Day 1: Ukrainian claims of Russian losses – very interesting

Best Independent Website that monitors Russian Tank losses in Ukraine War
Oryx is a brilliant independent Dutch website that monitors lots of military losses including the losses of Russian and Ukrainian tanks. They ONLY count vehicles that they can get photos of and can prove that these are the correct vehicles that were destroyed. This link will take you to see the verified Russian tank losses and you can click to see the photos.
These are the only figures I can find of the casualties suffered by the Russians. It does NOT include troops killed. There is no mention of troops killed. But for these figures to be true the Russians must have suffered casualties.
The Ukranians claim the Russians lost:-
7 Aircraft
6 Helicopters
130 armoured vehicles
30 tanks
Based on the above, the Russians must have lost a few hundred troops killed on day 1.
There has to be a minimum of 200 dead at least on the Russian side, perhaps 400 injured. These are the best rough guesses I can come up with.
The only thing that really bothers me, and reeks of Ukrainian incompetance, is that the Russians seized the Chernobyl nuclear site without a fight.
There seems to be some indication that someone is sending weapons to the Ukranians. But I don’t know who, or how many.
If the Ukranians can just hang in there for a week without collapsing, then this can turn things around for them.
But the USA says Putin will take Kyiv in days. So that would be VERY BAD. If that happens, then this turns into a mess and Putin wins.
Video: How America built UFOs
This video is about military secrecy. We study a documentary from 2011 when a lot of Area 51 information was declassified and when some people, including a high level CIA official were allowed to speak.I discuss my time when I was young when I was in the South African Navy and I handled Secret and Top Secret files and how these things work in real life.
