One of the most interesting claims in a briefing thread that is worth reading. The 75% doesn’t refer to the entire Russian Army, but more specifically to its armored fighting arm, referred to Battalion Tactical Groups.

Why this estimate is so important is because it reveals the limited options Putin faces in trying to replace the losses suffered in Ukraine. He really only has one more throw of the dice once this army is exhausted. If he wants to go all in
After that remaining 25%, the other options get pretty frightening (chemical, biological, nuclear).
Or full societal mobilisation and the building of a new army, but that seems both societally and economically almost impossible, and would take an extremely long time (years).
