BREAKING: The Pentagon estimates that Russia has lost nearly 1,000 tanks, 350 artillery pieces, three dozen bomber fixed wing aircraft and over 50 helicopters in Ukraine

Some analysis showed ORYX was capturing around 80% of RuZZian tank losses. That would been nearly 900 kills. So "nearly" 1000 is possible.

The Pentagon estimates

We don't believe the PentaGram.

[freespirit2012]

So almost what we lost in Afghanistan.

[heshtesh]

I wish I cared....not really.

Like the old joke about lawyers at the bottom of the sea, this sounds like a good start on reducing Russia’s bully approach to foreign affairs.

[SpeedyInTexas]

How many tanks were lost in Afghanistan?

[Night Hides Not]

Pentagon estimates haven’t been reliable since Vietnam.

[SpeedyInTexas]

The losses of your motherland hurt?

[Afterguard]

They weren’t lost. They were discarded.

[SpeedyInTexas]

How many tanks were discarded?

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Twitter & the Pentagon wouldn’t lie right?

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Yeah, the Pentagon, bastion of truth. Such a good track record.

Hey Pentagon, when’s the last war you morons won? Sit down.

[Afterguard]

How many discarded tanks are acceptable to you wiseguy?

[TonyinLA]

Maybe. But they also have every reason to lie since $58billion needs to destroy something, right?

Nato’s war on Serbia had similar claims. When the bombing stopped, Nato generals were amazed how little military targets they destroyed were actually ‘targets’ [for example, open a microwave door, turn it on, and it has the same electronic signature as ground radar for missles]. Nato was REAL GOOD at destroying hospitals, markets and passenger trains, though.

I remember “destroyed” Serb MIG’s being flown out of the war zone. So we’ll see, I guess.

Tokyo Rose, 1945:

“Today the Japanese Imperial Navy sank 3 American aircraft carriers, and threw the Marine invaders off of Iwo Jima.”

[Sacajaweau]

They have/had 2800 tanks and 10,000 tanks in storage and 8500 armored vehicles.

I’ve seen some conservative estimates that say the Russians are spending about a billion per day. I don’t recall what their gas sales were to Europe, but they exceeded that. Still, it’s a lot of stuff they can’t easily replace while the embargo is in force. Take apart analysis says their stuff is full of components bought from the West. Apparently, their only tank manufacturer has shut down due to sanctions.

[Its All Over Except ...]

We must all believe the geniuses involved in the Afghanistan withdrawal!

TV says so...

I mean, they said Kabul wouldn’t fall, among many other whoppers.

[SpeedyInTexas]

I did a quick search. It appears 12 tanks were captured by the Taliban when they seized power.

Very different from the 1000 RuZZia has lost.
