Dude, you NEITHER work for the Ukrainian or the Russian. So again, what good can your "estimate" gets? Unless you are claiming you have some sort of inside information only privvy to both Party, which I doubt you do,Well, classical trenchy. If you dont know or even estimate how many died or wounded already, then you dont know what capacity the enemy has left. And that can make things really bad for your own troops.
In BDA we are taught to see how many reserve are being brought up, how many resource are being retained to make the best estimated number.
On the other hand, first of all, the entire Ukrainian armed force is probably around 700,000-800,000 strong, that number is based on the weapon supplied by the West and the reported stock at the beginning, couple with the list of active units, how much their logistic based, and how quickly they can be move and remove from battle by tracking their movement over in OSINT. Any more than 800,000 you are looking at these people will be fighting the Russian with their hand and fist. So they won't be able to sustain 350,000 loss and 800,000 + wounded. because you will need to defend EVERY part of the country, just because the battle is in the east does not mean you don't need troop to hold guard on every other front. Then you couple that with Russian inability to make gain, that mean whatever number killed for the Ukrainian they are still having similar number to the Russian, and we know from fact that they just put 300k mobilised men on the front, reality may be more but let's say it's just 300,000, so you are at least looking at that many defender so that Russia is not making big progress anywhere, couple with the troop Ukraine need to defend the entire country, if they have 350000 killed and 800000+ wounded, you are looking at a force at least 3 million strong. Which we know from the onset of war, there are only around 240,000. You are talking about expending 15 times the number in 11 months, that's not possible, even for more resourceful Russia.
But then, what I type is still BS, because no one but the Ukrainian knows their true strength, and I doubt they will tell anything about that to NATO, let alone you or me. So yes, you can go believe whatever number killed, that is nothing but a feel good number. that's why i have said many time, I don't do number, as it is pointless and that goes for both side.
And this is yours
