I'm not sure if you noticed or not, but there are very few photos of actually destroyed tanks, showing that ATGMs aren't that useful. The tanks are just abandoned if they break down or run out of fuel, in accordance with Russian doctrine. Russia is also losing less planes than US during Vietnam, and nobody thought Vietnam was winning.

Ukraine is actually using 1980's USSR gear for everything other than infantry weapons and it shows - their entire navy got sunk and they have no air to air kills.

Yeah, it works quite well for Russia... Oh wait!

Few members were arguing about this Oryx dude a couple dozen pages back, whether he is Turkish propagandist or not.

Well as long as he got his source proper and straight he is fine. His blog on losses are appears to be well sourced, people got butthurt about the loss of any side needs to accept that that is nature of war, there always attrition and side that makes shortcomings.

He can shout whatever he wants about how poorly Russia perform etc, and that's okay. He can only be discounted if he start lying or sharing false information and unwilling to rectify his mistake.

China : US policy of NATO expansion to the east played a major role in the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis, Chinese Foreign Ministry :

China's Friendship With Russia Is Rock Solid :

Chinese FM Wang Yi: China Russia relationship is valued for its independence. It is based on non-alliance, non-confrontation, non-targeting of any third party and free from interference or discord sown by third parties :

I got no problem with him nor about his blog as you mentioned it is well sourced.
But his Afghanistan list is either not updated or he lost interest!

The end results are, Ukraine is being invaded by a smaller army and they're unable to repel it. They're doing more and more desperate measures like releasing prisoners, flooding reservoirs and putting weapons near civilian buildings. That is not a sign of winning.

what oh wait? where's the oh wait?

At some point you need face reality especially after your early predicted easy win at the beginning of the war.

i would not even rate any part of the Ukrainian military

I would only rate the Ukrainian infantry

and I know in open warfare Russians with their superior Air Force bombers and aircraft would Clear the sky’s pretty quickly

however this is a urban fight and Russians know all about TB2, ATGM + MANPADS from
Various conflicts recently and yet they use wood trunks to protect vehicles and steel frames not even a trophy style defence system

they had 3 months to prepare and fuel and logistics still suffered

you cannot ignore some huge discrepancies
