Mr. Putin should be congratulated on his massive miscalculation
Finland, Sweden joining the NATO is a logical step. Putin sees nazi everywhere.
Thing has changed, nobody can trust Russia. Siemens packs and leaves after 170 years. Putin can say good bye to HSR. Siemens will probably build Hsr in Ukraine instead.

That's very valuable info indeed. What it proves is the limit of losses at which Russians will keep a unit in the field.

Many fully functioning T72s are reported to chill deep behind the front lines because Russians pulled the unit for R&R.

What we see here, it's more or less consistent with Russian doctrine — 50% loss limit. 1st GTA was pulled back, and given spare T80s in late March.

We also know few units been reported to be completely annihilated to the last vehicle, so we can do a subtractive count of written off units.

1st GTA was likely deemed too valuable to let to fight to death, and that's why it was let to fall back.

Other cannon fodder armour units were left to fight to the last man around Sumy, and Chernihiv until near complete annihilation.

Also this confirms again: Russia has tanks in auxiliary units too. And this is explaining cases of 1-2 separate tanks being spotted in odd units. These are tanks of auxiliary battalions, which exist in the level of Russian divisions, and corps — certainly a leftover from USSR military structure. These were to do errands for unit HQs if enemy were to descend on supply lines, HQs themselves, or division's signal units.

So besides losing tanks from frontline units, Russia lost tons of armour in auxiliary, and normally behind the line units.
 
That’s a bitter end after 32y. McDonald sells all business and leaves Russia. 1,000 foreign companies follow.


Back to Goulash and Golubtsy for Comrade Russia it seems ...

Analysis: Neutral Switzerland leans closer to NATO in response to Russia​


There is no military need for Switzerland to join given its geography and how it is hidden behind a wall of NATO defence.
