Lockheed Martin delivers first M270A2 MLRS rocket/missile launcher to US Army | Defense News July 2022 Global Security army industry | Defense Security global news industry army year 2022 | Archive News year
American company Lockheed Martin’s Missiles and Fire Control Division delivered its first M270A2 MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) to the United States Army during a special ceremony on Tuesday, July 7, 2022.
All that is fine. But you need numbers to make that happen. One of the objectives of MLRS is interdiction, but nothing much can be done without numbers.
We now know that the Russian casualties are so low because regular troops are barely even fighting in offensives. Most of the fighting is being done by militias and PMC. Only artillery is being used by regular troops, and of course some additional units to support some thrusts that require considerable vehicle-based firepower.
Ukr isn't "resisting", the front is moving slowly by design. The Russians are simply forcing the Ukrainians to protect terrain that cannot be protected without taking high casualties.
The Russian tactic is simple. Russia starts pounding a major Ukr position. And as Ukrainians die, more come in to reinforce, and this cycle repeats. After enough of the infrastructure is destroyed, making the position untenable, the UAF retreat on their own. This way, Ukrainians continue taking large casualties, while the damage to infrastructure is localised and limited.
U.S. Generals Have Been Wrong on Ukraine. We Shouldn't Be Shocked
Despite what former generals keep saying, the current trends and military fundamentals reveal Ukraine is unquestionably losing this war.

There you go. Western propaganda versus reality. Watch the video in the quote first.

Garbage, garbage and garbage. Who are you trying to kid with 'Russian casualties are low'? The militias are negligible, they always were, 'militias/rebels/separatists' are broadly code for Russians.
The front is moving slowly because tanks are getting blown up and Russian logistics are being torn to pieces by strikes on ammo dumps, not to mention trainline sabotage.
The problem with that is that Ukrainian artillery can now outrange Russian artillery and it's vastly more accurate. Russia has lost ~1,100 pieces of artillery and MLRS, and lately it's been losing a lot of the things that go in them en masse too.
Russian losses are just as high as Ukrainian losses, some days higher. Notably Russia made several failed advances on 8th July and many ammo dumps were levelled. It lost 1200 men to death and injury and made zero gains. Since Ukraine withdrew from the pocket, Russia has made no advances and lost hundreds to death and injury every day, with crap blowing up behind their lines all over the place, explosions inside Russia, Russian rail lines exploding. 58 Russians killed at last 4 warehouse explosions alone.
Ukraine will continue fighting because it's their country. North Vietnam had half the population of Ukraine, suffered as many losses or more and still won. They won even though they were only able to inflict 1/15th of their losses on the US. By comparison Russia is getting its ars kicked, i.e. Russia is doing way worse than the US did in Vietnam, way, way worse, it will have exceed the US's entire Vietnam casualty figures by the end of October. And the scale of their equipment losses are something the US/NATO has never seen in any war. The US wasn't facing sanctions during the Vietnam War either, Russia is, that has a toll too. Russia can't sustain this for more than 3 years maximum. All Russia does by continuing in Ukraine is get closer to turning a military loss into complete self-destruction.
Tank's smoking, damaged tracks, it will be abandoned and collected later as a trophy, like the other 4.
There's no way to even square that number with this:
They lost damn near 5,000 multi-person vehicles (4678), never mind personnel, and Oryx have a backlog. These are fully-documented losses. The figures you believe are impossible.

Ukrainian losses by comparison:
Oryx has started proving to be unreliable.
Now Oryx says 1233 vehicles destroyed, captured or abandoned until today. But let's see what the Ukrainians themselves have to say.
Ukraine to U.S.Defense Industry: We Need Long-Range, Precision Weapons
Ukraine to U.S. Defense Industry: We Need Long-Range, Precision Weapons
And these numbers are as of a month ago. So 1233 by Orxy, but 2400 by the Ukrainians themselves, DESTROYED, not just abandoned or captured. And they are still lying about it. As per the Russians, Ukr's inventory is now almost entirely foreign. So that's over 6000 heavy weapons destroyed. A lot of the Oryx kills attributed to Russians are actually Ukrainian.
As I said before, most of the Ukr "kills" are merely isolated units killed in ones or twos, but Ukr is losing entire units at the brigade level. Many brigades have been pulled out with 80% losses. Hell, the Ukr general himself admits 50% losses, as of a month ago. That's 50% of their entire military.
The Ukrainian army began to create motorcycle ATGM crew units. Soldiers use the Metis 9K115 ATGM developed in 1978 with a range of one kilometer and move on Dnepr motorcycles
The moment of a Russian missile strike at a temporary deployment point for Ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries in the city of Chasov Yar in Ukraine was caught on video. During the analysis of the rubble, the dead in military uniform were found.
