Russia has suffered more than 100,000 casualties since December, Biden administration estimates​

The Biden administration announced new estimated casualty figures Monday from Russia’s winter offensive in Ukraine, saying that the country has suffered more than 100,000 casualties since December and the "stunning" number is a key signal that Moscow's effort has “backfired.”


The US is defining the term “casualty” as both wounded and killed.

Kirby, who serves as National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, noted that “nearly half” of those casualties were fighters with the Russian private company Wagner— whom CNN has reported have experienced horrific experiences on the battlefield following minimal training and little leadership.

Kirby lambasted a recent assertion from Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who said Sunday that his group had only suffered 94 casualties, Kirby calling that “just a ludicrous claim.”

Pressed on the source of the new 100,000 figure, Kirby said it was “based on some downgraded intelligence that we’ve been able to collect.” He declined to provide information on Ukrainian casualties, noting that the US has “never” provided such information and would defer to Ukraine on the matter.

Kirby added that the Ukrainians “are the victims here, Russia is the aggressor, and I'm simply not going to put information in the public domain that's going to, again, make it any harder for the Ukrainians."

The official noted that it's ultimately Ukraine's decision to declassify and make their casualty figures public. "I don't need to abide by that same sense of courtesy for the Russians — haven't done it and I ain't going to start now," he said.

With regards to fighting on the ground: Kirby said that “most” of Russia’s efforts have “stalled and failed” as the battle for the eastern city of Bakhmut continues. He added that Russia has made “incremental” gains in the town that has “very little strategic value.”

“The bottom line is that Russia's attempted offensive has backfired. After months of fighting and extraordinary losses, Russia continues to be focused on a single Ukrainian city with limited strategic value," the official said.

Kirby said any decision about a spring counteroffensive from Ukraine would be “for President (Volodymyr) Zelensky to make,” but that the US will continue to provide military aid and support.

The US official also told reporters a future package for Ukraine would be unveiled "very soon."

"What we want to stay focused on is making sure that we're helping them be as ready as they can be for whenever they choose to step off. And that means, obviously, in material support,” he told reporters.

Russia's attack on Pavlograd deprives Ukrainian brigades of resources for advance.

Chairman of the We Are Together with Russia movement said late on Sunday that the Russian forces had carried out strikes on railroad infrastructure and depots for ammunition and fuel in Pavlograd, which Ukrainian troops had been accumulating for an offensive toward Zaporozhye.
 
Three brigades of the Ukrainian armed forces, whose redeployment to the Zaporozhye area completed on April 30, will not be able to shift to active combat actions due to loss of ammunition and fuel stores in Pavlograd as a result of Russia’s attack, chairman of the We Are Together with Russia movement Vladimir Rogov told TASS on Monday.
 
Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, the commander of Ukraine’s Land Forces, said that Ukraine launched counterattacks in Bakhmut, Donetsk Oblast, forcing Russian troops to abandon some positions.

Russian extensive military defensive setup suggests “deep concern” over a major Ukrainian breakthrough, the U.K. Defense Ministry said in its daily intelligence update on May 1.

“This is how the Russians want to destroy our “leopards”:

The Bild publishing house wrote that nothing good awaits German tanks in Ukraine.

“ Ukraine is preparing for a counter-offensive – and at the same time it will rely on modern battle tanks that were sent to it by Western partners. Including the German tank Leopard. But the Russian invaders are ready. And three weapons systems of the Russian army pose a particular danger to the "leopards".
The greatest danger to the "leopards" are modern anti-tank guided guns.
They are mainly used by small infantry units from camouflaged positions. The new Russian models have been specially designed to deal with modern main battle tanks such as the Leopard-2: the power of tandem hollow-charge guided missiles sometimes exceeds one meter of armored steel - enough to penetrate almost all modern main battle tanks in almost all places. .

Zifuatazo ni aina mbalimbali za vifaa vya maangamizi makubwa ya vifaru vya kisasa zitakazotumiwa na Urusi.


German Bild cites three types of weapons that the Russian Federation is preparing to destroy German tanks during the Ukrainian counteroffensive:

1. Anti-tank guided missiles.

ATGMs are the "biggest threat" to Leopard tanks. Modern Russian ATGMs are equipped with a wire guidance system, a wire is pulled behind the missile, and the gunner is forced to control the missile's flight through the sight.

In particular, newer Russian models, starting with the 9K135, have been specifically designed to deal with modern main battle tanks such as the Leopard 2.

During the 2006 Lebanese war, Hezbollah terrorists were able to take out several Israeli Merkava tanks with Russian Metis-M systems.

Similar to the Russian "Metis-M" of the Ukrainian "Stugnoy-P", the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed many of the 2000 Russian tanks lost in Ukraine.

Now "the roles have changed" and Ukraine will go into a tank offensive, writes Bild.

2. Anti-tank mines.

Here, Russian mines TM-62 and analogues with 7-8 kg of explosives are cited as an example.

"Timely detection and clearance of such minefields will be one of the most important tasks of Ukrainian engineering teams," writes Bild.

3. The main battle tanks of Russia.

Although tank duels are a rarity for the current war, and the Russian army has lost many of the latest tanks that lag behind the more advanced Leopards, the 125-mm cannon of the T-72B3, T90A / S / M and T-80BVM tanks pose a threat to the armor of German vehicles.

Therefore, in tank duels, the decisive role will be played not by the technical data of the vehicles, but by the skill of the crews and the quality of intelligence work.
