As I’ve suggested for awhile, there is a worsening of the Russian KIA vs. WIA ratio, due to a lack & systemic breakdown of medical evac, the people and armored vehicles required to do it, wounded not being sent to hospitals, as they go AWOL, used instead in wave assaults, increasing drones w/ multiple strikes on target, etc.

Telenko puts the current KIA vs. WIA ratio as MUCH worse than WW1 levels, with herds of PIGS having learned, Pavlovian-style, that if they hear FPVs, that means food.

      Pretty much any pig is a man eating pig, from my understanding. They’ve been used to dispose of bodies before.

          We need disclaimers and tags to receive humor. Without those everything must be interpreted as negative-serious and most importantly malicious. For joking you would use /j and serious /s

            Sentence structure sometimes is obvious. “You want ___. Because this is how you get ___” is a known gag format.

              Important note: It’s pronounced “tin-ih-tus,” not “tin-eye-tis.” I assume the resemblance to the common medical suffix “-itis,” meaning “inflammation of,” is the reason it’s commonly mispronounced.

              See, no tags. I can’t tell if you are explaining something to me or calling me a moron so I have no choice but to assume you are trashing my existence

                When in doubt, be charitable. If you go around interpreting things uncharitably to get offended, you’re gonna have a bad time.

                  I can see my lampooning of the sarcasm tags backfired and my sarcasm was taken seriously because I didn’t use tags.

    Jesus fucking Christ if those numbers are close to reality that’s fucking horrific. Fuck rich men and fuck their stupid petty wars. Leave Agamemnon to cry in his fucking tent on his own and go to the beach fuck.

    One can only hope that the war ends in Russia’s defeat to stop the senseless loss of lives for the ego of a fat, old man.

      Anecdotal, but I have seen videos of Ukrainian soldiers evacuating their wounded and even Russian POWs while under active shelling. In one helmet cam video they entered a burning and partially collapsed building under artillery fire to dig a squad member out from under the rubble.

      On the other hand, I’ve seen more than one instance of Russians throwing their own wounded out of moving vehicles to go faster or just straight up shooting each other after an injury.

      It essentially boils down to the motivations and relationships within UA’s and RU’s armies and not to the nature of this war.

      Seems deliberate. Russia does not value soldier’s lives. As the OP said, they had better WIA evac in friggin’ WW1! Certainly, if it was just the nature of the war, Ukraine would be sporting similar numbers.
