    But the US isn't production new tanks either. Although they have a lot of M1s in stock, over 8k pieces. They update some of them, but not much.

    The real question should be why do we see tanks operating w/o infantry support. 
    On the russian side, instead of using foot soldiers loitering around tanks they use drones for better situational awareness.

    Sometimes it´s getting ridiculous. There were videos about trench warfare (russian side clearing some Ukro defence lines)
    with 5 soldiers doing the hard work and another 3 or 4 standing around a few hundred metres away operating drones. If this
    continues there will be more drone operators than infantry soldiers soon.

    Why is it going so slow?
    Bakhmut first.

    Kyiv to form 8-10 new heavy brigades with combat vehicles from the USA and the West.
    Why do they need more brigades? What happend to the ones they had?
    The western MSM is telling us they are winning.

    Jokes aside. The promised vehicles are enough for 2 - 3 brigades.
    But the stuff will be delivered in the next 6 to 8 months or even in 2024.
    This means the brigades won´t be ready at the same time.
    But where to get the manpower? More Polish volunteers?

    General Yevkurow, deputy minister of defense, visiting a direct frontline.
    In regular field uniform, with a long weapon assigned, guided by the Apti.

    As Apti tried to be showmen a bit, he was stood corrected by the general : better you keep the sector surveillance!



    The General's son died in May 2022 in battle.

    Edit : I have made a fast check of the info above, and it seems to be a bullshit. First it is nit his son but nephew called, and all the info are coming from UK based shitspreaders and Ukro sources.

    Kyiv admitted that they are paying the highest price for keeping Artemivsk, by Alexandra Yudina for VZGLYAD. 02.03.2023.

    Ukraine pays the highest price for keeping Artemivsk in the DPR, Podolyak, adviser to Zelensky's office, told the Spanish newspaper 20 minutes.

    Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of Vladimir Zelensky's office, refused to name the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artemivsk, but said that Ukraine "pays dearly" for holding the city, RIA Novosti reports .

    The adviser to the presidential administration added that he could not name the "human losses" for holding the city, but Kyiv "cannot leave it behind."

    Artyomovsk is located in the Kyiv-controlled part of the DPR north of the large city of Gorlovka - it is an important transport hub for supplying the Ukrainian group of troops in the Donbass.

    The DPR reported that since Thursday evening, additional reserves of the armed forces of Ukraine have  been concentrating  near Artemovsk.

    The head of the National Guard Zolotov announced an increase in the number of "mercenaries" from Europe in the special operation zone, by Vasily Koshkin for Rossiskaya Gazeta. 02.03.2023.

    The number of "mercenaries" from European countries fighting on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is growing. This was stated by the head of the National Guard Viktor Zolotov during a trip to the Crimea and the Kherson region.

    "They (mercenaries. - Approx. ed.) have significant experience in participating in armed conflicts in various countries of the world, and appropriate training," the ministry's press release says .

    Zolotov stressed that the employees of the Russian Guard "demonstrate higher professionalism and training."

    Earlier, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation noted that representatives of 54 countries take part in hostilities on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. "The most active countries in this part are: Great Britain, the USA, Canada, Israel, France, Sweden, Georgia, Finland, Poland and Lithuania," the ministry said.

    A more realistic source that I was reading mentioned for Russia about 20000 dead and another 30000 between missing or seriously injured and incapable of returning to service.

    (For the ucraine we are talking about one order of magnitude more)

    I am not sure if this are the total numbers including also Wagner and Chechens or if those losses are not taken into account here.

    Yes it seems quite small but apparently it is a two stage missile - that could be just the front end?
    One other probability could be some air launched decoy/ECM missile?

    .... or just the small cruise announced, that can be carried on the revolver racks at double the number like Ch-15 used to be carried.

    You said that like it was a major accomplishment. They took the airport over from our Army. Didn't have to fight for it. It just gave Russia some bargaining power. Probably, got some loans under the table to remove the troops. Classic Yeltsin time move.

    Russia about 20000 dead
    The BBC came up with this number. Or in reality with 12.000 "russian" KIA´s (which implies that it includes all forces taking part on the russian side)
    So the BBC spend weeks, invested a huge number of employees and a lot of money to come up with this number but than adds that the "real" number
    has to be higher by 50 - 60%.
    scratch
    The claim the monitored burial sides but did they exclude soldiers, guards men and others that died outside of the SMO zone or during exercises?
    Or is some sailor that drowned of the coast of Sakhalin in an accident included in this numbers?
    Or the passenger of an helicopter crashing in the Arctic do to bad weather?
    Or even the mobilized killed during that terror attack on their base in Siberia?

    You could claim the last mentioned soldiers should be included even if they were not part of the SMO (not yet?) but on the other hand the
    Americans didn´t even count all the mercenaries and contractors working for the military/government getting killed in Afghanistan or Iraq.
    Or even wounded soldiers dying later in hospitals in Germany or the US.

    Footage of the new Russian "trench" defense system against small UAVs.
    Ukrainian soldiers have already begun to complain about the effective operation of such countermeasure systems such as Starling, Strizh-3, Harpoon and similar ones in their social networks.
    The principle of operation is simple: the detector of the system detects the drone and lets it get closer, where electronic warfare jammers are switched on from an effective distance, preventing the enemy drone from escaping from the impact zone.
