300k per month. 1/2 male.

assuming roughly constant birthrates the production rate of fighting humans in the US is ~150k per month.

Logic must fail you. The humans like any other organic life, regardless of initial quantity must still take years or for humans a couple decades to be fully grown.
Once depleted, it cannot be replenished quickly unlike vehicles, weaponry etc.
Can you create 100k white Rhinos in a year? Nope .. but you can easily make 100K Ford model Ts or even Sherman tanks if you really want to.

It's failed you, I'm afraid. You don't have to wait 20 years for someone born today, there's a continuous flow of 150k per month of people born 20 years ago.

Of course you can. It doesn't matter if it takes a white Rhino 5,000 years to mature, you can have as many as you want in a year provided you started 5,000 years ago.

Lancet strike on Gyurza boat which is somewhere in the Black Sea coast.


Marinka completely taken, and Russian forces push further. Flag planted on the last house to the west.


Ukrainian beachhead on Krynki shrinks further.


Evacuation at Krynki. Wounded female Ukrainian soldier left abandoned by comrades, noticed Russian drone and waves at it for attention. She was extracted by the Russians and given medical care.


Ukrainian supply truck hit by Lancet at the right side of the Dniepr.


Senior Lieutenant Troshev who fought in Marinka, skipped steps and promoted to Major under extraordinary circumstances. As a tank commander he was credited with five tank kills and more than 20 armored vehicle kills.


Baba Yaga operators taken down by the Seversk-V special group somewhere in the Artemovosk front.


New Russian offensive towards Liman.


Tragic story about 108 Ukrainian soldiers in Avdiivka. Soldiers drew lots who were to be evacuated and rotated. As expected, people want to go home to see their families and have some rest. Lots were pulled, the lucky ones got on to the buses and those that didn't were very upset. The buses left for home. But they all never made it. Assumably they were all hit by the Russians.


Spain sends Leopards and helicopters, not to Ukraine but to Slovakia instead.


Ukrainian APC Kirpi destroyed in Marinka.


More FAB strikes in Novomikhailovka.


Night strike by quadcopter from the Russian 36th Brigade.

Reports coming out Russian landing ship in occupied Crimea was hit and destroyed.

Russians lose 5 flankers this weekend and now another warship. Some Russian general is likely going to lose his job for this or worse.

Are you seriously going to persist with this nonsense even after gelgoog humiliated you yesterday by posting Fighterbomber's actual comment ? In case you have accidentally missed it, I will post it once again for you :

"The crests did not shoot down any Su-30 or Su-34 yesterday or today. Maybe they shot down some of their sides, I don’t know why I should feel sorry for them. But all our planes and helicopters are safe and sound. By the way, crests, it’s time to demand those same proofs from your General Staff. Or #isthisdifferent? Be sure to ask what's wrong with them."

Ukrainian troops attacked the port in Feodosia with cruise missiles on the night of December 26, the head of Crimea Sergei Aksenov made a corresponding statement. It is not reported what object was attacked, but a powerful explosion occurred on the port territory; perhaps a military warehouse was attacked. According to the governor, the area of the city port has been cordoned off due to the incident. According to him, at this moment the detonation, it is not specified what exactly, has been stopped, and the fire that arose as a result of the attack has been localized. All relevant services are on site. According to the latest data, the Russian BDK "Novocherkassk" of Project 775 was damaged.


More details about these ships are in the link.

Confirmed by highest authority of Ukraine. Keep coping.

The same authority that insisted Russia suffer 350,000 deaths while even Western analyst says 100,000 deaths and 250,000 wounded? The same one that insisted the beachhead at Krynky is totally not a massacre? The highest authority on both sides on this conflict aren't to be trusted, that's why we use OSINT with photographic evidences to determine progress.

The math doesn't work like this. Even if we assume a high estimate of 100k irrecoverable casualties, that is still only a small fraction of Ukraine's population.

During the Warring States era, Zhao lost 400k soldiers in the Battle of Changping, yet they were still able to resist Qin for decades and even inflict severe defeats upon the latter.

???

Ukraine has way more than just 100k casualties by now though.

As for whether or not Ukraine would be able to 'last for decades' (imo, atmost some years), that's really another story as it depends a lot on how much they already have lost compared to total population right now in Ukraine, as well as how many active soldiers they have now at the front line and how many casualties they are suffering every week, as well as how many new people they can get every week.

I am sure that NATO proliferating cruise missiles and kamikaze boats to Ukraine isn't going to have any blowback at all. Nosiree.
Unlike certain other states, Russia, as a huge continental empire, could just stop doing any maritime trade and do just fine.
Right now the US had to send a carrier battle group against the Houthis. And that is with them only having access to some limited means of engaging ships. Imagine if they also mysteriously got access to the latest kamikaze boats and cruise missiles.

Seems the UK is violating its own obligations to the MTCR which will open its own can of worms
