I consider calling someone a nazi an attack, do you disagree?

For those of you who haven't been around the thread since the early days, Ruff Fish is a Russian who used to participate in the thread; his last post was late 2023.

So Ukraine didn’t tell Russia adios and then left the Soviet Union and now Russia is trying to get it back but can not.

The irony is so thick you need a chainsaw to cut it.

I urge you to read that full post. The numbers quoted are staggering in volume.

quote:

---

For the second time since the start of the invasion, the enemy has suffered greater manpower losses than it mobilized.

22,000 – volume of replenishment of the occupying army in January 2026 (mobilized / contracted).

30,618 enemy personnel – verified result of the Unmanned Systems units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine (not USF only) in January, in terms of destruction.

-8,618 – negative worm balance.

30K kills via drone in one month...this is the future of warfare

At the same time, in January the Birds pecked:
1,012 enemy pilot launch points and 1,404 pieces of enemy pilot equipment,
2,128 enemy reconnaissance and strike wings,
478 artillery units,
80 tanks,
88 APCs / IFVs,
44 SAM / MLRS units,
27 radars,
1,705 units of logistics vehicles,
and a pile of other military junk – all reflected on the online counter in a total of 27,762 units.

I wonder what the combined value of all of this equipment was?

Expenditure by the Grouping:
37,054 FPV drones
1,119 night bombers
1,301 interceptor wings
971 interceptor copters
936 Mavic drones

140,677 combat sorties conducted – on average 4,500 per day, 3 sorties per minute throughout January.
• 303 worms per day on average
• 896 targets per day on average

If the 41,381 drones expended cost $1k each, then the cost to Ukraine was $41.3M. All that destroyed Russian equipment and 30k troops for 41M...thats a bargin.

I agree that If true, it would be a huge development.

I've watched this war long enough to have learned that when it comes to Russian reports of breakthroughs, you should probably wait about a week for additional confirmation before popping the champagne. This war is replete with examples of exaggeration from both sides.

Will Russia capture more than 1% of Ukraine in 2026?

Interesting, I wonder if this will be linked to Russia?

I don''t really see a path forward for Russia as a major world player after this. After the display of military arms Russia has presented for the last 4 years, no one, including the Europeans, is scared of the Russians.

China is the major benefactor from this war. If I had to name a "winner" today, it would be China. The cynical part of me thinks that China knew Russia was in deep shite without China's help and purposely worked to prolong the war to deepen Russia's debt to it.

ETA: In effect China did everything it could to prolong the war in order to weaken Russia. Its plausable.

Agreed, I love this show.

I'm ready to see Dunk wreck some shite.

So TDS, got it.

From the sources I’ve seen and people I’ve talked to Russia is losing around 20-30 soldiers per day on average at the moment.

So you're saying that Trump, Rubio and others are lying when they say Russia lost 20-30K troops each month of Oct, Nov, Dec of 2025?

What makes you think you know more about Russia's casualties than the President of the United States and the US military?
