>we would have photo and video evidence of it
we do, we also have photo and video evidence of russia losing in the materiel department too, which explains why we barely ever see russian armor anymore.
>the amount of footage released
>by the AFU
1: the AFU is not the only one releasing footage, there's plenty of indendent posters showing me fresh Total Zigger Death every day.
2: plenty of Total Zigger death simply doesn't get captured on camera.
but the massive disparity between dead ziggers being posted and dead ukranians being posted across the internet speaks pretty clearly to the massively negative loss ratio that russia is suffering.
>strategically worthless
taking a few hundred meters of burnt out nothing with no economic value to extract out of it, which you will have to defend forever with your paid army despite the fact that your economy is collapsing, is indeed strategically worthless.
hitting ukranian bridges would be useful.
striking ukranian factories and drone assemblies would be useful
actually taking the capital or another regionally significant place would be useful
taking the so manieth hyperfortress village while your army travels further and further back into antiquity and your economy turns to dust is strategically irrelevant.
you'd have made a great general in ww1 germany.
