This is verifiably false, theres plenty of images of T-62's in Ukraine with Russian markings and with Russian style anti drone / RPG cages ontop of them.

You can find images of ~80 captured / destroyed Russian T-62's here.

But they have literally fielded BMPT's, T90's and S400's.

They are literally fielding there latest stuff

So .. what is it .. they're fielding junk because they have no new stuff, or they're fielding new stuff, and its effective?

Keep in mind, the Russians are quite capable of replacing every tank lost ..

I cannot take this source seriously when it just repeats what TASS says.

They are claiming that this Subarmine.

Is not going to have any increased repair time compared to when it didn't have two gaping holes in it?.

Thats obviously not true.

On second look this source is literally just Russian propaganda.

> I had forgotten to post this a while back. Ukrainian journalist Roman Revedzhuk who had previously run for office and was involved in Ukrainian politics for a long time revealed that he had received an insider report from the SBU that Ukraine had more than 310,000 KIA as of July:

Who would believe such obvious nonsense?.

helpfulContrib, an account that was green just last week, sure seems to post a lot of things that Vlad would like “get out there”.

Hey, that's rather discriminating.
