Imagine still guzzling propaganda uncritically after two whole years. If any of this was true, Russia would've collapsed long ago as the west was hoping.

Visually confirmed losses.

LMFAO using oryx as proof of anything, these clowns have been completely discredited and yet here we have you still guzzling propaganda out of a firehose. https://archive.ph/a1ID3

Visually confirming thousands of destroyed pieces of equipment while avoiding duplicates is hard and mistakes will be made. They're corrected as they're found.

You're happily felching Kremlin propaganda.

Kremlin propaganda matches reality. Yours doesn't.

Enjoy the copium while it lasts.

Yes, visually confirming the same pieces of equipment over to convince gullible people of what they already want to believe. My favorite part about oryx is how they stopped reporting losses once Ukraine ran out of old Soviet equipment that they couldn't pass off as Russian losses. All of a sudden when Ukraine started using primarily western equipment, oryx decided it was time to step away. 😂

If these figures had any basis in reality, Russia would've collapsed a long time ago. The fact that you genuinely believe that Russia lost tens of thousands of pieces of military hardware along with the trained troops that operated them, and it's still somehow winning shows that you're utterly incapable of rational thought.

Russia had the equipment (and a lot more) to lose. It’s quite realistic.

How you can consider a two year war where none of the original goals have been met a success is beyond me.

Russia has paid an enormous cost for very little in the way of gains. They haven’t even regained the land they retreated from in 2022.

But by all means. Keep cheering on Putin sending his people into a meat grinder in his pathetic 20th century war of conquest.

We're talking about manpower here. It literally takes years to train an effective tank crew for example. If Russia was losing troops and equipment at the rate you imagine, then they'd be out of trained soldiers real fast.

What goals weren't met, please cite goals that Russia set that aren't being met.

By all means keep believing nonsense if that helps you cope.

Taking over the whole country in 3 days of course. I know this to be true because the media says it is.
