Regarding the drone vs artillery discussion previously. Drones are better against small squads of units (since they can see them) while artillery is better against massed assaults (heavy AoE) or entrenched targets (penetration from other type of ammo). Is my understanding correct there? So artillery currently is mainly a counter attacking tool used to destroy fix points on your side of the grey zone before the enemy can bite and hold, forcing them to abandon the forward position.
This is what I've been hearing/reading as well.
The armies want to use tiny groups of units to infiltrate and move around, because bigger concentrations of troops become targets very quickly. When the frontline moves a bit (keeping in mind that it's not a clear distinction as outlined above), it's can be really hard to flush out some of these clusters of small units. Think areas filled with basements, dugouts, etc. So the frontline moves, the enemy units are trapped there. They can't be reinforced easily, they can't break out easily, and the other side just waits until they're exhausted, and either surrender or die out. It's grim stuff.

And at the same time Russians report losses of 40:1 on some fronts. Recently they lost 80 soldiers to capture a patch of trees where they found 2 Ukrainian bodies.

Is your point that 32.35 Ukrainians are dying for every dead Russian? Because that'd be insane.
Here's some alternative explanations:
1. Russia is slowly advancing and thus occupying areas where there are dead Ukrainians, while they are able to retrieve dead Russians from their own territory without needing to exchange.
2. Russia doesn't give a flying fuck about returning their dead. It's a logistical bother and just highlights to their populace how many are dying on the front. So Ukraine just throws them in mass graves/cremates them. A few token dead are exchanged for Ukrainian dead, because Ukraine does care to return deceased soldiers to their loved ones for proper burial.
There's probably another 15 explanations that have nothing at all to do with actual casualty proportions on the battlefield, but that's just what I thought of while typing the post.

His point is "I haven't gotten you mad by posting some dumb shit in a few days, time to get back in"

don't know why you are even engaging with him, he is talking to himself, answering to his own post. Dumb but what you gonna do? Ban for low IQ?

We have had this discussion with zeo about 3 times already. Don't bother. He just drops in every month with those stats, because they are the only ones that look even remotely good for his side. (Why a european would identify with the Russian side is beyond me, but zeo clearly does)

Please post the sources for these claims and make sure its a draft dodging youtuber wearing a shirt grifting money for far right neo-nazi military formations in the UKR army.

No, the point isn't the 32,35 to 1 ratio, I'm just relaying the only official casualty figures that can be verified by both sides. I don't believe you wrote out your second point with a straight face.

Yes, you do seem to have a negative reaction to verified numbers and statistics. 'It came to me in a dream' slop posted by copetubers is much more reliable.

And every month the numbers keep adding up. I think last time someone talked about more Russian bodies showing up after the glorious reconquest of Kupyansk where tens of thousands of dead Russians were left behind but I guess there were only 38 of them. Who knows?
You've been copemaxxing for the last how many pages throwing around numbers backed up by literally nothing and going off into wild fantasies based on what is arguably the information credibility equivalent of dog shit. You act like posting real information causes you physical pain, take it easy.

Weak, inadequate, and sad people are always drawn towards authoritarianism because they need a daddy to tell them they're not failures.

Why did you even bother answering me, I'm going to refer you back to our ongoing discussion about fascism in Russia that you keep dropping, you know I'm going to refer you back to that conversation, and then you're going to pretend it isn't happening again. You should have a little more respect for how you spend your own time lol.

Zeo's inability to cope with Russia failing to take Ukraine within a week is the gift that keeps on giving.

I love how for like a year it was "how come you guys aren't talking about Pokrovsk" which is still contested, 2 years later.
Instead they switched to body exchange numbers because that's what the marching orders from Kremlin instructed the propagandists to push given the lack of overall results.

This info actually came from Russian milbloggers being dismayed at poor tactics employed by their army.

What’s the theory on how Russia with the way bigger army, brand new top end Russian tech, far higher recruitment, are taking Ukraine at a crazy slow pace?

Don't you know Russia is fighting all of NATO in Ukraine? All of their soldiers, planes and vehicles are there. Just like in the Black Sea it's the French and British nuclear submarines and carriers that are sinking the Russian fleet. Surely can't be a country without a navy, right?

He thinks that the dead body exchange rate is a completly offical and valid measurement of casualties on both sides.

He actually says that it, both, is and isn't. When asked if he thinks it's a proxy for KIA ratio, he denied. Then he called the numbers "official casualty numbers". Those are two mutually exclusive positions.

How many more times are you guys gonna get baited by him, just ignore him, he just wants to get a reaction out of you and waste your time.
