Their population is only 4-5 times bigger and if their strategy is to sacrifice 10 Russians per 1 Ukrainian the math doesn’t add up long term, even with the fresh foreign recruits.
Russia has largely avoided what Ukraine had to do to put men on the frontline and we’ll soon see headlines like we do out of Ukraine of “recruiters” kidnapping young men on the streets for service.
Neither nation’s manpower will return after emigrating. They have whole new lives now in other countries.
Russia is offering $80,000 to join the army and recruitment is still down 20%. Turns out the job description is the problem
Casualties (killed, and those wounded and won’t be returning to the battlefield) are increasing (c.1,000 per day)
Recruitment is slowing.
The number of those taking the recruitment bonus (up to 1.5million roubles – c.$20.7K) and failing to show up, is increasing.
Number of troops surrendering is increasing.
Desertions are increasing.
It’s all gone Pete Tong for Pootie.
***Maths*** doesn’t care about propaganda.
War financing demands extensive funds for human resources, weapons, supplies, and medical care. Ukraine’s advantage lies in deploying drones, reducing the need for large armies. The future of warfare is drones and AI driven command centers.
Fresh or forced recruit gonna get instantly killed in the frontline.
Number of infantry doesnt really matter if the entire frontline is a drone wall.
That’s what happens when you kill enough Russians.
A lot of sour faces in DC. MAGA’s beloved Putin is not doing so well.
But wait, I was told that a Russian victory was inevitable due to their overwhelming advantage…
Good, send the rest if them to the hills
I read it somewhere recently that the average lifespan of the Russian soldier from recruitment till their inevitable death on the battlefield is less than 3 weeks. They get 2 weeks of basic training and then they’re deployed to the frontlines, where they last only a matter of days.
how many north Korean meat bags are still in theater?
I wonder whatever happened to that Texas guy that took his family over there to „avoid the gay agenda“ and got sent to the front lines.
They’re not gone, they just regrouped in firey lakes of hell.
There’s a lot of young and single Russian women…
Every time I pass by one of these banners I keep telling myself that in reality it says “Наша Профессия – уРодину защищать” (“Our job is to defend an ugly skank” instead of the original “Our job is to defend the motherland” Наша Профессия – Родину защищать)
While this is certainly good news, Ukraine still also has massive manpower problems. We need to force Russia on the negotiation table this year through force while Ukraine still has the advantage.
Money only has value if you are alive to spend it. No amount of incentives to join up will stop you dying in a week.
And Ukraine just keeps droning on and on…
If you build a large enough meat grinder, then the only thing additional Russian manpower gets you is more ground meat in the same amount of time.
Their manpower hasn’t been overwhelming anything in years..
Putin took a hint from Zapp Brannigan: „Knowing that Killbots have a preset kill limit, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down.“
Russian average annual salary is less than 20k? 😳
For the people that haven’t been following this closely, the Russians have just passed 500,000 KIA since Feb 2022.
For context:
US combat deaths 1941 to 1945: 388,000
UK combat deaths 1939 to 1945 : 384,000
Russian combat deaths 2022 to 2026: 500,000+
4 years of overwhelming manpower during a 3 day special military operation is wild. Just say „Russia is running out of people to goad into gumming up tracks“
Yeah, who could foresee that using old imperial ‚human wave‘ tactics in a modern war against modern weapons would lead to a catastrophic loss of men huh?
It’s Russia in a nutshell- complete disregard for human life paired with almost boundless arrogance.
If Russia had an „overwhelming manpower advantage“ they would have taken Ukraine years ago.
