> ...the rule of thumb where attackers take more casualties than defenders? yeah, agreed.  no, that does apply because it's easily observable. > kek, how many fabs are they dropping compared to 600 a month? i don't know but you seem to have this weird assumption that fabs are wunderwaffens that kill hundreds per strike.  > some of your compatriots are claiming that there isn't a disadvantage at all. glad that you have at least a few braincells. still, it's universally acknowledged that russia has a major artillery advantage.  it entirely depends on which theater or direction. russia had a huge advantage at the beginning of the war but ukraine received more accurate systems over time while russia had to keep using older and older shit with worse quality shells. > to get to 700k dead, we're talking about a ton of failed meatwaves across the entire front day in and day out. ukraine can only grab a couple dozen bodies every couple months in light of that?  it's 700k casualties, not dead. and we're talking about an active frontline about 600 miles long. russians have been pushing ukrainians so obviously ukrainians aren't going to be the ones recovering most russian bodies. > 16% of the bodies exchanged were from bakhmut according to that source, not a lot at all.  that's 1/3 of the bodies in donetsk where a majority of the fighting has been in the past year.  > i'm beginning to think you never read the leaks. they say that the numbers are questionable but it's what they have to go on. i'm starting to question if you have any braincells, every single source that isn't explicitly pro russian admits russia takes more casualties according to open source data due to their constant assaults.
