    Again, why aren’t they in Kiev? Here’s the thing. Russia is a big country with a lot of people in it. This is no surprise that they have a large army, I wasn’t disputing that. What I am disputing is that they have any professional soldiers left after 3 years of fighting. What I’m saying is that they have mostly conscripts. That their modern front line tanks are basically gone, or else they would be using them and not resorting to antiques.

      They are not in Kiev because their goal is destruction of the AFU. Once the AFU collapses, Russia will be able to take whatever territory they want when they dictate the terms of surrender. Meanwhile, the only western source that shows any methodology has this to say about Russian casualties https://en.zona.media/article/2025/09/12/casualties_eng-trl

      The fact that you think Russian modern tanks are gone shows that you have absolutely no clue regarding the subject. Of course, there’s nothing that can be said to you that would change your views since you’re clearly living in a fantasy world. You’ll just have to wait and see how this ends for yourself. Prepare to be very surprised.
