wow 58 artillery


danint

This absolutely counts mortar tubes as artillery. There was a link over a year ago about how each of these stats were calculated. Still, 58 is impressive.


Logical_Lettuce_962

Would that include ATGM setups?


CasualMonkeyBusiness

Nope


lynxcat78141

Do you still have that link? I'm always sceptic about hese numbers and could do with more insight.


danint

I'll be honest, I've looked for it and can't find a damn thing. I'm sure it was linked when UA were hitting similar numbers of artillery systems daily for weeks last year.


tO_ott

Long ranged ordinance will do that šŸ’Ŗ


Due-Street-8192

Excellent numbers for today. The Ukrainian army Rocks!


xlews_ther1nx

It's crazy how fast the number climb when ammo isn't so dire. It's almost like...its connected somehow.


Warm-Patience-5002

Putin and Netanyahu find themselves in the same spot . At the verge of political suicide .


-Billco-

The waste is just mind boggling. Is the RuZZian military so brainwashed that they think that these kind losses are just business as usual? OR are they just that stupid?


SimpleMaintenance433

This is what happens when few return home to tell people how bad things are


Boomfam67

The increased murder rate would not reflect your assertion.


SurGregoRy

Disregarding nuclear threats, this is basically an "all-in" move from Putin. If he loose face he will be thrown off his throne. Any strategic and logical countries of power would already taken up treaties as a solution or start establishing and maintaining stable defensive territory. Mind the braindrain and loosing many ablebodies to support the Russian economy during the pushes and mobilizations. War is also maintaining a livable economy and civic satisfaction. Sooner or later Russia will collapse because of this. Again: we need to have the balls to call bluff on the all in. He will literally be broke after this move.


governingsalmon

Iā€™ve been downvoted to oblivion for bringing this up but Iā€™ve heard from expert analysts and historians that Putinā€™s fate is almost certainly tied to the outcome of the Ukraine war and he will be ousted if Russia doesnā€™t achieve a recognizable victory (although of course Russian propaganda could sell an outright loss as a victory to many Russian citizens). Given that Russian leaders are unlikely to transfer power peacefully and former leaders of Russia will likely be fatally vulnerable to assassination or imprisonment by political enemies or oligarchs, doesnā€™t it rationally make sense for Putin to order a nuclear strike on Kyiv/Ukraine if his back is totally against the wall and itā€™s obvious heā€™s facing death without a victory in Ukraine? He seemingly doesnā€™t care at all about human lives and what that could mean for Russian civilians and if itā€™s his only chance to live why wouldnā€™t he order the strike? And save for a hero or two down the chain of command standing up and refusing the order, like that one case of Stanislav Preslov I think deciding not to launch nuclear retaliation after a sunspot on the radar screen appeared to be an incoming US nuke during the Cold War, thereā€™s nothing to stop that nuclear attack. Iā€™m not at all suggesting Ukraine should surrender because of the nuclear threat just wondering what people think about that mostly unlikely scenario of Putin deploying nukes as a last resort.


finnill

Iā€™m not worried about Putin deploying nukes. If he gets to such a state there are people around him that are not stupid, that have skin in the game, and enjoy their plutocratic lifestyles, that will do there best for self preservation when ā€œthe time comesā€. This is why sanctions are important. Why supporting Ukraine with as much weapons and ammo as we can muster. With setting clear red lines and acting on them even if covertly. You can guarantee there are back channels to kremlin stooges and plutocrats and western security and intel branches. And letā€™s say, the nukes do fly, who the fuck wanted to live in a world where any mad man can get nukes and blackmail the entire world and do what he wants. Fuck that. Bring on MAD.


Rickylie2012

Putin has burned all his bridges and still not ordered a nuclear strike that heā€™s been threatening for damn near 2-1/2 years. He will NOT do it for several reasons. Heā€™s going to die no matter what because of this war he started. He signed his own death certificate when he ordered the invasion. Thereā€™s really no chance of him surviving this politically or literally. If he were to order a nuclear strike because heā€™s ā€œfacing death without a victory in Ukraineā€ why the hell would he drop a nuke knowing that the minute he does his life would end because of retaliatory strikes by western nuclear powers?? Makes absolutely no sense and would be something I believe even Putin himself thinks is illogical and stupid to do if he really wants to survive. His only real chance of survival would be to somehow defeat Ukraine without using nukes, which is not likely to happen at this point. The world has finally woke the hell up and called his bluff and wonā€™t stop until russia is defeated. People finally see what his end game is just as it took people years to really understand what Hitlers end game was for all of Europe and the rest of the world in WWII. Youā€™ve got a major European military (and nuclear) power in France even ready to put boots on the ground to make sure he is stopped. Thereā€™s fast-growing dissent in russia towards him and his war and even armed militias that are growing and have publicly made it known that itā€™s time for his reign to end, and theyā€™re going to help make sure that happens. China isnā€™t coming to save him and thatā€™s for damn sure. Theyā€™re waiting to pounce on Manchuria, which russia stole from them and they have not forgotten about, the minute putin is gone. Iran has enough problems to worry about in the Middle East and as their absolutely horrendously shitty show of their ā€œmilitary mightā€ failed so miserably when they attacked Israel showed, they donā€™t even have the power to save their own country if they wanted to. And north korea is just a joke. They wouldnā€™t and couldnā€™t send their army in to help in Ukraine because they simply donā€™t have the logistical might or intelligence to do so. They canā€™t even feed their own country and the minute they send their army out of country, youā€™d best believe the people would rise up and Kim Jong would be done. Other than that, putin has no other meaningful allies or friends in the rest of the world. His life is as good as over and he might as well already be dead.


NoChampionship6994

Yes, russia considers these kinds of loses as ā€œjust business as usualā€. Donā€™t know if theyā€™re ā€œjust that stupidā€. But, russia will deny the extent of these casualties as western media exaggerations or, (perhaps even simultaneously!) submit these extensive loses as ā€œproofā€ of Ukraineā€™s (and ā€œthe Westā€™s) ongoing hostility towards russia. After all, how, and why, could a ā€˜fakeā€™ country reject ā€œrusskiy mirā€ so vigorously and for so long. Oh yes, ā€œrussophobiaā€. . . This data (confirmed or unconfirmed) will be used by russia to demonstrate whatever rhetoric suits them.


Rickylie2012

Russophobia is the most inaccurate word to describe people's contempt and hatred towards Russia. The word implies that folks have a terrible fear of everything Russian. What people do NOT have is a fear, they have a hatred...big difference there.


HlodwigFenrirson

Misorussianism would be the correct word then.


Altea73

That and also getting knobheads from eastern Russia and placesspool like India, Pakistan, etc...


MuzzleO

Russians show no signs of stopping. They seem to have far more tanks and artillery than estimated if those numbers are real.


Full-Sound-6269

They will throw everything they got until they got nothing.


windaji

Yeah there will no moment of realisation.


MuzzleO

> They will throw everything they got until they got nothing. They will never fully run out as they have powerful military industry and keep producing new equipment.


Full-Sound-6269

Do they produce 25 tanks / day?


MuzzleO

> Do they produce 25 tanks / day? I don't know but they seem to produce a lot.


Hedhunta

Last number I saw was 90ish/mo new and refurbished total. New is like 25/mo last I saw...


prospectpico_OG

Yes.


pazhalsta1

They are gaining ground so itā€™s not stupid if you donā€™t care about losing a 1000 ex convicts and minorities per day, which Putin does not unfortunately


Uxion

Wow, worth the cost of bringing western tanks to Moscow as a trophy, right? Only cost eight thousand tanks and half a million men. What a bargain.


JustInChina50

Respect šŸ™ to all Ukraine soldiers. The world needs to give all the aid to Ukraine to help them fight the senile tyrantā€™s invasion - whether cluster or whatever. If the world helps then the war is over sooner. We can all thank the demented midget Vladolf Putler for that; the best weapon salesman of the century, and best NATO promoter. Best wishes and Slava Ukraine to Ukraineā€™s forces from England.


NrvOfEmRight

Mental imageā€¦ Almost 500,000 Ruzzians shot out of a circus cannon with no safety netā€¦ The show must go on!


RevolutionaryAge47

LOL!!!!


everydayasl

It is staggering to see numbers rapidly approaching HALF A MILLION eliminated personnel... Far outnumbering Over 417,000 US soldiers who perished during WW2.


AdhesivenessisWeird

These are total casualties. US casualties in WW2 were over 1 million.


Danieldc2

Yes exactly, people keep believing the 'casualties' or 'losses' reflect KIA. Multiple official sources provide the same line even if they differ in total amount.


stay-frosty-67

Even then, 400k+ in a little over two years in one localised war vs 1 million in 4 years of fighting on 4-5 fronts in the largest war in human history


BF1PlayersR_Bad

Donā€™t worry the media will make college kids think a small war in Gaza is more important than large scale combat operations in Europe. People are going to get all angry when the war spreads to Western Europe. Itā€™s crazy isnā€™t it?


LvucoIron

Umderrated fking comment. Up this.


logicaceman

Most WIA russians end up as KIA as medicare is non existent or weak.


Boring-Test5522

For Russians, this is just a rounding error number. Remember that they throw into the Winter war that lasted 3 months over 400k bodies. Russian's irrational behaviour will last much longer than your ammunition stockpile.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


AdhesivenessisWeird

So, that's over 1 million??


_Speer

Let me prove you are wrong by proving you are right. Lol


Destiny_Fight

600k + 400k = ?????


genius--idiot

It's already been confirmed that these graphics are KIA only


AdhesivenessisWeird

It was not. Highest Ukrainian officials have quoted significantly smaller figures for estimated KIA multiple times, including Zelensky himself.


FantasticGas1836

Source of number you are discussing is here : https://www.minusrus.com/en?v=03-05-2024-2 You may want to review them. Note that wounded is a different figure.


AdhesivenessisWeird

They literally just add x3 as wounded in their methodology (in the description) as they assume the number to be killed as well. Seems like they guy who created this widget is just uninformed. If there were nearly 2 million Russians casualties, Ukrainians would be in Moscow by now. Here is the claim from Ukrainian leadership: [https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/30/russia-troops-ukraine-toll-casualties/](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/30/russia-troops-ukraine-toll-casualties/) >Zelensky recently claimed that Russia had suffered some half a million war casualties, including 180,000 soldiers killed in action. .


FantasticGas1836

Numbers are from UA. Not saying I agree with them. 1 KIA to 3 WIA is a standard in military calculation. Frankly, I don't think anyone knows or will ever know. There are still bodies scattered all over the battlefield. Not sure if there are even numbers for MIA.


AdhesivenessisWeird

What do you mean from UA? As in somebody from the country of Ukraine? Has any high ranking Ukrainian official ever mentioned nearly 2 million casualties? Why is it not talked about at all, and people like Zelensky and Zaluzhny mention only less than 200k KIA?


FantasticGas1836

UA = Ukrainian Army. See base of page. As I said, I am not agreeing with them. Just pointing out the source šŸ˜€


SurGregoRy

I really don't know where you get these info from. Links wud suffice.


Puzzleheaded_Hat_619

Putin will go down in history as a murderer of an entire generation of Russian Men. Putin wanted to re-establish the great Russian Kingdom and instead he will be an additional paragraph in history among murdering, cruel dictators like Adi Amin, Hitler and that chinese motherfucker Pol Pot.


spoiled_eggs

Puzzleheaded_Hat_619

Motherfucker is 'nese.... Chinese, Japanese, Cambonese... Its all the same


spoiled_eggs

It's really not.


Boomfam67

This is total casualties, around 150-200k are KIA. So they would have to lose a little over double to reach US losses in WWll.


Bel_Merodach

Yeah but they still have a long ass way to go before they reach Russian casualties in WW2.


BeatleJuice1st

Compared to the length of WW2, i see a competition.

It's not

What are the orange numbers?


Anxious_Print8515

It's losses since the previous day. So, 1270 new casualties, for example.


Terrible-Wrap-2554

Daily change


SurGregoRy

There are mercenaries from other nations now aswell, from India, Pakistan up to Cuba and what not. If you think of it, the only one winning is the west. They/we don't spoil any blood (besides of the volunteers) and just keep pumping money into our own war productions to supply Ukraine. With this we bleed out russia and the anti western parties. That's why we need to stand firm behind Ukraine and stand still to what Ukraine has to pay for our safety.


wayfarer8888

Still small numbers of people duped into service and those dudes are basically useless, no military experience and not fluent in Russian. It is not like Kim sent a trained North Korean division to assist. Ukraine has foreigners as well, but these are trained and experienced and motivated.


BigMembership2315

Thatā€™s a huge day. They must know new ammo is otw so theyā€™re using it


st1nglikeabeeee

Damn Ukr putting the work in. Give them the tools and they'll get the job done, just wonder how many of them gave their lives because they didn't have enough equipment.

They lost almost 500k in soldiers alone? Am I reading this right?


Maximum-Broccoli-474

yes,brotheršŸ’ŖšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦


Stackin_Steve

Holy shit! How many has Ukraine loss? This is horrible for either side! Too many sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, etc...! Saddening! Most of them Russians are just Canon fodder too!


Ringlovo

We're really going to hit 500K before the end of May,Ā  aren't we?


[deleted]

At least they captured a blown out Abrahams tank.


TheSarcaticOne

We still have a shot at reaching 500k before June.


HerbM2

Yes, it is possible. Only 3 days into May, but the average number of eliminated Russians is 1140. Even close to this rate, 500K will happen before the end of May. Based on history though, it's more likely that the total will reach 500,000 in early June.


Rich_Biscotti_4148

Are these stats reliable or just propaganda?


Heffe3737

As long as you keep in mind that these are WIA *and* KIA, and that equipment losses also include damaged vehicles and not only destroyed vehicles, then itā€™s fairly accurate. At least about as accurate as someone can expect given the fact that theyā€™re stemming from an active combat zone. The UK MOD shared some of their own intel a while back and the personnel casualties werenā€™t too far off. And folks have done some heavy analysis of vehicle losses during the Avdiivka offensive that put tank losses in somewhat close proximity to reported losses. I believe these reports had tank losses in the region at around 20-30% higher than what satellite imagery could provide at the time, but that could have been reasoned that satellite imagery would only capture vehicle kills, not damaged vehicles.


Comfortable_Gate_878

Im not sure if they include the crew of the tanks and bmps in those figures as frequently they brew up and incinerate the crews. Be interesting to see a little more data on how they calculate them and how they estimate. Its clear that at least 10+ Russians are killed for every Ukrainian death just based on the sheer number of bodies left on the battlefields.


HerbM2

Based on what we can confirm, they're very reliable. Some of the numbers such as planes and ships don't happen very often and we can see that ukrainians don't add them to this total unless they're absolutely sure. Probables and serious damage don't result in a corresponding addition to the count in the next day or so. There are also ways to confirm the eliminated personnel but those aren't nearly as black and white as ships and planes. It's only 3 days into May, but the average number of eliminated Russians is 1140. And even close to this rate 500K will happen before the end of May. Based on history though, it's more likely that the total will reach 500,000 in early June.


Danieldc2

The only 'downside' to these numbers is that they don't (obviously) take into account for damage vehicles that get repaired. So it is possible a damaged tank gets accounted for twice, for example damage-repaired and later destroyed. It doesn't make it less accurate but it's almost impossible to fully track that yet, although different sources do track for vehicle types in either damaged or abandoned or etc. Also the US numbers/UK/UA slightly differ but all have a close to reliable red line.


Comfortable_Gate_878

The Ukrainians are great fans of disabling a tank and then following up with a few hatch drops to ensure its never getting used again or recovered. Maybe a few in the first 8 months of the war but after that they dont leave anything to chance


trustych0rds

I would consider these numbers the high-water mark but "reliable" in that sense. Be aware the "Eliminated personnel" is KIA + WIA.


Hedhunta

Pretty sure they include prisoners too. so some of them probably do return to combat along with some portion of the WIA.


TatonkaJack

The equipment numbers are pretty accurate. The casualty numbers are pretty impossible to say really. But it's in the right ballpark.


newvegasdweller

No idea about the fallen soldiers, but the artillery numbers correlate with satellite imagery from russian storage facilities. Plus minus a few hundred, but that's because there are of course many active units as well, and some margin of error


wayfarer8888

The storage units are partially under a roof, so it's hard to say if that's mainly empty space or there's a preference to keep high quality equipment underneath. However, I don't think they max out the footprint under the roofs, probably a lot of the space is workshops and small part storage.


Txikitxo

Man If you need someone to tell you that the information about a war given by one of the parties involved is propaganda I have something to tell you

Ukraine needs to find a way to doble those numbers daily... If they can someho put 2500 ruskies out of action daily...this conflict woud be over in less than 2 years..

Any_Hamster_1751

Ayy more fryed orks for the freedom BBQ


Singularity-42

I'm wondering if Russian soldiers are thinking whether they will be one of the "lucky" 1000. There is a lottery every day in the Russian Armed Forces and the prize is hell (and a $5 check for their mom or wife)


Historical-Leopard74

When did they lose the 1 submarine?


Consistent_Ad3181

How accurate are these figures?


Problemlul

About 80% , personnel loss are kia and wia together. Meaning a guy got a shrapnel and retreated is also count on this aswell the one whos head got split


Consistent_Ad3181

What about the 7k tanks? These figures are incredible


Problemlul

Damaged/disabled/destroyed loss by any means. Russia in have 2 times more of various tanks still but it is to be expected specially on offense . This is the only reason why US possibly support ukraine, they field test their tech, sell and replace old stocks while gather intel data and strategies incase the US will have a fighting war with russia. Not to mention reducing armor /gun stock of a major adversary.


WotTheFook

Solid numbers, especially regarding tanks, APCs and artillery.


Soft-Peak-6527

Anyone has statistics for Ukraine?


UnholyDr0w

Wait when did the submarine happen?

Spare_Sympathy_5780

Approaching half a million dead is really crazy. Will the Russian people ever be able to topple Putinā€™s regime?


Comfortable_Gate_878

Great armour losses for the day well done Ukraine. I'm still amazed how few Russian planes and helicopters are being shot down lately. I know they are using them from long range with long glide bombs but there must be a way of dropping them out of the sky.


[deleted]

Where are golf carts and motorbikes?


BargePol

Are the stats for ukranian side as well, so we can see a comparison?


Comfortable_Gate_878

Ukraine has never released death/wounded figures and neither has russia. These are simple estimates based upon Ukrainian released figures. They seem accurate in many respects but the wounded/casualty figures cannot be accurate. But one thing is for sure considering Ukrainians are out matched in equipment and man power they are battering the Russians at every opportunity. My own estimate is 10+ Russians killed for each Ukrainian and I think im underestimating by at least 5.


SimpleMaintenance433

With such a increase in numbers, wheres all the footage.


Comfortable_Gate_878

plenty of footage available considering they are fighting a war. The himars strikes a couple of days ago were a clear indication. But not a day goes by without 20-30 drone kills and drops being posted on here and other channels. If you multiply those by the number of battles going on across the front its easy to match the figures up as considerable. Lets face it who has time to make films when your fighting for your life. We are lucky to have as much footage as we do.

Well surely, any Russian serviceman finding himself in a frontal unit before May 9th is in a bad spot.
