Russia loses ‘astronomical’ 70,000 troops in 60 days

Joe Barnes  •  13 July 2024  •  7:00am

Russia has lost more than 70,000 troops in the past two months, British military intelligence said on Friday.

The update by the Ministry of Defence added that the heavy losses would likely continue as Russia looked to make gains across the front lines in Ukraine.

“The average daily Russian casualties (killed and wounded) in Ukraine, throughout May and June 2024, increased to conflict highs of 1,262 and 1,163 respectively,” the MoD wrote.

“In total, Russia likely lost (killed and wounded) in excess of 70,000 personnel over the past two months.”

Russia has made grinding gains in eastern Ukraine over the past months as Kyiv’s armed forces try to overcome crippling shortages in manpower and ammunition.

Moscow launched a new front in May with a cross-border offensive into Ukraine’s north-eastern Kharkiv region.

A senior Nato official described the losses as “astronomical” during a briefing  .  .  .

Re the "anti-drone guns" in the oil facility attacks, they are probably very line-of-sight and not very powerful. So aim would have to be perfect and things like overhead wires and steel towers might mess with the signal beams. They're probably more suited for taking out spotter drones, which move less.

Pentagon Clarifies Delay in Authorizing Ukraine’s Use of ATACMS Missiles Against Russia

IVAN KHOMENKO  |  Jul 15, 2024  |  18:08

In an update from the Pentagon, the United States has clarified its hesitation in granting Ukraine permission to strike Russian territory with long-range ATACMS missiles. According to a spokesperson, Major General Pete Ryder, the U.S. remains cautious about expanding the conflict beyond Ukraine’s borders.

“We do not want to see unintended consequences or escalation that could widen this conflict beyond Ukraine,” stated Ryder in an interview with Voice of America, as reported by European Truth. He emphasized that while the U.S. recently sanctioned the use of American ammunition across borders for defensive and retaliatory strikes, their policy on long-range strikes remains unchanged.

Ryder highlighted the importance of considering potential secondary and tertiary effects in terms of escalation if targets within Russia were hit, effects that may not necessarily yield strategic benefits.  .  .

South Korea to mass produce lasers that can take out drones at $1.50 a hit

Yoonjung Seo and Brad Lendon  |  July 11, 2024  |  3:17 AM EDT


The Block-I laser system is shown in a handout photo from South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration. Defense Acquisition Program Administration

Seoul, South Korea

 —
South Korea is beginning the mass production of a low-cost laser weapon that has successfully shot down small drones during testing, the country’s key arms agency said Thursday.

The laser weapon, called Block-I, “can precisely strike small unmanned aerial vehicles and multicopters at close range,” a news release from South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) said.

The release did not give a cost for the weapon, but said each shot fired would only cost about $1.50.

Imagery supplied by the agency appears to show a weapon around the size of a shipping container with a laser mounted on top and what appears to be a radar or tracking device mounted on one side of the platform.  .  .

Kyiv demands the West supply submarines to boost Black Sea defenses against Moscow

Following a barrage of military augmentation requests from the West, Ukraine heightened its demands as it now wants allies to supply submarines to bolster its military capabilities in the Black Sea, become a maritime power and beat the Russian Navy.
Navy Chief Admiral Aleksey Neizhpapa, who announced the request to NATO and Western allies, argued that deploying underwater craft could strategically improve Ukraine's position across the Black Sea during the conflict with Russia. The head of the Ukrainian navy is convinced that Ukraine will not be able to achieve a "military victory" on the Black Sea without submarines, therefore, he calls on Western partners to meet this strategic need as soon as possible.

He emphasizes that large submarines are useless in this region, given the local geographical conditions. However, in his opinion, small underwater vessels are necessary so that the Ukrainian Navy can "disperse," expanding the field of activity against the naval and coastal positions of the Russian Federation.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The Geneva conventions require military personnel to wear identifiable uniforms. This violates that requirement, though the orcs are concealing themselves from civilians, not Ukrainian military personnel.

I guess Putin has figured out that his attempts to take out Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian leaders entails the possibility of returning the favor, which Ukraine has some capability of doing.

Whether Russian troops at the front appreciate anti-aircraft/missile resources being used this way is a different question.

Natural News? :silly: Got this claim from an actual news source? A source that gives full quotes without spin?

The reason Russia can't bring warships of its Baltic and/or Arctic Fleets to the Black Sea is the reason Western (and other) nations won't provide warships to Ukraine.
