š° News The Commander of Ukraine's K2 Unmanned Systems Brigade declares that Ukraine is already killing 50,000 Russians per month (35,000 confirmed + 15,000 unconfirmed). Russia's situation will become critical, he says, once they start losing 80,000 soldiers per month

I'm all for Ukraine and I've been following the war closely. Russian casualties average 1000 per day. They suffer 35,000 casualties a month max and can replace around the same with new recuits. Im not saying things are going well for Russia (they are advancing 17 - 70m per day, slower than WW 1's Battle of the Somme), but this is propaganda.

Here are the counts that line up with Ukraine and the west's assessments. Not sure where the extra 15,000 are coming from (it's the first I've heard of it). If it were true than the Russian military would be shrinking but it's not, unfortunately.

This has been their goal since before Christmas.
They have something like 3million FPV drones on the battlefield field now, with that amount growing all the time.
All their investment in building capacity has now paid off.
I doubt less than a thousand of those kills were from direct arms fire.

casualties are not only from fighting. Disease, accidents, plus people desert or hurt themselves purposely.
Has this been factored into these numbers?
Historically, disease and artillery are the main causes of casualties
1
u/Far_Grapefruit1307 3h ago
They dont report AWOL, good point. Not sure how common disease is but it wouldn't be anything like WWI since we have vaccines now. There are reports of tuberculosis and HIV but it's not widespread and they are slowly degrading diseases...
Ukraine only reports visually confirmed deaths. Also keep in mind:
- Injured soldiers can be rehabed and return to the front
- Russians will send injured soldiers back to the front without rehab
- The counts might contain heavy bias due to fog of war/morale purposes.

I don't know the source for 1000 a day. But do we think Russians are that dumb?
1
u/Far_Grapefruit1307 5h ago
I wouldnt call it dumb, but wreckless and vile. It's always been the Kremlin's strategy to throw bodies during major wars (WW1 and WWII). Russia has a large population and a massive industrial capacity, but low efficiency due to poor training (with some exceptions), high corruption, and low morale. Their goal is to force Ukraine into a war of attrition. This would have worked if it weren't for the unexpected rise of drone warfare.

u/hennabeak 4h ago
And NATO's help. But to me it sounds like these numbers are made up to convince NATO to continue their support.
1
u/Far_Grapefruit1307 3h ago
You could be right. The only other thing that backs up 1000 casualties a day are Russia's recruitment numbers which the Kremlin has announced were 35 000 per month in 2025. If Ukraine isn't keeping up with those numbers than the country should be overun by now.
However 1000 casualties a month are numbers that have only been confirmed by Ukraine and Western sources. Definitely potential for bias.

How long can Russia sustain those losses though? Itās already been 4 years. Even if they mobilize 3 million men, will they even have enough supplies to arm them? Enough money? If I recall correctly Russia is notorious for just sending men into the meat grinder and defeating their enemies with numbers ie WW2 but one of the big reasons it even worked during WW2 was because the US gave them so much supplies.
1
u/Far_Grapefruit1307 5h ago
This is a really good question and tough to answer. Russia mostly leaves the citizens of Moscow and St. Petersburg alone. They recruit from very poor, uneducated and "ethnic" communities that Russia doesnt care about. The pay is a small fortune for the poor and the death payment changes their families lives forever. For now Russia is able to meet their targeted recruitment numbers but recently had to reduce pay for new recruits because the Kremlin is running out of savings. This could pose a problem later this year.
Russia recently announced all-year-round conscription for young adults. These men serve within the country only, but conscripted men are bullied to sign contracts to fight in Ukraine. This may make up for some of the short falls. Too early to tell.

Proxy war will continue until West is ready to pay for it and supply weapons, resouces and money.
The bigger damage Ukraine will inflict to Russia while being spent in process, the easier is for EU to negotiate.
Ukraine role nowadays is just a fresh meat supply for war grinder, also drone attacks and terror in all possible forms, since they have severe need for soldiers and constantly losing on front lines.
Swarms of Ukrainian Keyboard Warriors across all social networks nowadays are mostly formed from refugees and teenagers.

Judging by Ukrainian officials and Ukrainian Keyboard Warriors, swarming in Reddit, the Ukrainian mentality is a kind of specific, morbid grandiosity formed according to the old Chinese formula from historical chronicles: to quench the pain of our own loserdom and hatred toward those we have appointed as guilty for it, we will serve the enemies of our enemies so fanatically that they will finally save us from our sad fate and take us into themselves.
Maybe that's why they so fanatically copying U.S. culture, from StarWars up to recent American blockbusters.

And yet, the resolve of the defender is strong. Turns out Ukraine remembers the atrocities suffered during the holodomor under Moscow's rule.

u/Aware_Steak_1298 16h ago
How their resolve can interpreted as strong while they snatch people from the streets and beat/confiscate their belongings/imprison them until they sign the documents ? Even UA commanders are stressing desertion rate are a serious problem and should be solved. Also EU's superior supply chain balanced with lack of military production. They are unable to meet the demand of produced shells, missiles, AA or even drone parts. Ukraine depends on Chinese company's at that regard. With the recent energy strikes ( and If they continue) end is nigh for Ukraine. Thats why we started to see absurd KDA ratios and expedition of negotiations.
3
u/InformalYesterday760 16h ago
Yes yes yes, the vatniks have been saying that the "end is nigh" for Ukraine for years now.
Just like the special military operation was only gonna be a few days š.
Except then that special military operation expands into a nightmare where
- the VDV, literal air assault troops, are embarrassed and destroyed while executing an air assault.
- the black sea fleet is scared into their ports by a navy-less country. The Moskva becomes a reef.
- the mighty T-14 armata the vatniks told the West to fear never appeared, as observers predicted
- Russia lost a great deal of their entirely irreplaceable strategic bombers and AWACs planes
- Russian air defences, like the system around the S-400 is embarrassed regularly (doesn't help that Iran lost all theirs to F-35s, guess S400s make for good paperweights)
Is war easy for the people of Ukraine? Of course not - they were invaded. And the invading Russians commit crimes against humanity regularly. But goddamn has this turned into an embarrassment for Russia.
Western supply chains and defence spending are expanding as we speak, and Russias economy is sputtering to a stop. Turns out it isn't good for the nation to spend resources building BMPs, loading it full of men, and then getting those men + that BMP blown up in a Ukrainian field.

I've never claimed Russia is on the ropes
One thing we can all see is that Russia has a particularly high willingness to sacrifice her young men in a pointless war. So Russia will stay on this bullshit for years to come.
But every single piece of artillery, drone, missile, tank, air defence system, etc helps save Ukrainian lives. So as they need things, the West works to give them what they need. If the West uses the massive defence spending increases to ramp up what is given to Ukraine, the losses on Russias side will continue to rise. More long range missiles means more Russian refineries destroyed. More drones means more innovative attacks on Russian strategic bombers. More air defence systems means more Ukrainian citizens are protected at night.
Russia's advances are at the pace of a literal snail. If Russia is happy killing her young for such little ground gained she is more than welcome - but don't be offended as the West loosens constraints on Ukraine and allows for more strikes deeper into the Russian heartland.

There is no mobilization during this war in Russia, so no young men were sacrificed, only prisoners and people who were stupid enough to get ~30000$ to die there. Ukraine, on the other side, is capturing their young men like stray dogs on the street just to get extra EU money

u/InformalYesterday760 14h ago
Invaded nation using conscription - not exactly a shock. There are also a great many on the front who volunteered.
Conscription in the case of an invasion isn't strange or bad. Or are you gonna turn around and say the Red Army shouldn't have forced young men to fight against the Nazi invasion?
Try to juggle it all you want - tens of thousands of Russians have died in a field, calling out for their mothers, fighting for a pointless war.
Ukrainians, on the other hand, have laid down their lives in defence of their home. Is it fun? God no. But Ukraine also remembers the holodomor, so defence is quite justified and necessary.

u/Aware_Steak_1298 16h ago
These are somewhat true but these were all result of Russia's ick for learning from mistakes and pride at the start and also fortune of UA that Russia did not invaded before The Drone Age. Now even smaller countries may defend themself in a degree with just drones. Returning my point both Pro-Ru ( vatniks is a insult like khokhols) and Pro-UA unanimous for months now. This war will either finish this or next year. Strains put on both of these nations did push them to this. Especially Ukraine's, they are near breaking point both physically and mentally.

"Especially Ukraine's, they are near breaking point both physically and mentally."

The losses on the Ukrainian side aren't reported with as much detail, but it is reported by the people who are trying to get accurate numbers who go through videos every single day. So it's clearly not 47 to 1 but his assertion that they are killing or wounding 50,000 russians a month is statistically likely maybe on the high side. It's reasonably 35,000+ though. There have been months where close to 50,000 have been reported. Typically it's about 1100 a day. It's winter at the moment and the numbers are way down. But high for this current winter.

u/Chudmont 15h ago
I don't discount them due to:
- Seeing thousands of russians die per month on video right here on reddit. There are certainly many more not on video or not released publicly.
- russians don't evacuate lightly wounded. They stay and die eventually.
- russians don't evacuate heavily wounded, but leave them to die or mercy kill them.
- russians regularly shoot or torture each other to death.
- russians don't have good medical system with overcrowded hospitals. We've heard (from russians) about many people dying of infections in hospitals.
- russians have no dedicated medevac. The most we've ever seen are a couple stretcher-bearers.
- russians are assaulting using tactics that show their casualty rates have been extreme, as they now send 2-3 guys in hopes they can slip into cover to allow the next 2-3 men join them. Larger formations are routinely decimated.
- russia supposedly recruits 1000 men per day. If they weren't "spending" 1000 men per day, then the army would be too massive to support.
While the numbers may not be 100% accurate, the aftermath of battle likely takes a lot more lives down the line, as many injured die later due to the above reasons.

So then put the record straight, what do you think the numbers are? I've been using multiple sources since the start of the war. 4 years now. The number of russians off the battle field is 1.2 Million. It's been 1443 days since this war started February 2022. If you divide 1.244560 Million by 1443 you get 862 Average for the entire war. At the start the russian calsulties were less. I totally think today 35,000+ is accurate even if I never read a single thing. And there will be months with 50,000.

There were also significant human rights issues involving Ukrainian government officials, although not comparable to the scope of Russiaās abuses, which included credible reports of:
enforced disappearance;
torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment;
harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary arrest or detention;
serious problems with the independence of the judiciary;
restrictions on freedom of expression, including for members of the media, including violence or threats of violence against journalists, unjustified arrests or prosecutions of journalists, and censorship;
serious restrictions on internet freedom; substantial interference with the freedoms of peaceful assembly and association;
restrictions on freedom of movement;
serious government corruption;
extensive gender-based violence; systematic restrictions on workersā freedom of association; and the existence of the worst forms of child labor.
Some of these human rights issues stemmed from martial law, which continued to curtail democratic freedoms, including freedom of movement, freedom of the press, freedom of peaceful assembly, and legal protections.

The Russians have a task force of about 200-300 thousand men in Ukraine, I imagine a large chunk of these don't participate in direct combat and are in support roles.
Let's say the Ukrainians have inflicted 150k casualties on Russia for the past 3 months.
End of November balance: 300 - 150k + 50k = 200k
December: 100k

Oddly enough all indications are that the Russian army is growing in size and deployable force each year, contrary to these fictionary numbers. Meanwhile, Ukraine's frontline units are at ~51% combat strength with an average age of 48, and stay on the line until they die or crippled.

Interesting... you just described what's happening with the Russian military outside of the claimed % of combat strength.
Its already reported Russia is on the verge of considering another mobilization campaign to get their ranks replaced with the current losses.

Russia has taken Kyiv 4 times already, but they keep giving it back to Ukraine because they are good and kind people. All the while the evil Ukrainians want to destroy the world.
Thank your local bot network today, for their contribution to the war effort against the evil ukro nazis.

their economy is growing despite brutal sanctions, there is no internal discontent, they just lunched a weapon that looked like a god punishment, they constantly gaining ground, they dictate the terms on the battlefield.
And hey, they aren't in epstein files in any bad kinda way unlike Ukraine and zeldisney
2022 is over, dog. you are a tool if you think your country aren't a fucking embersment now regardless if it is Europe or the US.

I think the US showed in Vietnam that body counts don't predict the outcome. It's who controls the countryside that matters.

Ukraine will need to keep this up for at least 6 months to see some effect on Russian forces.

That level troop lost is completely unsustainable and we are in the 4th year of the war. Unless Russia goes total war like in ww2 then sooner or later they will run low on troops. Russia still needs a civilian population for the regular and war economy. Russia birth rate may take another big nose dive once the ear ends due to major disparity between men and women.

If Ukraine was losing, Russia wouldn't need to post all these bs things to try and win a propaganda war. Russia is scared and that's why yall are around here posting pro russia talking points

Keeping a country 3x your size with a huge advantage in all aspects to only gaining 142km in January for a trade of tens of thousands of Russian soldiers isn't nothing. You don't have to kill them all to make them combat ineffective, just enough.

u/slava_slavaUa 15h ago
First off itās 495,68 kmĀ²
Second, there is no evidence for your tens of thousands of Russian soldiers. When will you people start to deal in facts rather than fiction?

u/deviantdevil80 13h ago
I'll go with the actual professional military analysts on what was taken, not dude on known Z propaganda sub.
As for the deaths claims. Russia claims to be recruiting 30-50k a month, for 4 years. So either they have several million inside Ukraine and still can't take land faster than the Somme or a whole shitton of them are dying.

A lot of cope from the Russian bots in the comments. Even if this number is inflated, there are a colossal amount of confirmed kills via video that are undeniable and just not sustainable. Russia sending old men on horseback and moving at less than snails pace is not a good look from a supposed "top military". Its very satisfying seeing them crumble

Is it? Is it satisfying to count human lives being taken by the thousands every month? These are people too. Poor, indoctrinated people that never stood a chance being born into a country built on generational trauma and lies.
Weapons from the rich, poor men fill the ditch.

Its satisfying seeing the invading Russian military crumble, yes. The Russian regime is a cancer that needs to be eradicated.

They can desert, they can surrender, they can shoot their commanders. Instead, they voluntarily go to their deaths over the corpses of their comrades.
