys down here to help" it doesn't mean you lost 15 you just want overmatch or to equal the enemy. They counted 51k that doesn't mean that is all they lost but it doesn't mean its 1/10th either.

      Ha-ha that is hilarious. And exactly how many graves with soldiers since 2014 did you see? Can you estimate how much space 750 funerals take in one cemetery. If all you see are the flags - then how many did you see? Eye estimations of pictures of cemeteries - cmon a little professionalism would be a nice thing. Exact numbers are impossible. When an AFV with 8 Russians inside and 7 on top gets hit by 3 fpv drones - how many dead, how many wounded, how many unharmed? In some places the Ukrainian drone-pilots hunt down every single soldier that tries to escape from a broken vehicle and sometimes they don't. On the Ukrainian side reported numbers from the frontline are estimations and from the Russian side - unknown and if they say something it is always lies. Even after real scholars have received access to the military records, their results will not produce exact numbers. Simplest conclusion with a few grains of realism in it - Russian soldiers have died like flies since the war begun because the military don't care much and on the Ukrainian side many times less soldiers have died because they think it is a tragedy when every single one dies. That is why they never sit and wait for Russias old tactical bombardments of an area. The retreat and then they counter... and so on. They don't mind to loose 100 meter of ground if they can kill 1000 Russians for it.

      Well Ukrainian meat was met by Russian shells, missiles, drones and air strikes. Many Ukrainians died without ever seeing a Russian with their own eyes. The same story comes from all the western mercs that came and went. They talk of wanting to help, but the AFU was such a disorganised mess they ended up leaving again once they saw how hopeless the situation at the front was. 😊

    On Colonel Daniel Davis' YT(Deep Dave) channel, who interviews ex. senior US military and ex. CIA analysts and many others with knowledge on the subject. Some of these in interviews are with Colonel Jacques Baud who worked on a NATO mission in Ukraine for a few years. Baud has also worked with several UN missions. In one of these YTs they go through how the conflict started and in another about Russian military strategy which showed that NATO is far behind in that particular area. To mention one detail briefly, it's not about conquering territory, it's about destroying as many enemies as possible with the least possible losses. It explains that the kill ratio is 1 to 5 in Russian favor still, about the same as the leaked Pentagon documents in 2023.
    Think that if NATO did not oppose the Minsk agreement or the peace draft in Istanbul in 2022, there would have been peace in Ukraine and over 600,000 Ukrainian soldiers would have been alive today.
    This may partly explain why Ukraine has a shortage of military personnel today.

One side is using hundreds of gliding guided bombs daily, dozens of lancet strikes, LMUR missiles- daily, MLRS flame throwers- all time, close support aviation and strike helicopters, artillery and mine launchers of all sizes. Just guiding bombs would give about 500 killed per day, flame throwers and other artillery- another 300, Aviation - may be 20- 30 per day, close combats- lets say 30- so roughly about 1000 per day- minimum!!! - 300 000 per year!!- and it's 3- rd year!!!- and that is a lower estimation.

      Slow down - glide bombs (at least 500kg) only become widespread about since october 2023 and mainly used against strongpoints. LMUR is scarcely used untill now - more like field testing. And heavy equipment used to bombard wast areas can hit only as many people as there were - if there 30 people in trench network, you will not get 150 bodies even using TOS.

      They are mining their Western borders to prevent males from escaping, constantly lowering and increasing age of conscription, beating and dragging young men to military service, removing all requirements for foreign volunteers (before you needed military/police experience, now just need to pass fitness test and have no mental illness.), asking Western nations to deport Ukrainian males back to Ukraine.
      They had close to 400k troops pre-2022 due to the civil war. They apparently conscripted 1.4 million more troops after 2022. Z was boasting about his million man army.
      Where are all these troops? Where is the million man army?
      According to the Western media, Ukraine only lost 30,000 troops. I need to know where the other 1.37 million of them are hiding.

    "According to our calculations, the Ukrainian army loses about 50,000 people a month. But these are sanitary and irretrievable losses. Both. Although they are irrevocable and sanitary, about 50x50," Putin said at a meeting with the editors-in-chief of foreign news agencies at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum.
    According to him, the ratio of irretrievable losses of the Russian Federation and Ukraine is about one in five.
    "If that's all you're interested in, I can say that, as a rule, no one ever talks about it at all. And if they do, then, as a rule, they distort the real figures," Putin said at a meeting with the editors-in-chief of foreign news agencies, answering a relevant question.
    "I can tell you with complete confidence that our losses, especially if it concerns, unfortunately, irreparable losses, they are certainly several times less than on the Ukrainian side," Putin said.

    Russia recruiting in Africa - here is another take. Putin wants locals to be part of the Russian forces down there. They offer full regular army and Russian passport, so they break then out of local affiliations. Until we know those are sent to the frontline in significant number - I would not throw away that Russia is just trying to be sensibly with forces in the bases they build up there. The US has relied on locals repeatedly - but mostly betrayed them and never offered them passports en mass.

And these are just low estimate averages.
    You could assume that the Russian's are taking similar losses. Even though they have the numbers advantage, this isn't an Asymetric war, its fucking bloody on both sides. So we have a modest estimate of 2k white christian Slavs dying every day.

    Also important to keep in mind that military units have historically been peopled by convicts. The British Army is a prime example, as Wellington noted ("the scum of the earth"--most recruits; those who were not pressganged, were poor 18-20 year olds or criminals). Max Hastings infamously claimed that much of the Canadian Army before conscription in WW2 was composed of convicts, especially American convicts (much like the Americans who are escaping prosecution now by fighting for Russia). Why? Simple: dying is bad, so nations kill the poor and criminals first, before conscript soldiers.

    It’s not wounded. I know some of you don’t do math, but I do. And the mathematics were talking about her actually pretty basic. The BBC can’t count the dead because it’s a criminal offense to disclose or publish that information. We know by the fact that Ukraine admitted to having 25,000 amputees in September 2023 they cannot have any less than 250,000 killed an action as of September 2023. That’s based on the ratio the United States had in the Vietnam war, but Ukraine lacks helicopter evacuation, and so their ratio of killed to amputee is going to be significantly higher. There is absolutely no way that their battlefield medicine is equal to Americas in Vietnam.
    Ukraine would not be drafting another 300,000 men with an army of just 450,000 now if they had suffered only 50,000 dead. I know that you’re trying to be neutral and that you can’t tell the truth unless you want to lose the Ukraine fanboys, but you really should anyway. The BBCs numbers are statistically implausible.
    There has never been an artillery war at any point in history in which the side with 10 times less firepower inflicted more casualties. It’s a joke.
