Footage shows a Russian FAB-3000 aerial bomb striking a temporary deployment point of Ukraine’s 414th Brigade near the village of Karabelove, south of Kherson. Personnel from the 414th Separate Brigade ("Madyar’s Birds") were stationed in the School No. 57 building. Operators had previously attacked Russian fuel trucks on a highway in Crimea. As a result of the strike by a Su-34 fighter-bomber, the building was destroyed and 60 soldiers were killed.

Yes, Russia uses human wave tactics, while Ukrainian loses are less than 3000 in the last month.
I guess that's reflected in their respective mobilization methods.
That being said, Ukrainian drones seems to have found a way to hammer the Russians so Russians will have to work to find a solution soon
I should have clarified since it's not obvious on a post, I was being sarcastic about the human wave and Ukraine's very large kill ratio against Russia.
One country is forcing mobilization and preventing middle age males from leaving, the other is not.
But the drones issues is real and Russia needs fo find a solution to it. Otherwise they need to hit harder with drones, should have destroyed Odessa port completely by now
At Stalingrad, one of the worst battles in human history, the average survival time was 24 hours.
According to the CIA, the casualty rate in Ukraine is 48 times higher.
The Ukraine War has lasted 5 times longer than Stalingrad. That means Russian casualties in Ukraine are 240x that of Stalingrad, according to the CIA.
The USSR had 1.3 million casualties at Stalingrad. Going by American math, we multiply by 240 to get 320 million Russian casualties in Ukraine.
There was a Columbian mercenary that arrived on end of May in Ukraine. Had a two week training. By the first week of July his body and documents were recovered by the Russians, and he apparently did not survive his first engagement. His body was literally decapitated in the process. That's probably how long Ukrainian recruits survive in so called "meat units".
Lancets intercepting Ukrainian sea drones.
Geran Seeker drones striking ships towards Odessa.
Zelensky firing Federov, in my opinion, is a typical power move to remove potential rivals, and consolidate power by putting loyalists in the seats of power.
Another train gone, struck by a Geran in Zaporozhye.
Ships delivering military cargo to Ukraine gets struck by Geran-4 Seekers and now joined by Gerbera Seekers.
Geran-3 Seeker strikes a warehouse of fuels and lubricants used by the AFU. Chernihiv region.
Geran-4 Seekers strike a cargo ship carrying military goods in Chernomosk port in the Odessa region.
Three Ukrainian UAV control points in Alekseev-Druzhkovka hit by artillery of Group South. Group South forces have reached positions only 6.5km away from the Kramatorsk airfield. This airfield ironically is where the War of the Donbass started in 2014 when Ukraine landed special forces on the airfield and got ambushed by Donbass militias, resulting in casualties.

Ukrainian drones struck a wildberries warehouse. I thought this was a warehouse that was owned by a company called Wildberries as it's name, but it's starting to look like, yes, a storage for wildberries.
