The magic of numbers. How many APU vehicles were destroyed

290

The numbers of destroyed Ukrainian equipment and Ukrainian aircraft are growing day by day, and have already significantly exceeded the number of weapons that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had in stock at the time of the start of the military operation in Ukraine. Let's try to figure out where these numbers come from, and how much equipment has really been destroyed since the start of the NWO.

At a briefing by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on July 15, General Igor Konashenkov said on the destruction of 253 aircraft, 137 helicopters, 1 UAVs, 543 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 746 MLRS, 3 field artillery pieces and mortars. Let's compare these figures with what Ukraine had at the time the military operation began.



According to official data from the same Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, at the time of the military operation, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had 152 aircraft, 149 helicopters, 36 Bayraktar TB2 UAVs, 2 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 416 MLRS, 535 field artillery pieces and mortars.

That is, it turns out that at this time, the RF Armed Forces have not only destroyed all the weapons available to Ukraine at the time of the start of the NMD, but also a huge amount of Western weapons. Then why does Ukraine still have aviation, Soviet MLRS and Soviet tanks, a large number of UAVs?

Ukrainian aviation is completely destroyed?


Let's start with aviation.

Readers, I believe, know about the statement of Igor Konashenkov on March 6 that “practically all combat aviation of the Kyiv regime has been destroyed”. At the same time, the fact that Ukrainian planes still continue to fly in the sky of Ukraine is a well-known fact. "Yes, how many are there?" you ask skeptically. This, except for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, no one knows, but we see that the planes are making sorties, for example, trying to intercept Russian cruise missiles. While, following the figures of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation about 253 downed aircraft, it turns out that they should not be in the sky of Ukraine.

Comparing the numbers “was” and “destroyed”, the question arises: where did Ukraine get another 101 aircraft from? Of course, the first thing that can be assumed in this case is that Western countries delivered aircraft to Ukraine. However, apart from News There is no official information about the fact that the West handed over to Ukraine a certain number of dismantled Su-25 aircraft.

My colleague in his article "Ukrainian Air Force: phoenixes from the ashes or something else?”, written back in early June, suggested that Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria could supply about 40 aircraft to Kyiv. The Ukrainians could repair something from the number of decommissioned aircraft. And he noted that in addition to 115 aircraft (according to his information, this is how many serviceable aircraft the Armed Forces of Ukraine had at the time of the start of the SVO), another hundred could be added.

Despite the fact that the number 100 looks, in my opinion, overpriced, we add. It turns out 215 aircraft. While, according to the Ministry of Defense, 253 were shot down, and at the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not run out of them.

The answer to the question of where this figure came from and what this figure is based on hangs in the air.

The same is true with the downed drones. At the moment, according to Konashenkov, 1 drones have been shot down in Ukraine (a very impressive figure, you will agree), including about a hundred Bayraktars. At the same time, at the time of the start of the SVO, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had 543 UAVs of this type. Kyiv received about 36 more devices from Turkey after the start of the military operation. To this we can add another dozen drones of this type, purchased from Turkey by third countries and transferred to Ukraine.

It turns out that the RF Armed Forces shot down all the Bayraktars that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had. However, the Ukrainian military continues to use Bayraktars in the combat zone.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have no tanks and armored vehicles left?


There are also questions about the number of destroyed armored vehicles - according to the Ministry of Defense, 4 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed out of 060 available at the beginning of the NMD. Where does such a large number come from? Let's figure it out.

How many vehicles did the Armed Forces of Ukraine receive from Western "partners"? From the data of the Kiel Institute of the World Economy, which cover the period from January 24 to June 7, as well as from official statements by Western officials, it follows that since the beginning of the year, the Armed Forces of Ukraine received 252 Soviet-type tanks, 40 tanks manufactured by NATO countries (promised for delivery), up to 395 armored vehicles, 147 units of other armored vehicles. The total is 834 tanks and armored vehicles.

In July, Kyiv probably received some more pieces of equipment. If we divide the figure 834 by 4 months of the SVO, it turns out that Ukraine receives about 208 pieces of equipment per month. Let's add this figure to 834, we get 1. This is the total number of tanks and armored vehicles received by Kyiv from Western countries. Let's add this figure to 042, we get 2. With the data of the Ministry of Defense about 416 tanks and armored vehicles destroyed.

Thus, it turns out that all Ukrainian heavy equipment has been destroyed (even “with a margin”), and the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot continue hostilities. In reality, however, we see a completely different picture.

It is rather difficult to answer the question of how much heavy equipment the Armed Forces of Ukraine have actually lost since February 24, if we disregard the figures of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Some portals that count the destroyed equipment in the military conflict in Ukraine estimate the loss of Ukrainian equipment (tanks and armored vehicles) at 1 units, but it is difficult to say how reliable these data are.

About information policy (instead of conclusions)


We do not know what methods the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation uses when counting the destroyed military equipment and combat aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, these methods raise serious questions regarding the reliability of the announced figures. If the numbers on the number of weapons destroyed, given by General Konashenkov, corresponded to reality, then the Ukrainian army should no longer exist as such.

In general, there are certain questions about information policy. Giving data on the amount of destroyed equipment that is not entirely true, the press service of the Moscow Region, first of all, shoots itself in the foot, because it does not present itself in the best light. While many Russians tend to take Konashenkov's words for granted, Western partners do not. Western intelligence (the same MI-6) is well aware of the real state of affairs, both in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, so it is difficult to deceive them in such a simple way.

Engaging in capping, voicing close to fantastic numbers of destroyed equipment and weapons of the enemy, according to the principle voiced by the legendary General Alexander Suvorov “write more, why spare their busurman!”, It seems to be an irresponsible decision in the current situation. It does a lot of harm, but little benefit.

    While many Russians tend to take Konashenkov's words for granted, Western partners do not.
    This is how it is done for the people. The government decided it would be best for itself to keep him in the dark. And what is the point of making reports for Western partners - in principle, it is not very clear, they will still rely on their intelligence.

            In general, the military, in principle, are not required to report to any civilian about their actions, inactions, successes, losses, plans and intentions. And if the Ministry of Defense instructed its representative to somehow inform the public, then this is solely out of indulgence for idle curiosity. Those who need it get acquainted with top secret data in accordance with the clearance, and the opinion of those who do not need it is monopenisual to the Ministry of Defense - this does not affect the fighting in any way ...

            This is one of the biggest problems of the Russian army.
            Subordinates report to their commanders
            real numbers, but what are those want to hear.
            For which they receive promotions and awards.
            And so - to the very top vertically.
            And the Kremlin gets a completely distorted picture
            happening at the front.
            And since there is no Internet there (at the very top - so as not to be "hacked"), and honest advisers were fired for honesty a long time ago, then inflated numbers
            are taken as facts, and on their basis are given
            orders down to the front.

              Don't talk nonsense. Such problems exist in absolutely any army (suffice it to recall the gigantic personal accounts of German tank and aviation aces). That is why in any army there are parallel-cross methods of checking information. But for couch experts, this is too complicated - they need explanations that are primitive, like a cow's moo, understandable to any pioneer and pensioner.

              I doubt it though. I will not say, but it seems to me that for every tank, armored personnel carrier and other military equipment, such as an airplane, helicopter, etc., there is a price list for bonuses. And in order to receive this award, it is necessary to present evidence. Therefore, I believe that the army knows exactly, within reasonable limits, how much, what and where specifically ... And the numbers announced by Konashenkov are for "jackets"
              I'm not sure that Konashenko is doing the right thing by giving a dumb figure.

          If the author had not sought to “catch” the Ministry of Defense in a lie, then he would have easily found an explanation for the inconsistencies.

          And that Soviet aircraft can only be obtained in Eastern European countries!?
          It is impossible to buy in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, in the former republics of the Union?
          In addition, the author forgets about a simple way to get combat aircraft. We take, for example, a training aircraft (such as L-39 or another), hang blocks of nurses or bombs on it, and here you have a combat aircraft. Having destroyed which our Defense Ministry quite legally puts a tick on itself: a combat aircraft has been destroyed.
          Using the methods described above, Ukraine may well receive several hundred more combat aircraft. And they will be shot down/destroyed on the ground.

          Quote from: nik-mazur
          Let's add this figure to 2, we get 416. With the data of the Ministry of Defense about 3 tanks and armored vehicles destroyed.

          Thus, it turns out that all Ukrainian heavy equipment has been destroyed (even “with a margin”), and the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot continue hostilities. In reality, however, we see a completely different picture.


          Well, with tanks and armored vehicles, in general, everything is simple.
          After the collapse of the Union, Ukraine got a huge fleet of tanks. Most of which was mothballed and therefore not included in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. With the outbreak of hostilities, this equipment began to hastily be restored, take part in hostilities and be destroyed. This is the only way Ukraine can get several thousand tanks. And armored vehicles can generally be riveted in any garage. Sheathed the truck with sheet steel (how many such shushpanzers have we seen!) And the resulting unit, in case of destruction, passes like an armored car!
          In general, the statistics of our MO are quite adequate.

          No, he’s not lying, according to reports from our informed bodies, all the militants in the Caucasus were destroyed several times. One Basayev was liquidated many times. And my friends said that they received the strictest order from the top leadership not to stop the Chechen column, and then they learned that through their bloc once Basayev drove by.

        I read amazing things with my stupidity in this article. Without knowing the author it is difficult to judge his outlook, competence and conscientiousness.
        A good conscience is important.
        And this is not at all in defense of the stupid Konashenkov ... who is really stupid. I'm talking about the analysis of the figures given by the author.
        Let's take planes.
        As you know, after the collapse of the USSR, Krajina-U got the aviation of the THREE best military districts of the Soviet Army. And there were a lot of planes. Including new types.
        During the years of independence, most of the air fleet was decommissioned, sold, and exhausted.
        But these decommissioned aircraft themselves remained - in sumps, often right at the airfields.
        These old hulls of decommissioned aircraft were put up by the Sumerians on the eve of our "sudden attack". And all serviceable and combat-ready were taken out from under the blow. To alternate airfields and abroad. So a bunch of destroyed aircraft at airfields in the early days, these are just the old decommissioned hulls.
        Remember the old Soviet film "Restless Economy"?
        This is how they played with us. And Konashenkov counted.
        In addition, Soviet-made aircraft supplies from the USA and Eastern Europe have been going on for a long time. And they are also destroyed. Soon these sources of junk will dry up, and we are waiting for news about American F-15s, F-16s, Mirage-2000s and other Eurofighters being shot down over the aircraft.
        You pay attention to something else - so much equipment was killed, and the losses of the enemy are called ... just ridiculous, something like 50 - 70 thousand.
        Do you believe that?
        Or were there no crews in that technique?
        Or is so much ammunition flying into the poor world?
        No - IDEOLOGICAL EXPECTABILITY. In order not to injure the public with the huge losses of the army of the fraternal people (without quotes).
        It’s the same with other equipment - all the Varsovians were shaken out for the supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, plus with the total mass of NATO equipment. That's where it all burns.
        But Konashenkov is stupid and cannot explain clearly, briefly and clearly.

          Quite right. Moreover, in order to "put the plane on the wing" there were simply not enough spare parts. They repaired it when the need arose. Perhaps they were removed from the decommissioned ones, if suitable. But there were a LOT of planes.

Conclusion, if the commentators had turned on their brains even a little, they would not have been looking for a scapegoat (by the way, our national fun smile ) And they would simply try to voice their opinion about the losses, etc., and the rest would discuss, clarify, it would be a very useful approach.
            As for aviation, at the beginning of the NWO I gave a layout, from where and how. As for the UAV, what does the bayraktar have to do with it, any UAV that was shot down is considered (which was found on the radar screen and subsequently destroyed.

            He is the head of the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, and not just some kind of TV presenter. That is, the direct boss of those who prepare these pieces of paper.

            Is he personally counting the units of disabled equipment? The destroyed equipment is reported from below, at the top these data are only summarized, and Konashenkov voices it because he has such a job.
            In terms of military ground equipment, they missed the fact that there is also captured equipment, both for us and for Ukrainians. I would not be surprised if some copies changed their owners more than once and more than once, according to the documentation, passed as retired.

            Rather his. Do not forget that most of the citizens of the Russian Federation there (in the former Ukraine) have relatives, friends, classmates, colleagues. It is information about the number of losses that is very painful. Incl. because if the Armed Forces of Ukraine have irretrievable losses of at least 200 thousand, then the question reasonably arises - "How much do we have?" . After all, even if they are an order of magnitude lower, then this is also 20-30 thousand rubles.
            I hasten to reassure the citizens of the Russian Federation somewhat - more than half of the total losses of the allied forces fell (and still fall) on the corps of the republics of Donbass, which take out most of the assault operations and "hold the front". So it was from the very beginning of the operation (the LDNR units were near Kyiv, and near Kharkov, and near Nikolaev, and near Zaporozhye), and this is largely the case now.
            And also keep in mind that after some time most of the former citizens in / on will become the same citizens of the Russian Federation. Remember how in Soviet textbooks and books they did not mention the role of Bandera in the Khatyn Tragedy (there were, as it were, hundreds of such villages), and in the extermination of Kyiv Jews in Babi Yar, and much more like that?
            And about the role of Czechoslovakia in arming the Wehrmacht?
            What about the role of Hungary?
            About Poland - Hell of Europe?
            And all out of political expediency, why exacerbate and excite if they are now our allies under the Warsaw Pact?
            War is always a path of deception, and no one disdained them (deception) in the war. Never .
            For example, you can revise the reports of the Soviet Information Bureau during the Second World War - about the losses of the enemy, especially in 1941, that the enemy has "overwhelming superiority in tanks" (although only on the western front we had only a superiority of 41 in tanks in the summer of 5 once .
            So what we are seeing is the law of the genre and the rules of the game. And war is a theater ... After all, its battlefields are called that - THEATER OF MILITARY ACTIONS.

                Everything must be considered in the realities of that time, the balance of power, priorities in foreign policy and the totality of external and internal (in the liberated territories of Eastern Europe) threats. And those were. Let us recall the "Unthinkable" plan, the American nuclear bomb, England's desire to take control of Poland and even Yugoslavia ... We could not allow a new war against us by the united forces of the West, we could not leave them under control of the newly liberated countries of Eastern Europe - too. And to start building an alternative military bloc to NATO with terror and unaffordable reparations is the height of stupidity.
                And Stalin was smart.
                That is why the King of Romania received the Order of Victory immediately after the war ... lol Funny ? But this was how loyalty was bought and the right choice was encouraged on the eve of the defeat of the Wehrmacht.
                And Bandera, forest brothers and other husks, after the war, were caught in the forests for several years. They were executed and sent to Siberia - for socially useful work without the right to return (after serving time, a special settlement was supposed to be with a ban on living in cities and generally leaving the region).
                Hungary ... do you remember the Hungarian uprising in 1956? Do you know the details? How was it suppressed? But they wanted to join NATO ...
                Czechoslovakia ... 1968 Practically the same.
                Poland ... There, the Polish Army was created almost from scratch by Marshal of Victory Rokosovsky ...
                And Yugoslavia generally left the Department of Internal Affairs.
                But it was our buffer from NATO.
                And a springboard for a swift blow to Western Europe, if war becomes inevitable.

                Not from that the USSR fell apart. And the loans given to them did not ruin us. Moreover, since the 90s, those loans that the USSR issued to the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America to create their own states and economies were to be paid back - in cash or in goods.
                For the USSR (if not for the betrayal of the leadership), the 90s should have been the beginning of a new breakthrough in the development and welfare of citizens.
                And the Banderaites (and not only) from the camps and special settlements were released by Khrushch! Moreover, people from the circles of those very nationalists and collaborators who were identified and imprisoned under Stalin were introduced into the leadership of the union republics (including with the help of the KGB). There are many examples, but the most striking is Kravchuk.

                        What, you can't read?
                        During the First World War, in 1916-1917, Russian and Bulgarian units repeatedly had clashes on the Romanian and Thessaloniki fronts, in some places very fierce. For example, near the city of Monastir in Macedonia in November 1916, the 2nd special Russian brigade lost about a third of the personnel in battles with the Bulgarian troops. By the end of 1917, there were about 2000 (according to other sources - 5000) prisoners of war of the Bulgarian army in Russia.
                        In March 1941, Bulgaria joined the Tripartite Pact and provided Germany with its territory for the deployment of troops. It is also incorrect to say that during the Second World War there were no skirmishes between the Soviet and Bulgarian armed forces. Formally, without fighting against the USSR, the Bulgarian military were part of the convoys of German and Romanian transports in the Black Sea. For its part, the submarines of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet were active near the coast of Bulgaria. They laid minefields at the Bulgarian ports of Varna and Burgas, conducted reconnaissance, attacked convoys on occasion. Already in 1941, a series of clashes took place, in which the Bulgarian fleet and aviation took part.
                        So, until the end of the year, Bulgarian coast guard aircraft attacked the Soviet submarines they discovered five times, but only once hit the target, and the fact of sinking is in question. It is authentically known that two Soviet submarines were blown up by mines in the Bulgarian territorial waters. And on December 6, 1941, in the Burgas region, Bulgarian patrol boats disabled the Soviet submarine Shch-204. The Bulgarian transport "Shipka" was blown up on Soviet mines. On September 9, 1941, the Soviet submarine L-4 on the surface fired from guns and sank the Bulgarian ship "Success". Clashes arose in the future.

                        In, there were no stitches in WWII. And not the Bulgarian units fought in Russia, but the Russians in Macedonia and Dobruja on our lands. In both WWI and WWII, Russia declared war on Bulgaria, and not vice versa. So there's a lot to regret, but repent - I'm sorry, it won't work!

                In artillery, we also had a multiple superiority (at the beginning of the war, of course, during the retreat we quickly lost this superiority).
                In aviation ... There was no qualitative superiority for sure, but here is QUANTITATIVE fellow In some fighters, the ratio was even steeper than in tanks. Otherwise, where would the German aces have shot themselves so many shot down on personal accounts?
                The Red Army was inferior to the Wehrmacht in 1941 in the main - as control, coordination, communications and combat interspecific interaction. As the work of staffs and in general in the training and qualification of senior and senior command personnel.
                For the Red Army, these were problems of rapid numerical growth, when the commanders of regiments, divisions, corps and armies often simply did not correspond to their qualifications for such positions. After all, the Red Army grew from 150 to 5,5 million in a matter of years. And this is after the personnel purges of the Army in 1938.
                The Red Army learned to fight, and the command - to command, during the war itself. I studied well, quickly, that's why we won.

                  Shooting aces, even without delusional talk about lies, is not an indicator of the effectiveness of the Air Force. You can appoint some DDs on a free hunt, and others as meat, so that the bombers accompany and fly to intercept the bombers. The first will shoot down, the second will go astray.

                  And tsifir has the limits of the possible. The Americans did not count 200 thousand people, but they did not say that these people were killed, they simply do not exist, and the Yankees do not know where they are, maybe they were wounded, maybe they were captured, or maybe they deserted, the last category is taken into account poorly, although it can reach tens of thousands, not to mention the possibility that many people listed in the units have never been there, but allowances were issued for them.

                  The Red Army was inferior to the Wehrmacht in the first place in numbers. Because when you have 2.8 million in the western districts (which in itself is a large spread in space), and the enemy has up to 5, then even with competent decisions of the command, which just happened, and any comparable training of troops, which and it wasn’t close, it’s very difficult to do anything, and the enemy will constantly have a 3-4-fold superiority in numbers.

                  The rest I'm just too lazy to comment on. If it were not for personnel purges, the infantry would not have been able to dig in, let alone carry out complex operations.

Well, a blow to airfields that were not camouflaged, the planes stood wing to wing ...
                    But the numerical superiority nevertheless was and was enormous.

                    This figure has been from the American general for a month and a half, no less. And even before that American statement, the relatives of the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who disappeared from communications and did not get in touch for more than a month, after being denied information from the Ministry of Defense and the presidential apparatus, contacted each other on social networks, created groups, counted ... and even then (and this more than 2 months ago) the number of such missing persons was over 1000 thousand people.
                    This does not take into account the officially dead, wounded and prisoners (because in captivity we always give the opportunity to call relatives and say that they are alive).
                    There is another calculation option - every day the Armed Forces of Ukraine lose from 600 to 1000 people only killed. (sometimes more). 150 days of war have passed.
                    In addition to those immediately killed, those wounded who died during the evacuation and from wounds in hospitals are added to the irretrievable losses. A considerable part of the wounded went under disassembly for organs. And there it has been put on stream since 2014. Prisoners of the order of 10 people. Deserters ... yes, perhaps several tens of thousands.
                    Here also consider.
                    Moreover, in the same reports, the Ministry of Defense cannot take into account all the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and only cite losses from missile, air strikes, as well as sometimes (!) The results of MLRS and artillery strikes. Accounting for losses in contact shooting battles, during artillery raids, in counter-battery combat. So we can safely assume that the Armed Forces of Ukraine lose about 1000 people per day.
                    The rest (deserters, prisoners of war, who died of wounds) go by trailer.
                    It’s sad to consider all this - nevertheless, the fraternal people, albeit under the Nazis, we all have a lot of relatives there, friends, acquaintances ...
                    And to these (about 200 thousand people) irretrievable losses, add sanitary losses (we safely multiply by two). As a result, it receives about 600 thousand total losses.
                    So these losses have been nullified for almost the entire mobilization, and the strength of the Armed Forces of Ukraine today is estimated at 700-750 thousand people.
                    At the beginning of the conflict, there were about 500-600 thousand armed people in the ranks - the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, border guards, and the Navy.

                    Would they have kept Moscow without him?
                    Let me remind you - the Panfilov division was part of his army. And he personally gathered his army himself, intercepting the retreating scattered units and subunits - everything was then decided on personal initiative there. And professionalism.

            50-70 thousand killed for an army of 500 thousand is actually a disaster.

            Yes, during this time they have already mobilized under a million. It’s just that when half of this (total) number has retired irrevocably or wounded, then 700+ thousand remain in the ranks.
            Quote: EvilLion
            There will be 2-3 times more wounded,

            They have this ratio somewhat lower for a simple reason - they often either finish off the wounded or throw them on the battlefield (and they die themselves). And those who are carried out, but unable to quickly return to duty, are being dismantled for organs for the "civilized west". Just don't sport with the latter, I know that very well.
            And in order to hide the losses, all the dead, abandoned on the battlefield and disemboweled by surgeons, are declared deserters.
            And "deserters" are also irretrievable losses.

              They physically do not have the ability to mobilize a million, this is 3-4% of the population under control. Such mobilization is in fact total. During the Second World War, the USSR put 12-15 percent under arms, and even then not immediately, and the men ran out by the summer of 1944. And there were many young people in the USSR, but in modern Ukraine, the birth rate was bottom all 30 years, even by the standards of Europe, plus the young were actively leaving, this is a country of pensioners.

                3% is not total mobilization. Total is about 10%. Plus mercenaries, advisers, volunteers. Plus, the supply of everything by the West, which means that fewer people are needed to work on the rear. Plus, millions of non-combatants have been taken to the EU. Which again reduces the load on the rear. So you can mobilize 10-15%. And since the Russian Federation can only afford a creeping blitzkrieg, there is plenty of time for training. Losses of 500-600 people are simply ridiculous for an army of hundreds of thousands. Moreover, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are systematically retreating and maintaining units as unified structures. So there is someone to train recruits.

            There are such, there are a lot of them, their requests were kicked off (and kicked off) by the Ministry of Defense and their presidential apparatus. In desperation, they organized groups on social networks to exchange information, counted. More than two months ago, they counted MORE THAN 100 such "missing" people. This is not counting those officially recognized as dead, wounded and captured. And this is internal data from the former Ukraine. The Ukrainian authorities at the same time (2+ months ago) banned all these groups in social networks and brought the exchange of such data under a criminal article. And people are already sitting. And this, too, is internal data from the former Ukraine, from their citizens and bloggers.

        These are not false figures, but there is a correct figure, so to speak. Here they captured a couple of hundred thousand tanks of the enemy. What to do with these tanks when the enemy does not have them. It is possible, through the back kryltso, through the blat system, to sell these nasty about two thousand tanks in order to have someone to fight with. The enemies have run out of shells, and we don't know what to do with this Everest of shells. They have tanks suitable for these shells. So that the war would continue again through the back, they sold a million shells through the blat. We have, they also have, but where no one sees. Airplanes are in trouble. Again, through blat, we tell them how many aircraft that are suitable for them to have in the countries of the former marriage. If there is no money, we can borrow through blat and a certain percentage. All satisfied rates and titles are growing and of course the salary is above the limit. If things are bad, then these nasty people can forget some of the equipment in some places, or blow it up. All is well, everyone is happy to the point of impossibility!

Despite the voice acting of tanks and aircraft on the move, in fact, there were three times more of them. At the same time, I want to say that ours are telling half-truths.

        According to him, more and more Ukrainian planes are appearing, although the aviation in Ukraine should have already been defeated and the number of combat-ready pilots and planes should have disappeared.
        “The explanation for this is that Ukrainian planes from time to time appear in the front-line sky is very simple - this means that they transferred planes from the Warsaw Pact countries, because huge stocks of Soviet weapons remained in the former Warsaw Pact countries,” Boroday said.

The Russian Federation has 2500 tanks in its "combat strength", and only T72, T80 and T64 are available for more than 12000! bully Ukraine also had a lot of iron in its warehouses, the Armed Forces of Ukraine actually had large numbers of losses from the first days, as I understand it, this iron was recorded as destroyed after attacks on storage warehouses, and then after they were captured! At the initial stage of the SVO, it is quite possible that the loss from the "combat strength" was not large, since the Armed Forces of Ukraine dispersed. This combat composition is fighting, despite the huge losses in the warehouses. what it is much more important to understand how much equipment the Armed Forces of Ukraine have in the combat composition in real life, compared to what it was!

      And who can guarantee the accuracy of data on the armaments of Ukraine at the time of the start of the JMD? Something was decommissioned, something was hit and then restored. I imagine how Biryukov will point with a pointing finger at the unreliability of reports from the battlefield. Mr. Biryukov should be placed in the thick of things so that he can crawl over a wrecked enemy tank to determine if it is repairable. Who can guarantee the accuracy of data on weapons transferred to Ukraine by foreign states? And that's not it. Therefore, the moralizing tone of Mr. (Pan or whoever he is) Biryukov is inappropriate in this case. This does not negate the fact that the work of the information service of the Ministry of Defense is ugly, even if it is headed by a lieutenant general, but there are failures in another.

      Yes, these are the features of statistics in any armed confrontation. All parties, not even always consciously lie, but this is simply the principle of counting: each link in the chain, starting with the platoon one, “rounds” the numbers a little. And so at every stage. In the end, what you get is what you get. The Ministry of Defense, on the other hand, every day cannot physically control whether each platoon sergeant lied or not.
      And on the front line, in many ways, it doesn’t matter what to write in the reports - there are other priorities in which the "beauty" of the numbers is not important.
      They wrote a lot and don’t care - the main thing is that the battalion doesn’t have any more nonsense, then you have to puzzle over how to position the fighters, feed them, send them to the rear, get supplies.

Or is it not the duty of the Ministry of Defense to organize this way? Worse, if the MO itself believes in science fiction received from the front line.

        I accept this and that. A year ago, there was an article that said that somehow, at the guarded airfield where the planes were stationed, equipment was removed from them, for many millions of rubles ... which prevents them from decommissioning the plane and selling it to Poland or any other country, after which he safely ends up with the Nazis .. there are a lot of examples in history, Chechnya .. if you remember.

    According to official data from the same Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, at the time of the military operation, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had 152 aircraft, 149 helicopters, 36 Bayraktar TB2 UAVs, 2 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 416 MLRS, 535 field artillery pieces and mortars.

    And where is the confidence that just so much equipment was available at the beginning of the NWO? During hostilities, it is difficult to calculate the exact amount of destroyed enemy equipment. Surely, the Russian Ministry of Defense "adds a little", but who knows for 100% what and how much Ukraine has received from "friends" in 8 years.

    It’s harder with planes, but with armored vehicles ... It’s not the destruction that is recorded, but the hit, in principle, in some cases. Then the equipment is transported, repaired and again goes into battle. Also captured tanks were probably wrapped up in this number. And in war, equipment can change owners several times. And again, the MO will destroy our captured armored vehicles and add one more unit to itself.
    I do not claim that these are all the reasons and our Defense Ministry is absolutely honest in dealing with losses, but these nuances also need to be taken into account.

    As for armored vehicles, it is not entirely correct to say "destroyed". Destroyed means unrecoverable. And in 3 cases out of 4, equipment, especially tanks, can be restored. For the tank is completely destroyed only when the BC is blown up or completely burned out from the inside. And it doesn't happen that often. By the way, during WWII, German tanks were so "destroyed" up to 10 times, so that they were completely restored at factories almost from 0.

    At all times, the reports of the "information bureau", and for everyone, did not correspond to reality.
    But at the same time, it must be taken into account that thoughtless propaganda will eventually raise questions and a complete loss of confidence among citizens. You don't even need to be a lieutenant general to understand this.
    As for the true state of affairs, it can be assessed by indirect factors.
    Such as the intensity of flights and strikes of enemy aircraft, enemy artillery fire, etc.
    So, for example, information about the frequent destruction and capture of Polish T-72 "clones" indirectly indicates that there are really few of our own tanks in dill. The creation of motorized (rifle) brigades and battalions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on ordinary trucks also testifies to the shortage of AFVs.
    And the fact that our aircraft does not bomb stations and bridges with conventional bombs directly broadcasts that the dill has air defense systems, although they were defeated a lot. If the losses of air defense systems were small, then the strikes of the KR (NATOs probably warn about launches as early as possible) would be ineffective.
    Etc.
    We are unlikely to find out the true "arithmetic" even after the end of the NMD, as today there are still disputes about losses in WWII operations and post-war local wars.

    As in the film "Peculiarities of the National Hunt", who killed the elk? Me, me and me, total 3 moose. And when they found out that this was Kuzmich's cow, then no one. As a result, she got up and left.
    Konashenkov sums up the data that field commanders give him. He himself does not personally check each unit. Well, the fact that the tank was destroyed not with one shot, but with three, how would he know? But everyone who fired at the tank will surely declare the destruction. Plus something else can be repaired. It is more difficult with airplanes, and therefore the difference is not so great.

      It is more difficult with airplanes, and therefore the difference is not so great.
      With airplanes, everything is more complicated and easier at the same time. Somehow there was a video showing what was left of more than a dozen aircraft destroyed at once in one blow at the airfield. And it would seem that here is a specific video fact. How can it be wrong here? But! Watching how and what to count. I just looked, by sight alone it could be said that at least two-thirds of the aircraft at the time of the strike were already clearly not combat-ready. So how do you count them then? You can write, there were 3-4 combat-ready aircraft. And they destroyed more than 10. Or vice versa. There were more than 10 aircraft, but only 3-4 were destroyed, plus 8 heaps of spare parts, but we don’t count this. And this is with seemingly obvious destruction. Yes, even in aerial combat, was hit and was shot down is not the same thing. The plane can be shot down, but did not crash and made an emergency landing. Do we add one? Of course yes. And the plane that has landed is standing in the field in appearance, even whole. And then, from behind the fishing line, a takn leaves, oppa unexpected, direct fire on you so that it would be in the trash. So the crew of the tank wrote down the same to themselves on the account of the destroyed aircraft. And the Ukrainians, in general, will write down that the plane was gone, which means you can’t say for sure that it was shot down. That is, in general, it will not be counted even once.

    I'm not sure about the reasoning behind this article. In terms of aircraft, in any case, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have never officially spoken about the number of aircraft. There is also Soviet data on more than 1100 aircraft left outside of Russia after the crash of the ATS. If we assume that at least a third of them will be transferred to Nezalezhnaya, then at such a pace they can be shot down for another half a year. Surely, the same situation with armored vehicles. So there is no need to strongly doubt the gigantic army of ukrofascists and NATO. And all this is the result of the betrayal of the labeled bear and the drunken wrestler! After all, even in those days of unbridled love with the West, smart people said that equipment should be exported to Russia, as the assignee of the USSR! Well, at least the nuclear weapons were taken out!

    Maybe our intelligence and other informants collected insufficient information about the availability of equipment in the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the beginning of the NMD, and there were noticeably more of its availability?

    The data is taken from the reports of commanders at the battlefields. They are always overpriced - this is the law of any war. Let us recall the data on the destroyed tanks and aircraft of the Second World War.
    For example, the data on downed enemy aircraft was overestimated three times, and both our pilots and the Germans did this, and even the overestimation was almost the same.
    Firstly, the eyes of fear are large and it always seems that there are more opponents. Secondly, any plane that began to smoke, began to descend and turned to its own, was automatically considered to be shot down. If the plane was fired from the ground, then the anti-aircraft gunners also added to it. In doing so, he could sit down safely and be repaired.
    For tanks, the same story, if the enemy attacks at the junction of two parts, both parts report on his destruction. Any stopped tank, especially one abandoned by the crew, is considered destroyed. At the same time, it can easily be towed to the rear and repaired.
    UAV data is also not always possible to perceive objectively, everything is visible from above, but not exactly. For example, the sensational video from the UAV about the destruction of HIMARS, it shows how a certain tilt truck is destroyed, I do not see the outlines of HIMARS on this video, but someone saw - who is wrong?
    Or do we see equipment in the frames from above, then it will be covered with artillery fire, everything is covered in dust and smoke, is the equipment destroyed? If it is armored, and there were no direct hits, then it is quite possible that the equipment remained intact, and the UAV had already flown off to look for new targets, but the report included data on the destroyed units of equipment.
    Accurate data on losses both in personnel and in equipment will become known only after the war, and will be declassified years later, if not decades, and these data will be incorrect, because it will be a compilation of their data with enemy data.
    It is customary to underestimate your own losses.

      Quite right! I wanted to write something similar myself. During hostilities, what objective data can there be? The commission must be sent. “Stop, stop! Don’t shoot! We’ll evaluate that tank now. So, it can be brewed, it can be changed .. Let’s consider this tank destroyed? Vote! torn off, but breathing. Will they be taken to the hospital or not? What will the council say? Rather alive? So, in the "XNUMXth". And this one, with the intestines? It is unlikely that it will last long? We write it down as destroyed. That's it, continue further fighting."

      So it was only with the Germans. From here they have such personal accounts of victories beyond the limits. Have us same like already with 42goda. The downing of the aircraft had to be confirmed. Either ground units, or an air reconnaissance officer was sent to the area of ​​​​the fall in order to confirm the presence of remnants. And even a photo machine gun in battle did not guarantee that the downing would be counted.

        The downing of the aircraft had to be confirmed.
        This is for the pilot's personal account, for which he received money and awards. Money, as you know, they love an account, they just didn’t pay anyone. Reporting is another matter. Paper will endure everything. After the war, German archives showed that data on destroyed aircraft and German data on lost and decommissioned aircraft did not match by about three times. By about the same amount, the German reports on downed Soviet aircraft differed from our data on the loss of equipment. These are not my guesses, but the data of historians who dug into these archives.

          So no one argues that in the reports the Germans greatly underestimated the losses. The Fuhrer could easily put them against the wall for heavy losses. And so, well, it seems like they are, but where - we do not know. And there, another cauldron, a retreat. In general, the war will write off everything.

            The Fuhrer could easily put them against the wall for heavy losses.
            This is not about reports to the top or the press, but about the documentation of the rear services on repairs, write-offs of the current number of equipment in the troops and requests from industry to make up for losses, the information there is as realistic as possible.
            In general, the war will write off everything.
            This is for the commanders of regiments and divisions, but the rear services have a different approach, they have a balance and material values.
            And then, after the war, data became known about how many aircraft were produced, and so they were shot down more than three times produced. And there was no point in underestimating production statistics. On the contrary, in our country, for failure to fulfill the plan, they could be shot according to the laws of wartime. The Germans also had a strong responsibility for underproduction.

              In this case, the amount of destroyed equipment must be counted from the units produced, plus repair units, minus, in the case of the Germans, those that ended up in trophies. That's all this and will be less real figure. Losses among trophies will not be taken into account. There percentage is not that big. Although for the sake of truth, he was the same. In the case of a union, from what was produced, it is necessary to minus the amount of equipment that remained in service at the time the database ended. By the way, the number is not small. Well, what, where, and how it was destroyed, this question is no longer so important. The balance of the rear, it is also not an indicator. The same repair units could both leave the balance sheet as retired ones, and return back, and it may not even be in the same part. And this is not counting any disbanding, reorganization and change in the type of equipment. It seems to me that there will be even more confusion here. Again, do not forget about lend-lease in the case of an alliance, and the production of equipment outside of Germany in the case of the Germans.

      You are wrong, it is there on the front line that you can’t see it very clearly, very often the assessments are distorted by a tense mental state. For example, during the first months of the Second World War, the Germans constantly complained that enemy, that is, Soviet aviation, was constantly hanging over them, and their own planes were not visible at all. In almost the same words, only ours wrote and reported about German aviation. It wasn't until after the war that things really became clear.

    What does destroyed mean. The rocket hit the tank. Or hit a mine and tore off the skating rink. It fired up or didn't fire up. However, it did not completely burn down, but the crew extinguished it. It was then sent for repair and repaired. And this tank has already been classified as destroyed. Let's remember the Battle of Kursk. The Prokhorovka field remained with the Germans. According to eyewitnesses, explosions took place all night. German sappers blew up our wrecked tanks. After our field was liberated, almost all the tanks were suitable only for remelting. Here it can be destroyed a second time, or even a third. There are also subscriptions.

      But what about the facts that contradict your private opinion?
      Here's a fact for you:
      October 23, 1983, Beirut. A suicide bomber in a car with a homemade bomb (made from fertilizer) blew himself up near the fence of the base, where the barracks of the UN forces were located.
      More than 300 soldiers (Americans and French) died.
      Here is a concrete fact for you, how several hundred military men were destroyed with one blow.
      So why can't a cruise missile with REAL POWERFUL explosives, hitting a building with a higher number of storeys (that is, more troops can be accommodated per unit area), destroy more people?
      It's a pretty boring reality in my opinion.
      And this is even excluding such additional possible factors. Like the presence in this building (or nearby) of an ammunition depot that could detonate from the initial explosion and greatly increase the damage.
      Or the rapid emergence of a powerful fire as a result of an explosion. Because of which many people could die, even those who were not affected by the explosion.

    Of course, Konashenkov screwed up with the planes. Okay, tanks can be hit 3-5 times each (tanks can be dragged away for repair, even if the tank is not on the move but with a working gun - you can use it), the same thing with drones - the same homemade products can be written into drones. But it won’t work like that with airplanes. It’s definitely impossible to fly a Su-25 to Kharkov from Polish airfields. And another question, where do they get so many pilots?

They know everything in the English press, they were everywhere and they are the best, I really don’t know where the truth is, but somehow I don’t add up the numbers, many of them are not confirmed by anything.

    Very topical stuff! It is clear that in any war, both sides underestimate their losses and overstate those of others, but there must be a limit. Defined by common sense. Otherwise, it leads directly to the opposite goal - loss of trust in official reports and attempts to find the truth elsewhere. In this regard, I recalled the fate of one minister in the last government of Saddam Hussein. His name was Mohammed al-Sahhaf, before heading the Ministry of Information, he was Iraq's ambassador to the UN. So - he is the only one of the members of the Council of the Revolutionary Command of Iraq, who was not arrested. Even Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz died in prison as a "war criminal". And this "chief pi-dobol", as ordinary Iraqis called him among themselves, was delivered to the UAE by an American military aircraft along with his family! The Americans were very grateful to him for his help. In the Emirates, he lived a long comfortable life and died recently. . .

    Konoshenko is not the mouthpiece of the press service of the Moscow Region. She does not participate at all in covering any acts of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, although she is obliged to.
    And yes, everything that Konoshenko covers is true. It's just that the West does not voice ALL arms supplies to Ukraine. There are also smart people there.
    And there will be hidden and explicit deliveries until the General Staff of the Russian Federation destroys the "arteries" of supply on the western border of Ukraine. For 5 (five) months, the logistics of deliveries of weapons and personnel of error 404 have not been violated.

    Guys, it could be the following. In aviation, the concept of resource and wear is not the same thing.
    A resource, this is the time during which the developer guarantees an acceptable level of reliability of a part, assembly, assembly, airframe.
    In other words, an aircraft with a depleted resource according to the airframe, the engines are quite combat-ready. It's just that the probability of failure is slightly higher. But in wartime, it is quite possible to close your eyes to this.

    I'm not going to excuse Konashenkov, but it's worth writing about these figures.
    1) For aviation. How are aircraft shot downs calculated? I do not think that by the number of craters with smoking debris, although some number can be verified in this way. For air defense calculations and our pilots, probably, the calculation is also based on confirmation of the coincidence of the target and the missile on the radar. In the event that aircraft operate in the "gray zone" it is not possible to confirm their defeat for certain, so often they probably use this method. It is possible that such calculations take into account data from Ukrainian radio interceptions about the aircraft being shot down. In some cases, incapacitation = downing in reports.
    It is worth noting that a number of figures could probably be obtained by destroying mock-ups at enemy airfields or its hangars, suggesting the presence of aviation according to intelligence data. It is not always possible to determine the presence or absence of real aircraft there, we do not have such good and low-loaded satellites and not so perfectly established aerial reconnaissance.
    The Ukrainians themselves can play radio games with us, because they are interested in us having an incorrect picture of the losses of their aircraft.
    2) By tanks. With tanks, everything is simpler - knocking out does not mean destruction. A crashed aircraft cannot be restored, a downed tank can be restored. Often, we could record heavy defeats of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles in destruction, then they were evacuated and restored. As well as with aviation, a certain number of defeats probably fell on mock-up blendes and hangars, and this is logical. I admit that in a number of cases nomenclature confusion could also arise, and in the array of targets hit, along with tanks, other targets could be attributed to the "tank" (including from unscrupulous targets).
    3) By UAV. Shooting down or knocking out an UAV as a small target can occur, including from weapons not equipped with verification tools, so in some cases this will be potentially unconfirmed information. The downing of an UAV does not mean that it is a downing of a military UAV, just like we use civilian models for intelligence, Ukraine also uses them - and they naturally lose them. It is also worth noting that in the case of UAVs, cases of "friendly fire" are not uncommon, because this is a small target.

    An accurate calculation of enemy losses in wartime is difficult, and this is understandable, because there is a problem with obtaining reliable information. We do not have comprehensive data on the repair capacities of Ukraine, on how well and effectively they use mock-ups, on how well the disinformation of us by their special services is delivered. The methods for calculating damage in the database are also imperfect.

        In any case, some estimated figures are needed; they should appear in any military-economic calculations. Otherwise, how will the rear know how many air defense missiles to produce, how many ATGMs to put on the front line of the infantry, and so on. If there are no estimated figures, then there is no understanding of the enemy’s ability to prepare major offensives in certain areas - therefore, some extra forces can be pulled out of these areas and moved to more important ones.
        So in any case, these figures have value even taking into account the calculation errors. Another thing is that voicing specifically THESE figures for the townsfolk can be counterproductive, because the layman does not need to be estimated approximately, the task of informing him should be reduced in wartime to creating a stable, CONvincing and trusting picture of events. To some extent, it is desirable that it be also EXHAUSTIVE. In this case, the layman will trust his own media and trust others less.

    The structured system of accounting for the results of the actions of units is such that the command is vitally interested in the “race” for results, in which all means, and especially postscripts, are good. Therefore, any fired false target will be presented as a destroyed enemy tank (plane, aircraft carrier, etc.), and any hit real target will have as many “killers” as the number of units that witnessed this victory. And every commander will certainly mention in the certificate: “but here we are today...”. And at the group headquarters they will add up reports on the results of the day and - oops! - one target turns! into graceful ones! TROUSERS!!! This is how we “destroy” the enemy, but it still doesn’t end.

          Sorry, but I certainly won’t trust the source who creates the blizzard. As I understand it, the reporting on Kanashenkov is structured something like this: According to intelligence data, there are about 600 enemy military personnel on the territory of a military unit in such a place, of which 150 are mercenaries. There are coordinates, the rocket has taken off. I even ended up in one of the barracks of this military unit. And despite the fact that 80% of the buildings and territory of this military unit were not touched by the strike, that most of the personnel were in other buildings or even outside the location - the RF Ministry of Defense calmly writes in the report: a blow was struck at the location of such and such an enemy brigade, destroyed 600 military personnel, of which 150 are mercenaries.

    Kindergarten. The author still did not understand that reports on the results of battles through the regiment - division - army (AK) - front go to the General Staff. The Main Operations Directorate compiles a general summary of the results of military operations for the day. Konashenkov only SPEAKS this summary.
    Questions regarding the availability of equipment are even simpler - they fired a missile - the probability is 0.99 that they were shot down, but only God knows whether they shot down, at the home airfield you can only clarify whether it arrived or not.
    And there is no information from there.
    The same goes for everything else - among the enemy, no one gives us a final summary of losses. So, as much as they wrote, it is true.

        Well, naturally, some of this equipment was already unflyable, but was in warehouses, which were successfully calibrated in the first days of the SVO. Accordingly, we have a successful defeat of the target, destroyed pieces of equipment (which, of course, were not flying anyway, but they were destroyed), and given that Ukraine knew about the date of the attack, the most combat-ready aircraft were probably hidden.

    In fact, when the number of destroyed aircraft became approximately equal to the number of aircraft before the SVO, reports of downed aircraft stopped for a very long time. And now new ones have appeared, that is, they were imported from somewhere, and the Su-25s were in Bulgaria, and the independent government there is more afraid of its people than the Americans and will not report any of its own disarmament. Plus some spare parts, something repaired.

    Thus, it turns out that all Ukrainian heavy equipment has been destroyed (even “with reserves”), and the Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot continue hostilities.


    I’ll tell the author a secret, but the USSR left about 8000-10000 tanks alone, if memory serves. And there is a very high probability that a certain number of vehicles were reactivated even before the start of the database, since they would still need to make up for losses in the upcoming aggression against Donbass and Russia. In this regard, I remember the episode when they announced the delivery of 6 tank crews, and the tanks were out of storage, it just didn’t sit there. And the presence at the time of the start of the SVO 2000-3000 only tanks that could drive and shoot is quite likely.

    In this regard, there are no contradictions in the reports of the Russian Ministry of Defense, they may be somewhat exaggerated, the helicopter brought a good video of the defeat, but the damaged tank was later repaired. But in general, they agree quite well with Ukrainian hysterics that they urgently need hundreds and thousands of units of equipment to make up for losses, but there is nowhere to get them from, since European armies themselves have 200-300 tanks in service and several dozen in storage. Poland had a reserve, but now it is gone. Spent it as stupidly as CPR authority.

    In fact, the rate of knockout has already decreased, since our anti-tank forces have fewer and fewer targets.

    Whatever you want, what figures the Central Committee will approve before Konashenkov’s briefing, he will read them on camera.\
    That's not the main thing. The main thing is that our soldiers and officers should die and be maimed as little as possible, and ideally not suffer at all. So that all missiles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the West are 100% shot down by our air defense without being missed.
    So that our offensive and that of the LDPR proceeds without delay, and all the counter-attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces die in the bud.
    This must be desired. Academician Bekhterev also said that thought is material and the masses of people with a single attitude can help our army grind all these hordes from the west and their pieces of iron.

    I’m almost sure that the figures from our Ministry of Defense also include damaged equipment, which was subsequently repaired. Plus, Ukraine has a certain amount of captured equipment too. In general, the numbers are very high, but there is no reason to believe that the Ministry of Defense is engaged in deliberate disinformation. Rather, the data is erroneous. A missile hit a hangar near Odessa - there were 4 tanks, 3 infantry fighting vehicles, 8 trucks there. Some were burnt, some were simply scratched. According to the reports, it looks like it was destroyed, because representatives of our Ministry of Defense will obviously not be allowed there to check)

    And how realistic is it, in principle, to count on completely reliable information? In this case, this is not an army and a country at work, but a club of confessing truth-lovers. I don’t mean to regularly pass off black as white, but to allow, perhaps deliberately, some inaccuracies, to shift the vector from one to another, this is even correct.
    I’m not even saying that understating your losses and overstating the enemy’s losses is a centuries-old, simple military trick.
    It’s naive to think that somewhere there will be absolutely truthful and reliable reports.
    Maybe later we’ll find out approximately how it really was.
    From my point of view, in this sense, there are no complaints about the reports of the Ministry of Defense. Those interested, let them analyze and give out their numbers. If they overestimate, let’s say losses, they will come to them and ask for libel. If they systematically guess, this may also arouse corresponding interest among the services.
    Yes, there may be a situation here, like with fishing tales, who caught more fish. The outskirts will tell the whole world that, say, they destroyed 100500 of our tanks, and we will literally tell you about 3 thousand of the outskirts. Of course not. Let's refute 100500 and report on 4 thousand enemy tanks.

As much as they were able to restore and gain, no country in the world will ever honestly talk about its victories and defeats. And that’s why Konashenkov says everything correctly.

Mistakes are not for the sake of the prize, but rather honest, but erroneous reports. It can not be so? Maybe. And even photographic documents presented as evidence are difficult to identify as identical lesions, even more so. that they are presented not in some center, but in their own departments.

    Well, regarding tanks and armored vehicles, let’s assume that somehow it might come together. Because they captured, restored, recaptured, etc. If tanks were separated from their number, then perhaps there would be questions. And so there are infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles and who knows what else... And we all saw how damaged/abandoned equipment is collected from the battlefield by both sides of the conflict and one armored personnel carrier can change hands several times.
    In such conditions, you can count a lot of things.
    Ours left a lot of equipment behind in the first days and captured just as much equipment. The word “destroyed” in Konashenkov’s words does not mean physical destruction, but rather the loss of enemy equipment, which includes equipment simply abandoned on the battlefield.
    Regarding drones - it depends on what is considered a drone? Only heavy drums or Chinese Mavics too? If you count Maviki, then the numbers there will be significantly larger. And of course, in addition to Bayraktars and Maviks, there are also intermediate drones. And by the way, how to count kamikaze drones? (because in this case the drone is destroyed in any case, regardless of whether he or she worked)
    But you can ask questions about airplanes, MLRS and air defense.

    Almost the entire fleet is T-72 (the highest demand for them has always been) and to a large extent - T-80. And the T-64 was taken to Kharkov for disposal (the Americans insisted, they twisted Yanek’s arms), and the war found them there.

    What are you talking about? They were cut into teaspoons per hour. The towers were generally torn apart from the inside with TNT. Yulka worked hard with Akhmetov. For these tanks, our “general”-rear officer was sent to places not very remote. Yulka's comrade. And there’s also a tank... As well as unfinished planes in Kanatovo. “Half” of Kropivnitsky are former pilots. The aircraft repair plant, the radio plant, the hydraulic pump plant sent oil pumps to 100 countries... These plants need to be hammered.

    Will someone explain where they got 2 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles? From the official briefing of the same Ministry of Defense? But it says “Of the 416 tanks that were in combat on February 24.” In combat. Nothing about what is not in combat. What is included in the non-combat composition? Conservation? Repair? Undergoing modernization? Decommissioned? That's all, how many more thousands?
