What is stunning and incredible is how the Russian people are docile to this psychopath.

Commander: We promise you won't be starving for weeks. Recruit: Sounds great! Commander: Yeah...

Russia didn't go to North Korea for aid because they were doing well.

Russia relocated around 80% of their troops at the border with Finland to Ukraine, because of their heavy losses. That shows, the russian losses have to be massive, so most likely the high numbers they report are true 🤷‍♂️

This comment is to confirm this channel is real and we the KZfaq viewing public demand you show Paul some damn respect. Thank you.

It’s crazy how little regard the russian command has for the ordinary soldier. Something’s just never change do they.

We have seen this verified by Russian soldiers who have stated that after combat only 7 of 200 were left. This is just one example.

Incredible how Russian tactics are evolving. 2 days is an improvement of 100% from 1 day.

They have three drones for each Russian solder. I think that's horrifying.

It seems like the Russians have adopted their own version of the kamikazes

Those magnificent Tsarist palaces in StPetersburg? Collections of world top art, sculptures etc... Just an example - when one such palace burned (19th century) mid-winter, Tsar ordered renovation immediately. This involved putting new plaster on walls - temperature +30C inside, -30C outside. Going in-out many times in a day meant pneumonia for workers. Over 10K of them died for that renovation. And this was not even a war, just a home improvement project for the Tsar.

Army combat vet here (OIF) This is nuts. Imagine if we fought like that? He's going to have the whole of Russia pissed at him because everyone will either know of someone that died fighting HIS war, or they themselves lost someone. Putin, this ain't it chief. Great bed he's making himself... Getting ready to lay in it.

circa 7min: US Vet is explaining this: The ru MoD's increased over-reliance on infantry-heavy frontal assault tactics has greatly degraded the distinctions between various ru combat services on the battlefield, thus minimizing the operational efficacy of frontline troops. In other words? A bunch of yahoos, poorly trained and wit zero support... Let me know if I missed anything.

That's appalling. Assault troops are typically the most experienced, trained, resourceful and resilient in any military. They're also generally well supported because their sole job is to establish and hold tactically important forward positions under heavy fire. You expect casualties from initial contact, but not a 2 day life expectancy averaged over the whole contingent. I think it's too often overlooked that Putin's crimes are as much against his own people as others. I suppose you and your viewers know that the Ukrainians refer to them as "orcs"...

As long as there are still russians, this number needs to go up asap.

They roughly lost 31,000 Troops in one months... damn

It's disgusting. I'd feel bad for Russians, if they didn't do this every generation. Come on, it's hard to believe they don't all want this.

Now comes the $64k question again: Russian casualties, or "russian" casualties from fly over Russian republics?

I can only imagine the fatality to injured ratio is far worse now that FPV are doing a lot of the work instead of artillery.

"90,000 is not unsustainable because they get 30,000 new each month," but if it was to keep up for several months, the net losses would greatly degrade Russian capabilities. Also, remember that the killed and disabled are permanent losses to the Russian labor force, which is already suffering from major shortages.

HA! “The Russians, are going to run out of Russians”, Brilliant! 😜

I don’t think the usual 3:1 ratio of wounded to killed applies when even the Russian troops are saying they are taking 90% losses in some units.

I'm starting to think that the Z is for Zap (Brannigan).

Russia thinks they can win by overwhelming Ukraine with having 3 to 4 times as many troops, so they can lose 75% of the men and still win. But Russia is wrong since Ukraine has the advantage of better weapons and a commitment to save their country.

RU is throwing everything at this; when they run out it will be a sudden and widespread exhaustion

At this rate of casualties, why russian people (mostly women, elders and children) still sleep and say nothing?

They are using state Soviet tactics. Ww2 style

Thank you for your coverage and insights 🇬🇧🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🇪🇺

It's mind boggling to think about but the average Russian is even less informed than we are as state news agencies and channels only reports cherry picked talking points. If Russians knew that them deploying would mean almost certain death in a pointless meat wave attack there would likely be a lot of unrest in the nation. Probably also why the Russian MOD is starting to try and attract more men from its African sphere of influence as they're even more expendable in the Russian mindset.

The one big advantage of Russia is the number of people it can send to the front line. That is why the combat vehicles are basic by western standards but also cheap and easy to build. So you can make a lot of them. The second advantage is trading land for time and forcing the enemy into a long long supply line. But if the attack comes from the west like Napoleon or Hitler, Russia would need ukrain or the enemy would start 4 during hours from Moscow. And that is the whole point of the Russian attack. And that means Russia has already failed strategically no matter how much territory they might gain. No Ukrainian would fight for Russia or even be neutral to them.

When I was a US soldier, on paper, my battlefield life expectancy was measured in seconds.

If true, this is horrifying. The US lost roughly 60k KIA in Vietnam, over about 12 years. Russia is losing that much in 4 months. I was told a decade or so ago that a single soldier costs the US about $250k to train. So maybe Russia can do that for 1/10th that cost. That still represents $750,000,000 for one month.

could the bots please explain why those had to pass away ?

each person just walking into their death in a line . not even Mao Zedong and Hitler treated his soliders like that .

Tragic waste of life in pursuit of a mad man’s paranoia.

"90,000 not unsubstainable..." Man someone needs some strike gum.

The idea that 2 to 3 times as many are wounded might not be accurate with how Russia operates. It could be they simply largely die and thats it. Is there any real sign they care about their wounded? I mean if Im wounded and I know the rear line is going to shoot me if I go back, Im dead because no one is going to carry me back. Thats one to two people off the line for one guy wounded. Not to mention, they have a hard enough time living long enough to cross a field to engage. How in the world do they get back?

Veteran owned! Owned by this veteran.

I have several comments on this one. First, taking soldiers and charging strong points seems reminiscent of Japanese Banzai attacks in World War II or Chinese-Korean "human wave" attacks during the Korean War. Both had some temporary "success", at substantial long-term loss. Second, the Germans at the end of World War I, developed tactics of bypassing and then surrounding strongpoints, which they successfully employed at the beginning of World War II. Third, is there a method to the Russian's madness? Who are the "soldiers" being killed? Could it be that they had already been marked for death? Criminals? Foreigners? Disfavored ethnic groups? People suspected of being disloyal? Unskilled people providing little benefit to Russia? Anyway you look at this it is barbaric.

so if i did the math correctly thats 30,000 dead! holy crud thats like twice the amount of japanese dead in guadalcanall

They had human wave attacks from the Chinese in the Korean war once ,not again and again and again .

putin’s visit to kim in North Korea also wasn’t just for artillery shells & weapons, it was also in a horrible and ghastly sense, to secure more attritional forces. It’s not as widely know but one of the biggest sticks that kim uses against the Korean people is what are essentially political concentration camps. and kim will absolutely send the people currently suffering in these camps to putin’s front lines, and eventually it won’t just be the camps, it will be any transgression and people who have committed none at all. It upsets me deeply and it’s absolutely a historical atrocity in the making, for the Korean people who are unable to escape the hellhole that north Korea has become, only being allowed to “leave” as they are sent to putin’s war. Sometimes , the restrictions we place on ourselves as democracies really hinders our ability to bend a bit for the greater good, since a strike when kim and putin were together really would have solved a lot of problems. But that’s not how we do things.

The problem with the Russians is that they keep doin Rushin. 🤣🤣🤣

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” - Sending 500 to 1000 troops off to die every day for 849 days, and expecting "victory" every day does seem like the dictionary definition of insanity.

They use those chaff troops with close to WW1 sturmtruppen tactics...on a glass battlefield...

The problem is Russia has 6 million men left in their 20s. They have lost 500k dead and wounded and 1 million more left Russia before the mobilization. This war could still go on for several more years.

Paul its worth a look at the potential repercussions of South Korea reconsidering its policy of not supplying lethal aid to Ukraine in response to the recent North Korea Russian mutual military support agreement. South Korea Samsung alone is larger than North Korea economy. Most expert rate South Korea Main Battle tank the best in the world, their vehicle manufacturing is highly competitive a quality manufacturing and technology leader with companies such as Samsung, LG. South Korea is already a top military arms supplier, and their artillery shells are high quality. A sort of Finland/Sweden reaction in the works as a result of Putin mouth overloading his rear.

"Theyre gonna run out of russians." What a comment!!!😂

Thoughts and prayers for them. Arrest POOTIN!!

1,000+ a day? DAMN!

Hi Paul, your insights are really appreciated. Cheers.

Paul: You need to change your assumptions. 1. Yes, in WW2, on the eastern front, you needed a 3 to 1 manpower ratio for the Soviets to take and hold a position. The result was 2 Soviet casualties for every German casualty. Moreover, you could assume a ratio of wounded to killed. 2. the Ukraine Special Action is different. Russian troops are attacked by drones. There isn't a plan to recovr and recycle wounded Russians. Retreating Russians and Russians in temporary positions are hit with drones. There is no escaping the battle ground or killing zone by hiding in a trench, a forest or waiting until night fall. So there isn't a steady stream of wounded Russians being evacuated. When the Russians do not take and keep a position, the ratio of wounded to killed is going to be substantially less. The Russians can have a 5 or 6 to 1 ratio over the UA in launching an attack and still not take a position. 3. Mr. Putin has no alternative now to doubling down. Jake Sullivan has persuaded Mr. Biden to expand the use of munitions and that is paying off handsomely. It has caused the NATO allies to step up to the table and make more contributions. If he doesn't double down now and Mr. Biden is re-elected, the use of US munitions will creep further. Mr. Trump made statements that many people interpreted to mean that he would cut off support for the UA if elected. He didn't quite say that and probably will puff that he only caused people to believe it so that the NATO people would increase their contributions. Nonetheless, it is reasonably clear that he will put pressure on the Ukraine to give up territory if he is elected. He is not going to increase aid to the UA and will not impose any more sanctions on the Russians. So, therein in lies the incentive to double down.

The West would never allow this kind of casualties!!! It's sickening that Putin would alow this!!!!!

I think there are less wounded. They don't evacuate assault groups.

Thanks for your Updates, it means a lot 😁

Very articulate & focused analysis. Thank you, Sergeant Major!

What is you wearing brother!? 😂

Imagine receiving a pamphlet that says youll be dead in 2 days. Fortunately for russia, most recruits probably cant read. 2 days is hard to comprehend. These soldiers would have been traveling to the front for longer then 2 days. All the effort of arresting people, shipping them to the millitary, outfitting them with basic gear before shipping them to the front, just for them to be dead within 2 days.

Thanks paul.

Excellent reporting Paul. Thank you.

11:10 "It ain't over till the Russians run out of ... Russians". Sorry, I just had to put that one in there.

He's definitely wearing Speedos.

We are assuming that we can apply the 1/3 rule kia to wounded ratio. But if Russia didn't medevac, maybe almost every injury was a kia, and that's why kia is so high.

Germany believed it could bleed the USSR white in exactly the same way in ww2. From Stalingrad to Berlin the Germans inflicted far more casualties on the Russians than they incurred themselves. And yet Germany lost. Trading territory for casualties is a dangerous game and one that comes to an abrupt end when you run out of land.

I suppose its not unsustainable as long as your not a democracy.

Looks like you’re wearing prison garb from Newcastle 1890s

Thaks

Very informative

Makes sense, they already have managed democracy

You should sell those combat tank tops, to heck with gum

Thanks P Great work There was a really good discussion on Russian disinformation on silicon curtain today

Got a five pack of your gum! Love it! Tastes awesome and great energy!

In past wars, especially before modern medical advancements, the ratio of fatalities to injuries tended to be higher. For example, in World War I, the ratio was estimated to be around 1:2 to 1:3, meaning for every soldier killed, two to three were injured. WW2 it was closer to 1:4 and other modern wars like Vietnam and Korean wars. So in Ukraine at least 2000 injured Russians per day of May for the Kharkiv battle. However that said, I suspect UKR has a much higher K ratio to injuries, as those drone grenade assaults are lethal. This battle could have put up to 100,000 Russian troops out of action in the space of one month.

I imagine a lot of wounds that would normally be survivable are fatal for Russians attacking Kharkiv as so many probably do not get assistance in the time needed.

Russia now has virtually undefended borders around Finland Estonia etc. And has had to send air defence from the far side of it's country because they are critically short. Basically their entire army is in Ukraine

Thanks, Paul.

"Because real grenades are valuable, in fact much more than you are." Komissar Letvev, cod waw.

kinda crazy to see the cultural differences and how good we have it in america. we lose a handful of people and its a scandal. meanwhile russia is over here w/ short life expectancy on their troops.

Love your reporting

Good report! First try at Strike Gum yesterday! Very good! Good flavour and it gave me a boost ! Very nice product !

"Expending its combat capability" is around 10-20% casualties

1 Russian Ruble equals 0.011 United States Dollar as of right now.

Greetings from Los Angeles, California, Paul!!

Ruzzia is just treading water at this point with 30k KIA/month and 'recruitment' barely keeping up.

Yeah. And this is before Ukraine starts using the A-10 Warthogs!

Wow Russia has evidently started selling VDV undershirts from KIAs - they stand to make some good money lol

The human cost of this war has reached insane proportions. The demographics for both countries are going to be completely screwed by the time this ends.

Keep in mind the first 30,000 soldiers recruited will be the easiest 30,000 recruited. Just because they pull in 30,000 a month now doesn't mean they'll pull in that many a year from now, especially with stories of how 'professional' contract soldiers get turned to meat within days of arriving at the front circulating on Russian Social Media.

Always by oversaturation, an old tactic for Russia

So basically Russia is employing thr Zapp Brannigan war doctrine. 😅

they are unsustainable if they also want to have an economy

We must remember the Russians are using Africans Tibetans and Other non Russian republic families offered citizenship in Russia if the men went to the front line.

Is that a telnyashka Paul is wearing?

"Russia is running out of Russians.." Darwin rules, ok?

“you dont need to recruit a bunch of prisoners and send them to their doom” tag lines for Strike Gum just keep getting better..😆

3:19 “you don’t need to recruit a bunch of prisoners and send them to their doom” lmfao! 🤣

This was never the 2nd best army in the world, no?

🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

That leval of loss is not sustainable 30k losses a month is sick!!!!
