So likely those conscripts will be used to secure the captured territories during the muddy season, while the professional units will be freed to do other operations. Sounds like a good plan, I wonder how long does it take for a conscript to be able to operate an air-defense system. I also agree with the sentiment that the real war has yet to begin, we haven't seen the full extent of Russia's air force and their other capabilities yet, and we may see them used for operations maybe Phases 2 and above.
No offense but if you in any way believe in these figures (of Russian losses) even if you say it is half or less than half then you might as well believe in the tooth fairy.
I think the Ukrainian forces have been within 20km of Kherson for weeks because that is where the Russian south west push stopped

You could be right .I guess the strategy now has been taking out Ukrainian heavy weapons and ability to move troops .Look at the losses above and once the main offensive begins, it will be a bad for the Ukranian army since the West cant replace the losses fast enough .
