These RU loss charts of equipment & personnel are questionable, but if they are even close to reality they are significant.
In 2007-9, I commanded the @1stArmoredDiv, 1 of 5 “heavy” divisions (10 total active divisions) in our Army.
Here’s how those losses would compare 1/8

The 5 US Army divisions that have tanks contain from 101 up to 303 tanks, because US division vary from 1 to 3 armored brigades.
That’s hard for civilians to understand, but each Division is organized for different missions. 2/

Current US Army divisions have from as few as 15,000 Soldiers (in a division of only two Armored Combat Arms Brigades) to well over 20,000+ Soldiers (in Divisions where there are four ACABs). 3/
A US aviation brigade (CAB) has a combination of attack/reconnaissance helicopters (AH-64 Apache), medium-lift helicopters (UH-60 Black Hawk), heavy-lift helicopters (CH-47 Chinook), aerial MEDEVAC & drones.
Great organizations, w/ “about” 100 aircraft total. 4/

These are three comparisons between US & RU organizations. If these UKR charts are close to accurate, one can see the significant loss of combat power & personnel RU has sustained in 20 days.
This is the lethality of conventional war, different than fighting an insurgency. 5/

Add UKR’ military equipment & personnel loss in their Army & territorial forces & the tragic death of 1000s of civilians due to RU’s scorched earth approach. The toll is devastating.
It’s on Putin. He is destroying his own military while causing horrific suffering in UKR. 6/

From a military & strategic perspective, RU has already lost.
As I said a week ago, RU offensive operations will soon culminate due to losses & lack of supplies. They will then go on the defense, with continued artillery destruction of towns. 7/

Any continuation of this campaign by Putin will only result in more loss and continues suffering…on both sides.
RU Army in UKR will go from being defeated to destroyed. Putin is a military & strategic moron who should be held accountable for war crimes. 8/8
