Rocketry, occasional trolling, not a state operative

The scale of #Russian equipment losses in #Ukraine is truly unimaginable. According to @oryxspioenkop, 2041 Russian tanks have been visually confirmed as destroyed or captured thus far through various OSINT sources. If we were to stack them on top of each other assuming an average height of 2.2 meters (for a T-72 tank) they would reach a height of 4.55 kilometers - this is a conservative figure. This also only covers tanks, and does not include the other 8617 lost pieces of heavy equipment, including 2402 IFVs. Source for figures:

@cage_john33226 @Michenlar @Cappyarmy Everyone knows this mate

[Rocket Archive @RocketArchive]

@cage_john33226 @Michenlar @Cappyarmy The figure refers to total combat casualties, combining both killed, wounded troops, MIA, etc., its a nuance of translation

[Rocket Archive @RocketArchive]

@cage_john33226 @Michenlar @Cappyarmy Now that's just a strawman, no one said anything about "1.5m eliminated Russians", I'm saying higher ranking Russian personnel get buried, you think, for example, any significant portion of the 20k killed Wagner mercs killed at Bakhmut got any? The 450,000 figure stands

@xiphos480 @fbfanforlife @Cappyarmy ??

@cage_john33226 @Michenlar @Cappyarmy Well, over 9000 officers are confirmed to have been killed in Ukraine, and these are just confimed numbers, more than likely these are who gets a cemetery spot.

[Rocket Archive @RocketArchive]

@traveler_011 @Michenlar @Cappyarmy Youre right, im coping and Ukrainian KIA are actually 35:1, making the total 15 million, based on exchange of bodies. The GUR paid me 1500 hryvna not to reveal all this.

@franfran2424 Well, they didn't, they were just sourced from Russian state registries, take for example the case of Мирхаитов Гуломджон Турсунмуродович, which can be found as having an inheritance record in Russia’s public Probate Registry, on Media Zona says "Confirmed via state registries"

@WojtekStab @AMK_Mapping_ no one said it equals anything, but what you claimed is false. Ukraine didn't hit just one refinery, it hit 8 refineries in the span of just 11 days, these had a combined refining capacity of around 100 million tons. these strikes are, of course, significant

[Rocket Archive @RocketArchive]

@franfran2424 @SvyazInveZtor Okay no problem, so why don't you verify it yourself? I will start for you, with Tashkinov Dmitry Petrovich, with an archive link attached, that shows his obituary on VK. There are 285880 more just like it

[Rocket Archive @RocketArchive]

@SvyazInveZtor Very strange scenario to be imagining about another person, are you getting emotional?

[Rocket Archive @RocketArchive]

@Kagetorah92 @Cappyarmy holy bot reply

[Rocket Archive @RocketArchive]

@SvyazInveZtor if anything, sounds like youre coping my man

[Rocket Archive @RocketArchive]

@SvyazInveZtor how is it a cope? Media Zona uses sources from the Russian internet, sometimes people are considered missing in action for years before they are declared KIA, not to mention time it takes to process records. The 280,000 are confirmed deaths through state records and obituaries.

@US_China_Menu @Cappyarmy yeah, but take the Trump example, dude got elected on the premise that he would end wars and also bring peace in Ukraine, one of his promises was ending the war within 24 hours - obviously, this turned out to be the opposite, but atleast the midterms can somewhat correct it

[Rocket Archive @RocketArchive]

@Kagetorah92 @Cappyarmy I think you are having a tough time grasping the point, if the Russians tolerate 450,000 KIA (this number is certainly higher with mercs, LPR/DPR, MIAs), without a single bit of public revolt or outrage, then they will do so at 4.5 million

@WojtekStab @AMK_Mapping_ just signals

[IgorGirkin @GirkinGirkin]

"Rosneft has limited the volume of gasoline and diesel fuel sales at its gas stations in all regions of Russia.

... the restrictions are in effect throughout the country."

[Rocket Archive @RocketArchive]

@Kagetorah92 @Cappyarmy its a hypothetical

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Good to see corruption is being dealt with
