They certainly haven’t replaced their losses of tanks, aircraft, armored vehicles, or artillery pieces. And I’m sure the new soldiers aren’t as good as the original batch.
Campbell’s assessment seems to contradict those of the Pentagon and America’s allies in Europe.
At a meeting of countries that support Ukraine late last month, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that Russia had suffered more than 315,000 casualties during the war. With a drop in American aid, leading to ammunition shortages on Ukraine’s front lines, Russian forces have advanced. But those too have been costly, the Pentagon has said.
In an interview earlier this year, the chair of Lithuania’s national security committee estimated it would take Russia between five and seven years to reconstitute its forces for a full-scale war.

You see, killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down. Kif, show them the medal I won.

And how well is the country doing? So many men dead for nothing. Probably not good in the long term. Even if they “win” the war. What will they have actually gained?
Putin’s vanity for the history books. Russian blood for Mr. “Look at me! I’m better than you!” A disgusting monster.
They will then be close to closing one of the defensive gaps that requires them to have a military which will soon be too big to maintain with their future demographic collapse.
Their economy had the most growth out of any G7 nation last year.
