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




"Russia is suffering nearly 2,000 casualties a day trying to recapture the Kursk region and seize ground along the main front line in eastern Ukraine, according to Kyiv’s military.
The figure is almost double Russia’s casualty rate over the summer, highlighting a push by the Kremlin to secure as much territory as possible before Donald Trump, the US president-elect, potentially tries to impose a peace deal when he takes office in January.
In Kursk, Ukrainian soldiers insisted they were repelling the 50,000 Russian troops that the Kremlin has tasked with retaking the partially occupied region.
Anastasiia Blyshchyk, a spokesman for Ukraine’s 47th separate mechanised brigade, said the situation was difficult but “under control” and that Russian forces were suffering “dark days”.
A video, purportedly filmed in the region on Monday, showed a column of Russian armoured vehicles, each carrying around 30 soldiers, driving one after another into a minefield and then blowing up."

Russia is suffering nearly 2,000 casualties a day trying to recapture the Kursk region and seize ground along the main front line in eastern Ukraine, according to Kyiv’s military.

A video, purportedly filmed in the region on Monday, showed a column of Russian armoured vehicles, each carrying around 30 soldiers, driving one after another into a minefield and then blowing up.



DeepState, a leading Ukrainian military blogger, said that fighting had focused on the village of Novoivanovka, 10 miles west of Sudzha, the centre of the Ukrainian salient.
It reported that Ukrainian forces had destroyed 18 of 29 armoured vehicles sent to capture the village and killed up to 300 Russian soldiers, but still described “difficult days” for the men as they repelled waves of attacks.
“The enemy does not stop trying to achieve at least some tactical success in the Kursk region,” DeepState said." (Much more)

At what point do the Russian proletariat take back their country?
 
This is such a messed up article. It's just the perfect microcosm into how ****ed up of a society Russia is. "A 35 year old man who fights for a year and is killed would receive the equivalent of $150,000 - that is more than he would have earned cumulatively working as a civilian until the age of 60." And these payments are seen as revitalizing the economy - despite that they will be living in towns with no men and they have killed off a generation in a nation that was already dying.
 
Those numbers are effing unbelievable. Man oh man, how much more can they take?
Given that they are now losing shitloads of "vehicles" on a daily basis, I would say a lot. Meaning, they are sending wave after wave of human cannon fodder in non-armored vehicles. I sure they have hundreds of thousands of them to transport millions of bodies to be blown apart by mines and incoming fire.
