Plenty of intel there for the Russians. I wonder how much of this tech will find itself into next gen Russian tanks?
Shame these vehicles don't have demolition charges the crew can set before they bail, assuming they managed to bail of course.

So far I have not seen any imagery of Russians trying to escape over the border (I'm sure it is happening), while there is plenty of evidence of Ukrainian men doing the same.
You seem to think it's like a game of Risk, where 8 armies always beat 2 armies. If that was the case Putin would have been in Kiev long ago. These particular figures are intelligence estimates for Russian losses - nothing more. Those reading them can draw whatever conclusions they want from them. If you detect UK favouritism towards Ukraine, have a banana - the UK is Ukraine's ally and is certainly not going to release intelligence on their losses. If you don't want to believe the figures, or want to compare them to some other statistics, that's up to you.

Today, a Russian citizen murdered two Ukrainians in Murnau, Bavaria, Germany.

The details have to be clarified but the Russian stabbed them. One died at the crime scene near a shopping center, the other one in a hospital. The Russian was arrested by the Criminal Police (Kripo) and charged with murder.

Which goes back to my post in the iron dome thread, that and the fire bombing of the Ukraibian facility in the U.K.

Let’s face it, proxy or not, by supporting Ukraine in this war we are in effect fighting against Russia and I cannot understand why we are STILL ALLOWING Russians into Europe, and why those here are not being vetted and deported as needed. It is pure stupidity.

If there was ever a reason to deport the Russians, the killed Ukrainians were in Europe for treatment for limb injuries, typical Russian sh*t, pick on people that probably couldn’t fight back, I hope he dies in prison and not some nice cosy one.

The killed men are soldiers who were in Germany to receive treatment for severe limb injuries

Here is a juicy target for a swarm of ATACMS, once completed and full of orc equipment.
