I don’t think the UAVs are those kind of drones.
Boyachi
Who is in charge of inventory? Loss prevention needs to step in. That is a lot to simply misplace.
Becker37
Lives on both sides forever lost. Lives everywhere taken away because of bullshit. What a waste. How beautiful we could be but just aren't
nameofnick
Does that include the ones broken down/abandoned/out right stolen or just destroyed?
HolyAaron
What about 3 billion is cost of lost weapons
anitabieror6
go ukraine! get that partridge in a pear tree!
sardonislamir
Fucking loss of human life for no reason...
BarfMonger
Ukraine has a pretty good reason I would say. Putin on the other hand owns all the death.
copingcabana
Ukraine should export the POWs to somewhere they cannot be liberated by Russia. Germany, maybe?
keepmincognito
Where does Intel like that come from?
BarfMonger
Lots of sources combined and then an educated guess.
FunkyWombat
Are they counting the yacht that one dude sank? If not, they should.
UngratefulColonial
No, it doesn't count the yacht the one dude sank. However, the one dude is my absolute hero.
RockKickass
Russia doesn’t have refineries worth a shit so I don’t know how they’re going to fuel up from here out
BarfMonger
Or effective logistics to move it. Also doesn't look like they have though much about securing their supply lines. Hope that is reality.
DeakVanNyke
Does anyone know what Russia has?
Sanivia
from what ive read in the latest news, russia has only used 2/3 of their stationed troops (?) can anyone update this?
Lewd4D
A corrupt nazi dictator as a leader.
Toldavf
Are these just the knocked out ones or captured stuff too?
UngratefulColonial
I would presume both
KingAardvark1st
That's a *lot* of BTR's and BMP's. Like a *lot*
BarfMonger
Target rich environment. Do we still have LAW's we can send? They will just piss off a tank but trash a BTR or BMP.
Onlypostcuteness
How muchof these numbers are propaganda to to weaken Russian morale?
BarfMonger
If what we are seeing of equipment is correct than the numbers are probably accurate. Looks like what's left of the USSR's army.
GrumpyMe
The more the merrier. ??????
jzastrow
I hope the majority of those "losses" are surrenders/defectors and not a bunch of dead pimple-faced dumb Russian kids
SonOfLucifer
WHO SANK THE BOATS!? (or are they the oligarch yachts?)
Amizcuz
Apparently the Ukraine has a stealth sub that's been putting in work
azimir
FYI: It's just "Ukraine". Adding a 'the' makes it like "The Scotland" or "The France".
omgthemuffinman
Can add two more helicopters to that if the video is real and recent.
ForceAwakenWasLame
How did you destroy the boat? -Bad Boys 2
Dasnekones
I think someone said it was from basically day 1 which sort of makes sense considering their boldness and concentrated push.
omgthemuffinman
Would make sense. One of those things looked like it was dragging water too for a moment.
picofemtomicro
And there is a 64 km long line of equipment still waiting. Russia will take Ukraine and put a huge defense line along the border to EU.
UngratefulColonial
Not anymore sunshine. It went away
Partsx
even if they take ukraine, russia has demonstrated just how weak and out dated they are, a modern military would decimate them
mike13815
The majority of that equipment is now starved for fuel. The line isn't getting resources and there's no long term way of doing so.
Partsx
even if they take ukraine, europe has seen the error in relying on russian oil. the push away from dependence on their fuel has triggered
Partsx
even if they take ukraine, they are being cut off from the world. That isnt going to go back to how it was before.
MostLikelyNotWearingPants
That convoy left right before Russia asked for talks. Not convinced it wasn’t sent just to leverage Putin’s stance at the table.
SpicyPeanuts27
I agree. It's a overwhelming force but it will be costly. Very costly.
Partsx
even if they take ukraine, they will be fighting 40 million civilians for the next decade. They couldnt take afghanistan 30 years ago
keebs63
Afghanistan is very harsh and unforgiving terrain that makes it easy to defend, Ukraine is literally the opposite being entirely plains.
Partsx
and they are still struggling. what would they do across multiple fronts and against military's with airforce
rudi777
.
JOAP
They've lost 2 boats?!
Amizcuz
The Ukraine has a stealth submarine that put in some work, apparently.
KILLERCHROMATIC
I have no idea if this is a lot or a little
OrigamiPigeon
This is more troops than the US lost in IQ and AF combined during the whole time there.... in 6 days
Starfury42
The only way Ukraine can hold them off is by destroying supplies. Gas/ammo/food/water.
UngratefulColonial
They are running low on food and abandoning equipment due to fuel.
Starfury42
No fuel: no armored cars/tanks. No food/water - demoralized troops who don't want to be there in the first place.
UngratefulColonial
And Ukraine started offering $48k USD, plus asylum to soldiers who want to defect.
azimir
If that's in USD and not rubles... oh, that's some big money now!
KountyBoy19
Is the troops lost the number of casualties (killed, wounded and captured) ?
UngratefulColonial
Yes
UngratefulColonial
Yes
viridianasovari
Can't wait until this list includes warships
Whatswrongwiththispicture
Hope they’re correct
Rahava
It's likely some of them will be lower and some will be higher. I hope for the latter.
Willopsycho
The fist thing that dies in war is the truth.
Hyndisfox
They're not. The real numbers will be somewhere between Ukraine's and Russia's stated estimates. Fog of war and all that.
peffflewef
Wasn't Russia's estimate a few days into the invasion 0 losses?

It says as of 9 EET March 1st on the image
PineappleLoopsBroether
Oh whoops, I’m just waking up, I read passed that, I guess it IS an update.
OwlThread
Well, good morning. And let me be the first (maybe) to tell you, welcome to March :)
PineappleLoopsBroether
Hey thank you.
pascaljanssen
not it's not, yesterday the same image was posted with lower numbers
BlackStar7713
Plus the date is right at the top
SuperiorPebble
I cannot celebrate the loss of Russian life, but I can celebrate the loss of vehicles & equipment. This war is getting very expensive.
GuysJustWannaFish
Unfortunately, that barely even registers as a body count in Russia, but that's a sizeable quantity of armor units out of action.
redditmcredditface
yea man today's soldier was yesterdays Uncle, husband, wife, kid, etc.
VeinyFleshTrumpet
It hurts me that people are celebrating the deaths of Russian soldiers. Ukraine all the way baby, but they’re humans too.
lspec
When they’re unable to remove themselves from Putin’s expansionist aggression, I sure do appreciate someone else doing it for them.
Colarix
From pictures seen, a lot of their harware is quite old, soviet era even, from the arms race.
melmboundanddown
Not really, they look mostly shit old ussr vehicles.
persianwrangler
If it’s an adult who signed up to hold a gun vs a child in a country under siege I’m celebrating the loss of the soldier
madeejit
Many Russian soldiers are conscripts. And almost boys themselves. Neither is something to celebrate.
lspec
If they’re there fighting and killing, forcing more people under Russia’s autocracy, it doesn’t matter how they got there.
EdwardEH
Russian doctrine takes these losses into account. Since it wasnt a cakewalk, doctrine would be to theow evem more conventional attacks 1/
EdwardEH
And then look to captives and exploit their knowledge. Look at the way Russia conducted the afghan war. The best course of action 2/
EdwardEH
Is for the EU to keep supplying Ukraine with arms and supplies and attempt to sever supply lines. Make it extremely expensive for Putin.
LordAsshurt
Agree, celebrating the deaths of those who might not even want to be there is shitty
YadLladnek
It’s not about Celebrating it. They are documenting the atrocity beating them across the head.
LordAsshurt
The top comment is literally all about cranking those numbers up. Documenting is important
YadLladnek
Because it’s them or the people who were minding their own fucking business in their own damn country. Hope That helps.
LordAsshurt
Well yeah it's all bad and wrong on russias side. Still doesn't mean there isn't people who just don't fly with Bladamire Poopin
lindydanny
He will bankrupt all of Russia.
Drakesfear
He really wants to go full USSR
Imademyselfsquirtle
Already has.
camn333
*Looks at the Russian stock market* Pretty sure he already did. It's gonna take a while to undo all that damage.

CompressedInfo
Estimates put the cost at somewhere between 15 and 25 billion dollars a day
rahbeNoodleBandit
That figure seems high. Assuming a 200k force, each soldier should cost/spend around $125k a day. Is there a source for the number?
TimeForAnUpgrade
Hardware has a cost behind the soldier salary
rahbeNoodleBandit
I'm well aware, it still just seems a little high that every soldier goes through that much "hardware" each day.
Harryteeters
IllegalAlienFromOuterSpace
I feel that, regardless of who wins, it's gonna be a Pyrrhic victory.
mmontour
Sadly true. There's a whole lot more equipment where that came from.
VeinyFleshTrumpet
I don’t care if I get downvoted to oblivion. Those Russian deaths mostly didn’t want to be there. I’m Ukraine ALL the way, but as a 1/
VeinyFleshTrumpet
Former US military member, I fucking weep for the souls on both sides who never wanted this to happen. Don’t forget they’re ALL humans.
Bumbasaywhat
❤️
usernamewillnotbesavedandisalreadyinuse
Thank you for clarification. Imo it's so important to remember that.
UngratefulColonial
In reviewing some of the Russian soldiers text messages, you are correct. They didn't know why they were there and didn't want to be there.
BarfMonger
They are also the enemy and their bullets will kill you just as dead as a volunteers. Sucks to be them.
VeinyFleshTrumpet
Then you still miss the point. It sucks for everyone and that’s what I’m saying. No one said “don’t shoot”. It’s just tragedy.
HyperCynic
Anyone who downvotes this has the compassion of a gnat.
BatsArentBugs
Yes, this bares repeating. Dehumanizing death because of allegiances leads to dehumanizing yourself. It’s just not black and white.
Harryteeters
Dam son, that's heavy. You right.
VeinyFleshTrumpet
It’s easier to deal with stuff like this when you don’t view the enemy as human.
BatsArentBugs
Easier emotionally in the short term, but at what cost, right?
C0mmanderX
They can surrender. Some have been. If they dont want to be there they have options.
VeinyFleshTrumpet
I genuinely hope droves of them do.
INeverWaitForIt
I mean, some of them did. One of those deaths was a brutal Chechen warlord, so fuck that dude in particular at least. A lot of those
VeinyFleshTrumpet
Well then ultra-fuck that guy. The scum who want it are no better than Putin and I hope they meet an agonizing fate.
INeverWaitForIt
piloting more sophisticated systems like planes and helicopters are definitely professionals and not conscripts.
goofyimgurl
I value your point but not all professionals want to go to war either. It's a job and they may have signed up for any of a hundred reasons.
