Massive losses all around for the Russians, but at least they didn't lose another sub.
Numbers such as the ones we see today, seems to me to confirm that the quality of Russian forces has declined.

44 tanks O_o that must be some sort of record.
Either they are just getting worse (seems logic), or maybe they are trying for some advancement, like any advancement because the "generals" desperately needs one. Maybe both.
The Avdiivka offensive is a major one, Russia is now also starting up attacks on the whole east line.
Yes I heard about that just now, seems they doesn't make any progress at all (except some 20m in a field or something).
Le dernier sursaut avant la mort as we say here in France? (Last "jump" before death)
how much competent or well trained tank drivers they still have?
They're running low on frontline skills in every way but gaining commander skill. All the guys they spent 8 years to train since Crimea until 2022 are just gone but instead they have tons of commanders/officers with real life experience.
The problem the Ruscists have with tank drivers is that they vanish without a trace with every turret toss of their Soviet-type tank. And they have taken down most of the Soviet training facilities and capabilities. That's why Ruscist tank drivers often lack proper training.
I just love every time the artillery destruction is large. They are the backbone of Russia's doctrine. The less exist, the less skilled crew for them exist, the less Russia will be able to continue their war of conquest.
That is not to overshadow the massive Russian losses across the board today though!
350,000 by Christmas... that's some heavy losses over the last 6 weeks. Unbelievable

350000 dead? I had no idea it was that high, that feel so impossible
