👍 It’s always interesting to compare numbers with each other!

I completely agree with you that it’s time to increase, it has been for a long time, but I think Russia is starting to struggle to keep up, if one increases now, they would probably have to give up by spring/summer.

Here’s another example that provides perspective:
The average losses of personnel at the beginning of the war, from Feb 24, 2022, to July 31, 2022, were 198/day.
Between August 1, 2024, and today, Jan 24, 2025, the average is 1405/day.

So far this year, the average is 1552/day. Many of us thought it was completely unsustainable in the long run when it exceeded 500/day in the fall of 2022.
Now it’s three times as unsustainable!

Russian military personnel
826820/1070 ≈ 773 (1500)

Tanks
9852/1070 ≈ 9.2 (2)

Combat vehicles, etc.
20508/1070 ≈ 19.2 (11)

Artillery
22295/1070 ≈ 20.8 (39)

Soft vehicles
34992/1070 ≈ 32.7 (87)

In itself, no news if you have been following the loss figures for a while, but still think they say something, namely that now should be a golden opportunity to provide support to Ukraine that would be the final blow for Russia.
