What a load of crap.There's going to be some differences in perception and belief at play here. But I'll give you my impressions and answers.And speaking of Stockholm syndrome. I keep asking all of you the same question and you keep avoiding it.
How come Russia who has advantage in everything and who for the most was on defensive can have 10 times (according to you) higher losses? Are we that stupid and incompetent? If so, then why do you care for Russia to stop all of this?
First off, I don't think Russia has nearly as much of an advantage as you seem to think. The count of soldiers reported is probably pretty reasonable. But the estimates of firepower, combat readiness, and the capabilities of your country's planes, tanks, and boats is overstated. Some of this is a matter of generals who are probably lying to Putin, who is then exaggerating what he's been told when he tells the rest of the world. Some of it also going to be a disconnect between Russian capabilities and US capabilities - for example, Russia talks about the SU-57 as being a 5th gen stealth aircraft. But what Russia means by 5th gen and what the US means by 5th gen don't seem to be the same thing. And what Russia means by stealth versus what the US means by stealth aren't the same thing. We can see the SU-57 - the radar cross section is a whole lot bigger than Russia seems to believe. Some of that is because Russian stealth technology isn't as good as US stealth technology, and some of it is because US radar technology is better than Russia is aware of. At the end of the day, what you're being told about your country's military prowess is overstated.
Secondly, I don't think that the Russian people as a whole are stupid or incompetent. I don't even think that Russian military personnel are stupid or incompetent. Rather, I think that those service members have been misinformed by their leaders - both about the capabilities of the people they're facing as well as what capabilities their own equipment has.
Lastly, most Americans don't have anything at all against the Russian people. We don't even really have anything against Russian military service members. We have a problem with Putin, and with the actions that he has taken. Honestly, we'd be quite happy if he would halt his aggression and save a bunch of Russian lives.
Do you understand that Ukrainians claim that they have 10 to 1 kill ratio? Their new commander Sitrsky just said that.
The one who has his whole family in ..... Russia.
Ukro regime is lying through their teeth about state of the war.
They have to.
You keep talking about Su-57, and it's not even used in this war. Your Abrams tank is useless garbage, even worse than german leopard-2. M1 is utter shit, It can not be used at all. It requires air-filter change every 30 freaking minutes.
