This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

"Okay, the AD was on vacation, but the Russian military still fulfilled its tasks. Can only mean: The long-range weapons of #Ukraine were successfully intercepted by helicopters and/or jets"
If that's the actual size of the missile....I'm surprised it was just damaged and not obliterated.

"In terms of the number of deaths per day, the American Civil War is still at the top, with an average of 425 deaths per day, while the First and Second World Wars have averages of roughly 100 and 200 fatalities per day respectively.Aug 4, 2023"
but that of course is nothing to Soviet daily casualties - "4 808 soldiers died every day on the Eastern Front fighting."
What was the average amount of Russian deaths a day on the Eastern front in WWII?
Answer (1 of 5): OK, like John Dewar Gleissner has correctly indicated, military and civilian deaths combined amount to about 26 million, which, divided by the number of days (1418) gives 18 335 citizens of the Soviet Union dead per day on average. There are quite a few things to be added for th...
Soviet Union population 1940 was 194,000,000 and Russia now has 143,000,000 or about 50,000,000 less bodies to sacrifice but still far less painful per day compared to WW2.

The difference is that the USSR was sacrificing those bodies to preserve its existence. The Nazis were going to take over the whole country, and potentially cleanse millions of soviets, if they weren't stopped.This may have been posted in the past but for comparison -

Russia is sacrificing these bodies today for the opposite reason in that they want to take over a whole country. Putin doesn't want to look like a fool for invading another country so he keeps doubling down on the invasion.
It's outrageous that so far Putin has been successful selling this war as another Great Patriotic War. And all of this death and destruction is to just save his own skin.
An explosion rang out in the Russian city of Taganrog, Rostov Oblast, on the morning of 7 November; Governor Vasily Golubev denied that air defence was responding.

That’s the only way I think you could reasonably support calling the stalemate. Immediate entry into NATO.
