For context the United States lost just under 5000 soldiers in Iraq. Every day we'd tune on to see soldiers returned for burial now imagine an Iraq war casualty rate every single week. Surely something has to give.

The manpower losses are very high, but we've seen them before during offensives, and they've been a normal thing for Russia's crumbling Kharkiv offensive.

65 artillery systems is wild, though. That's a burn rate that would run Russia out of its remaining artillery pieces in like 100 days.

There must have been some groups of them hit by ATACMs or something.
