Ukraine invasion

Anyway, gain of function and increased lethality research are all the rage!

You are correct. Maybe it's time it went on the list of "things you just do not do. Ever."?
You know, like cloning humans. Slavery.
I am sure there are others, but this belongs, in my book.

What’s that mean? Is that casualties, or does that mean equipment failure, which then translates to loss of fighting force “ability”?

"Russia has likely lost one-third of its ground combat forces in Ukraine"

I interpreted that as combat troop casualties. But I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time today.

One third, eh?

And this particular 'bon mot' has been verified by...?

Believe nothing presented as fact when wars are staggering on...

Newspeak. Oceania is always winning the war.

That seems like the traditional way. For a little more insight into the oligarchs and their relationship to Putin -

This makes me so happy.

It will add strain to the russian logistics and make it harder elsewhere too.

Слава Україні!

Russia has likely lost one-third of its combat forces in Ukraine, UK Defense Ministry says​

https://www.foxnews.com/world/russia-lost-one-third-combat-forces-ukraine-uk-intel-defense-ministry

From what I heard and understand Russia has lost 1/3 of the troops initially sent to invade. The number i saw was an estimate of 27k. So they are saying Russia had 90k troops at the onset of the invasion and have lost roughly 1/3.

The Russian military is much larger but spread out.

It's hard to take something from a man who has very little to begin with.

Ukrainian Soldiers Lay Down Arms at Mariupol’s Azovstal Steel Plant​

Brave lads. They fought for a long time, isolated from all support. They were ordered to lay down their arms in order to save all the wounded, who could not receive aid and were dying.

Russia paid a steep price for this victory.

I am reminded of a song of the Irish rebellion containing the lyrics:

"We may have brave men, but we'll never have better: Glory Oh, Glory Oh"

You need not agree with their cause to see they are among the bravest men of this age.
