Good work from Ukraine. Tomorrow we will hit 8000 APCs!

    Still heavily chipping away at artillery. Are they also counting T55’s that were converted to be makeshift artillery cannons?

      First time I’m hearing this lol. Do they just park the tanks on an incline and fire the gun into the air? Are there pics?

        It’s mostly been put as a rumour. They’re mostly founded on the fact that Iran still produces 100mm shells that fit.

        How to fire? I’m not a tanker, but I’d imagine similarly to mortar with a spotter drone in the air.

    Does the average russian citizen have any idea of the losses I wonder

      The ridiculously skewed numbers that the Russian MoD releases are generally for domestic consumption, so the average Russian has no idea how badly they’re getting their asses kicked. That said, as fathers, sons and brothers fail to return home, the true picture will soon become apparent.

      They must do at least anecdotally. Enough people have died at this point for them to be aware it’s happening a lot.

        I am not sure about that. If you take the Ukrainian figure of +200k dead, that would mean 0.14% of the Russian population died in that war. In Germany, 0.11% of the population died from covid, but fortunately I didn’t know anyone from that.

      Russia has been trying to keep most of the fighting to prisoners and minorities. So if you don’t know someone in either group you might not be aware.

      I’m pretty sure the average Russian citizen does not care about the war whatsoever, especially if they are not in immediate danger of being drafted.

        Defenitely Russia has upper hand…as published in the post destruction happened on large scale (Russian side)… It is hard even to imagine the scale of destruction from Ukrainian side…
