Russian special military operation in Ukraine #37

Chinese intelligence services believe that the losses of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine have not yet exceeded 200 thousand people, of which 110 thousand were killed.
The current 8th wave of mobilization in Ukraine will bring together 100-120 thousand people but won't be the last

The number of casualties reported by Zaluzhny to the #Pentagon and #NATO headquarters is 232,000 killed and 129,000 seriously wounded.
According to the private company Stratfor Forecasting, the irretrievable losses of Ukraine exceeded 410,000 people, of which 305,000 were killed.

NOTE: not sure of the sources but interesting numbers.

PS; noticed another article on this 200:800 trade. Apparently it is for the seriously wounded POW's on both sides.

There is something behind those numbers.
Yesterday Hungarian officials openly commented on the forceful recruitment carried out among the Hungarian-speaking minority to cover the losses.
Those people didn't run away for nothing. And don't dress the ladies' clothes for nothing. And there is a reason why they need to drag the people to the VANs directly out of the streets, like fukin kidnapers.
This whole shitty comedian show is closing to an end.

Russians have good AP ammo but the newest models...are they wide spread? the problem when western tanks arrive old type of AP might be not good enough. Or am I wrong?
I would not also overestimate donated tanks as Russian choppers can decimate them without even using armored units.





WEF domme Baerbock wont eat bugs, we will. She'll enjoy good vine and real meat. Grass fed beef. Bugs are for common people

There is something very interesting as a backgroud for any analysis.

Here are the numbers of engines that are already ordered and set for delivery till 2030. That is only 7 year perspective, remind you :

PD-14 - 584

PD-8 - 314

TV7-117ST-01/02 - 440

VK-650V - 826

VK-1600V - 231

Count together with TV7-117V, PS-90A, VK-2500, then you get a total of 5000 aircraft engines ...

Already in 2024, it is planned to produce more than 600 aircraft engines in Russia, and from 2029 to reach 650-660 aircraft engines per year.

And this is not counting the NK-32-02 for the Tu-160M2, NK-12MVM for the Tu-95MSM, RF Product for the PAK DA, AI-222-25 for the Yak-130, VK-800SM for the LMS-901, L- 410M and UTS-800, industrial units based on aircraft engines - PS-90GP, PD-14GP-1 / GP-2, as well as tens of thousands of small turbojet engines TRDD 37-01, TRDD-50A for our "Kalibr",    X -101 etc.

The other observation : T-90Ms.
Materials showing them became notorious. Model is already wide spread among the ranks, and - what somebody already noticed today if I remember - we can hardly spot old tanks anymore.
It looks like the old models like 64s, 72Bs etc, are gradually being replaced by 72B3/B3M, including the latest mods.
Today some new materials were revealed, showing brand new modification of 72B3M called "mod. 2022".

That is a real picture of the real economy and industry.
The thing is simply devastating.
Russkie are producing new tanks at a rate higher than NATO is capable to take out of the storage old crap they have there hidden for decades.
And that applies to every single position down the list. Missiles, planes, tanks, APCs ...
Not sure if you have seen a material from BTR-82A production line ... A whole cadre was filled with new&shiny pieces, in four or five rows, dozens in each of them. Just a random photo showing ... about 100 pcs? Ready to go?

Comms how the NATO will supply 10, 20 or 30 tanks by the end of a year can be consider as a comedy show only.
Mighty Murica cant supply 30 tanks for several months?
Really?!?

I would not also overestimate donated tanks as Russian choppers can decimate them without even using armored units.

Both T90A and 72B3 have new autoloaders with new high energy ammo.
You can easily spot the difference on the loader control box :

Here is it on T-72A/M (Polish made tanks has it even more primitive)


You can see the markings O - oskolichny, B - bronieboyny and K - kumulativny.
For 72B, one more position was added, that was "P" for "PTUR" - protivtankovaya upravlienna rakieta. Autoloader was changed as well, because the 9M119 missile is 695mm long. This was done by reducing the diameter of a central hub.


And here it is with 1A-40-4 FCS


Two brand new markings are there, adding two new types of ammunition : U and UN. I can only guess that "U" is for "udlinnaya", elonged in English, but zero clue for "UN". Probably some different type of longer APDS, with a different mass parameters. But that is my guess only.

Today I learned that Russia is as much a service economy as the EU, but smaller in PPP compared to the entire EU. Also the russian manufacturing percentage of the economy is about as much as the west. China, South korea, and  Japan far outperform it in high technology manufacturing sector percentage of GDP PPP. Russia differs from the west in having a larger extraction sector. You can see this lag from china, SK, germany, france and japan with the fact that russian manufacturing barely uses industrial robots, still relying on humans for their production lines to operate machinery and fit components.

How would russia on war footing hope to compete with 0 domestic competency and proliferation in roboticized production lines for aircraft, jet engines, automobiles, etc compared to the west in war footing?

Hai Guys.
Today I learnt from my favourite sources reason number 7365285 why I think Russia cannot win compared to ze West.
I thought I would quickly share it here with you.
Totally legit concerns, no agenda.
Promise.
I will present it as a question for you guys.
Thnx Bai.

Proove to me that lacking industrial robots is totally a nothingburger. Also currently the russian industry is doing well, despite of this. The The western heavy manufacturing industry is smaller but it has the potential to be to far larger because the combined west has far superior industrial machinery compared to russia whose industry was destroyed by capitalism. For example the irkut aviation plant uses mostly german heavy machinery.

Triumphalism is fucking retarded. But given westerners are hysterical overcredulous retards on both sides, thats expected. People who masturvate about supposed russian industrial perfection are the same types who masturbate about western tanks tirnong the tide

As a slav I respect communist chinese more since they arent bombastic, dont promote useless religious bullshit, dont brag about their beautiful empowered women, making commercials about how westerners should move in to marry them, dont do shitty PR stunts like building massive churches, dont say "net analogov v mire", dont focus monetarily on useless james bond nuclear tsunami weapons and dont focus around useless machismo in statecraft and military culture.

@Gunship Democracy: people do eat bugs a lot in traditional cuisine, for example the (in)famous silkworm pupae. It is quite delicious if you know how to make it.

Crickets are also speciality rural foods in certain countries. I tried it once, the meat tastes similar to shrimp.

@limb
Are you on drugs? If you want to post your random thoughts, write a blog.

The heights are under russian control

The guy thinks Russia doesn't have automated structures and robotics used in manufacturing.

This trolling is against forum rules.

Where is Russia on this chart then, big brain?

And yet the Russians are drowning NATO in war material with an economy that is barely mobilized.

Apparently some drunk vatnik from Nizhny Tagil is more productive than the most sophisticated robotic complexes German engineering can devise - who knew?

Isos wrote " Impressive. Like training practice. " Did the Tank columns meet accidentally ? Someone wrote on T90 topic that there are so many different rounds for this Tank . Some for use against buildings etc , tube-launched missiles . If a Tanks drives through the countryside , and meets up with a Tree or Hedge , and is stopped by it , then should we manufacture Trees or Hedges  as anti-Tank devices ? No , I hear you say ! Yet the Germans during ww2 , used exactly this tactic in France , to slow down or stop the allied advance . They may have even allowed the Hedges to grow taller .

The is no question that a Tree or Hedge or a Tank , can slow down or stop another Tank . But is this the most efficient method ? We live now in the age of missiles and satellites . A Tank or other vehicle can be destroyed far easier by new methods . How much does Chrysanthemum cost , compared to MBT ? Therefore with all respect to all Tankers , their time is passing . The NATO package , should be taken care , by modern method .

Alright I am curious, what air defenses is Russia using in this operation, obviously MANPADS is one of them when they were used to shoot down a su-24 8kms away.
