Russian media Moscow Times reported that according to officials from the Russian Security Bureau, the Russian coalition has suffered 90,000 casualties in nearly eight months since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Including the Russian regular army, Ministry of Internal Affairs, National Guards, Chechen armed forces, Wagner mercenaries, as well as the Donetsk and Lugansk armed forces.
Simultaneous losses include, death, illness, injury, capture, disappearance and escape, etc. Although the authenticity of this number cannot be confirmed, it can be confirmed that the entire Russian coalition has suffered relatively large losses. Before the referendum on the four states, the Donetsk armed forces had announced 13,000 casualties. If the number of casualties in the Lugansk armed forces was about the same, then the pro-Russian armed forces in Donbas was 25,000-26,000.
The last time the Russian army announced that the number of casualties was nearly 6,000, plus the triple number of injured people, the number of casualties of the Russian army was 24,000. The Russian army and Donbass have suffered losses of 50,000 people.
Add Wagner, Chechnya and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to casualties, from the last public casualties, it has been more than a month since the total casualties will increase further. In terms of the number of people, one Russian division has about 8,000-10,000 people. On the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, the Russian coalition forces will suffer an average of one division in one month. There are various statements about the casualties and number of captured people of the Ukrainian army ranging from 100,000, 150,000 and 200,000.
At the same time, according to the weapons and equipment loss statistics, the Russian army recorded on the website Oryx with image evidence, and the losses of 7,000 tanks armored vehicles and cannons, trucks oil tankers and other equipment.
In order to make up for the losses, Russia is sealing 800 old-fashioned T-62 tanks for upgrading and transformation. Countless heavy self-propelled artillery, air defense missiles, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are being sealed from warehouses in various parts of Russia and all headed to the Ukrainian frontline. Russia is about to overturn the table.
Russia mobilized 300,000 reserves to participate in the war in this round. Even if 60% of the personnel belong to field troops, 200 battalion-level combat groups can be formed. So in order to equip these 200 battalion-level combat groups, the Russian army also needs 8,000 tanks, armored vehicles and artillery. To this end, Russia is launching a seal of Soviet weapons and new weapons and equipment across the country to arm the Russian army to mobilize troops.
At the same time, in order to increase troops, the Russian Ministry of Defense began to imitate Wagner and ran to the prison to recruit prisoners to the war. And promised that they had a better advantage than Wagner and were more likely to go home. The Russian army is building a storm force of prisoners on the southern front of Ukraine.
Russia-Ukrainian War Putin Judgement is very accurate in terms of attack time, timing and response to the East and West. However, the only thing that was not expected was that the Russian army could not quickly solve the Ukrainian army, which seemed to be useless.
21st century war is an artillery war. When I first learned this sentence, I didn’t care. But now I realize that this is really a famous saying.
On the battlefield of Russia and Ukraine, half of the losses of the Russian army were caused by the Ukrainian artillery, and most of the losses of the Ukrainian army were also caused by the Russian artillery. Back then, the Soviet Union relied on the army to repulse the German Nazis. With such a large area in Russia, military reform can be achieved, and it is no problem to strengthen special operations in sea and air. But the status of the army cannot be reduced.
And the army's core strike capability is artillery, and war is the support of the air force and missiles to the ground, and strike deep targets. The navy is to protect coastlines, maritime traffic lines and ground-to-ground missile attacks. But these are not the main force. The real killer weapon is the artillery's annihilation of the enemy and destroying the enemy's defense. The army launched a surprise attack on the soles of the feet to occupy the position.
However, the air force and navy cannot occupy positions, nor can they occupy cities and rural areas. The U.S. Navy and Air Force are so powerful that they cannot control the cities and rural areas of Afghanistan.
artillery that can fire precisely guided ammunition and rocket launcher became the main firepower in the war.General James C. McConville, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, said: "We are witnessing the impact of long-range precision firepower. Himas has changed the rules of the game in Ukraine. Long-range artillery and rocket launchers have given the army the ability to strike in depth."
. As the Russian casualties continue to increase, the Russian army's attack power has been further weakened. Therefore, the Russian army has currently adopted "not enough people, cannonballs are gathered." The Ukrainian army felt that the Russian army did not meet and only hit the shells.
