>>513423405You just pull numbers out of your ass. You don’t know shit.
Here’s some actual numbers backed up by data:
Average Ukie brigade strength per their doctrine is 3500-4000 depending on type of brigade (mechanized, armoured, air assault)
There are 7 identified brigades operating in Pokrosvk.
In late 2023-2025 Western estimates said Ukrainian brigades were operating at 50-70% average strength.
Knowing this, we can assume:
7th Air Assault Corps (probably 2 brigades understrength) ~4,500–5,000
1st Azov Corps (likely brigade-sized in Pokrovsk, 2,500–3,000)
93rd Mechanized Brigade ~2,500
68th Jaeger Brigade ~2,000
117th Heavy Mechanized Brigade ~2,000
157th Mechanized Brigade ~1,500 or less
25th Airborne Brigade ~2,500
At most they have 18,000 to 19,000 troops there, but probably closer to 15,000 in reality. If attrition was really bad we’re talking between 11,000 and 14,000 soldiers.
So if we take Russian claims seriously that they have amassed 100,000 soldiers in the Pokrosvk direction. We’re talking about 7:1, or even 10:1, in favour of the Russians, and they still haven’t taken that tiny little suburb 20 km away from their main logistics hub in Donestk city, a 30 minute car ride away. That’s so pathetic. No wonder Russians frag themselves. It must be hellish out there.
