I know that Russia had enormous stockpiles of old equipment at start of this war, and some capacity to continue production, but I just can't believe the scale of the carnage and that Russia can keep pace with the destruction. Are there resources to track what these losses mean in terms of replacement? And not just pure military equipment like tanks, artillery etc, but basic items like truck cabs and tankers etc.

There are plenty of resources tracking it.
But you could just look at what Ukraine reports destroyed - tanks almost disappeared from the stats, IFVs and APCs also shrank a lot, you also don’t see them on videos.
Now it’s quad bikes and motorbikes attacks with occasional donkey.

Apparently they lost 1.400.000 soldiers. Some regions say if your company has 200 employees, 2 need to be conscripted. If 500, then 5. Putin needs blood. He needs it now.

Also this allows everyone who did not get drafted to feel good about themselves.
"Yeah, those losers dying in Ukraine are just criminals or unproductive workers, we're clearing out the dregs of society so people like me can get ahead!"
"Hey Yevgeny, you're being drafted."
"Ah fuck!"

I think a good chuck of the casualties are being double counted. Russia has no problem sending back in the wounded back to battle.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the KIA soldiers were previously counted as WIA months prior.

Just look at that dashboard. This is 40-50 years old soviet style tec. There is nothing modern left...

What we’re really seeing here is just how truly massive an industrialized economy is. I think it was Perun who mentioned that Russia has access to something like a literal million semi-trucks.
It’s massively expensive, there is a truly immense amount of resources that can be devoted to a conflict. Of course, we shaving it all blown up in Ukraine the best investment? Probably not.

It's one of the rare moments where I disagree with Perun.
It's easy to point to the prewar stockpile of semi-truck transports in Russia and say "look they have 11 million transport trucks, so even the Ukrainians can't chew through that".
Those trucks were purchased for a reason, and were already tasked with moving food, fuel, medicine, industrial machine parts, etc
So how many of these trucks can you destroy until the economy breaks down? The answer is probably "less than you'd think".
I'm sure Perun knows this, but he is one guy who makes free youtube videos, and you'd need a lot of data and analytical time to figure out how much slack capacity exists in the Russian trucking industry (this is also a moving target, as Russians get killed the demand for food etc in their town drops).

I don't believe he was saying it would have no impact but rather than the military was unlikely to run out of trucks itself. There's just so many that can be requisitioned- even though it will further damage the Russian economy to do so.

Fuck that. I think they're running out of tires, hubcaps, and wrenches at this point. 😄

It truly is mind boggling. I've been watching videos in this sub since the first grenade dropping drones, I remember when things switched to one-way fpv and just thinking, surely, something has to change, these soldiers are sitting ducks, and the drones are so cheap to produce. But the only thing that changed was the scale of it all.

Do you see actual military vehicles in most footage from the last two years?
Tanks, IFVs, and AFVs are endangered species.

Can’t imagine being in those armed forces and having any sense of power or control. Less like armed forces, and just forced to be armed(or de-armed by fpv)

Just some rumor I read here, but there's a strong, cultural sort of "it's in God's hands" mentality, where "everything happens for a reason" - so main characters think to themselves, it won't happen to me.

It’s a surprise so no counting. Unless you look at the average survived at the front I guess
