Putin's 'meat grinder tactics killing between 900 and 1000 Russian soldiers a day' | Philip Ingram

"Ukraine are killing between 900 and 1000 Russian soldiers a day through 20 to 40 pieces of Russian equipment."

Putin's push to gain ground before the arrival of US aid in Ukraine is costing Russia dearly in manpower losses, Military Intelligence expert Philip Ingram tells #timesradio

As long as Russia is on the offensive and losing 900 to 1000 soldiers per day, why would Ukraine want to mount an offensive?

I'm Russian and Ukraine has the right to defend herself.

Mobilization incoming Poor kids having to sacrifice their lives for absolutely nothing 😢

I have one simple question for our political leaders, "How do you expect the Ukrainian Armed Forces to fight like NATO while we refuse to give /sell/loan them the platforms they need in order to fight in our style? Why are we expecting NATO air superiority from a country without any of the necessary equipment?"

Russia has been losing ~1k troops a day for months. Such a waste of life for nothing.

Duck season. Wabbit season. Duck season. Wabbit season. Duck…

War is awful and this is no different. What makes me angry is 1) the number of international businesses still operating / selling inside Russia. 2) Russian oil / gas refined & processed in India and bought by UK & partners. 3) the number of Russian residents happily holidaying in Europe.

We are not taking this seriously enough - it's not just a military war

Greed ambition and fear primary characteristics of a despot

If Putin doesn’t even value the men who are dying for this, what do you think he thinks of everyone else not named Putin? The fact that the Russian populace isn’t more upset about their casualties says they don’t value life all that much, either.

What is often forgotten in the discussions: RuSSia reservoir of manpower is not endless and by far not as big comparatively what it used to be.
Even with all the prisoners and other zombie meat, they cannot sustain these losses for much longer than another year. And with grave consequences for their economy.

Where are you getting these figures from is it the BBC,

[macmcleod]

Meanwhile DW news reports this as "up to 100 soldiers survive per day".

Conscription anywhere is a crime against youth and a crime against humanity

An excellent interview. We shall see how it goes. What a horrible waste for the sake of one man’s ego.

[VDD-]

How long does his public tolerate this?

[larrycox]

Pootin is toast. Its all collapsing by 2025.

[lynnabel]

If NATO really wanted to go all in, Russia would be toast inside of a month.

[michaelasamoah]

Do these people think they are talking to fools?supposed to be fully grown adults and churning numbers like that...1000 a day by 365 days for 2 and half years..common

[briancarno]

Its funny TR never talks about the Ukrainian losses.. which side can't recruit enough soldiers?

[elforeigner]

Russia has never been famous for its war strategies.
