Well Tllwd. It is ex Soviet v ex Soviet afterall. Maybe Ukraine treats it's troops the same way? Maybe Russia just has a superior bombardment aspect.
I do know that the majority of Russian troops are not fully equipped, while some like Wagner, are exceptionally equipped. From what I saw during my thankfully short stay (for work). Ukrainians are well equipped with the modern gimmicks. But I was nowhere near the front lines, where it might be a different story. Though I was told often, that they too had the latest bells and whistles. This contradicted the fact that I was often told also that the Soldiers were in short supply of everything, even soldiers. The poverty there is incredible. Men return back from the front for leave and well, the abuse on their women is disgusting. Savages fighting savages. That's what the war is there.
Slavic people from Russia and Ukraine generally have a screw missing -
they are exceptionally savage even to their own comrades.
Stalin sacrificed 25 million of his own people to beat the Germans.
He forced soldiers to fight at gun point from positions at the rear -
any retreating Russians were shot.
Stalin used meatwave attacks just like both sides now and
of course just like the battle of the Somme in WW1.

Hi Tallo -the losses are all top secret but anyway -
what were the Russian losses?
Different authorities agree at about 1 Russian to 10 Ukrainian.
Bullshit - I hear the opposite on YouTube videos.
Both sides make up bullshit stories -
the truth is that both sides
are losing huge numbers of soldiers and equipment.
My bet is that they have both lost at least half a million men each.
It is fairly certain that the Russians have lost at least 3,500 tanks -
some say they have lost 650,000 men - all dead.
It's like the Battle of the Somme in WW1 - trench warfare.
50:55
600,000 Ukrainian dead soldiers, over a million casualties. And remember that they haven't had the effective medical
51:02
evacuation and treatment that exists on the Russian side. The Russians have had probably 50,000 dead,
51:09
although some claim less, some claim more. I would certainly say 50,000.
51:14
You might come up with numbers for 55 to 60,000, particularly if you look at the Donetsk and
51:21
Luhansk militias and perhaps Kadyrov's Chechen forces, it might, it might go to 60, 63,000.
