Putin's Disaster: The Russian Military Is Bleeding to Death in Ukraine
Russian military, the month of November was the deadliest in the war in Ukraine so far. According to the official Ukrainian numbers, the Russian forces lost more than 15,000 troops killed and hundreds of tanks and artillery pieces, and other weapon systems in the past 30 days or so.
Russian Casualties in November in Ukraine
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense assesses that in November alone, its forces killed more than 16,400 troops, which means that the Ukrainians wounded between 32,800 and 49,000 Russians, if we go off from the standard one killed for three wounded formula. Moreover, the Ukrainians claim to have destroyed or captured 371 armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, 286 vehicles and fuel tanks, 216 tanks, 172 artillery pieces, 147 tactical unmanned aerial systems, 134 cruise missiles, 13 anti-aircraft batteries, 12 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS), 9 special equipment platforms, 4 fighter, bomber, and transport aircraft, and 4 helicopters. To be sure, the Ukrainian numbers are open to interpretation. But open-source intelligence corroborates up to a certain point. Recently, U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley assessed that Russia had lost more than 100,000 troops in the war so far.
Although the Russian forces on the ground are suffering extremely heavy casualties, the Russian leadership doesn’t seem willing to change up its tactics or strategy and keeps on making the same costly mistakes.
The Fight for Bakhmut
Most of the Russian casualties have taken place in the Donbas, in the vicinity of Bakhmut and Avdiivka. The Russian forces have been trying to capture the Ukrainian city for months now. Although they have recently gained some ground in the north and south of Bakhmut, the city still remains firmly in Ukrainian hands.
