Depending on newssource, Russian casualities range from 500K to 1 million. Who is counting? No data avilable concerning Ukrainian losses.

When you only use Western mainstream news sources, you get very skewed information and a very skewed narrative of what you believe to be "reality." There is plenty of data available concerning Ukraine losses, you'll just refuse to entertain the non-Western news sources which provide that information. Instead, you ingest Western MSM propaganda hook, line, and sinker and believe you have "the truth." You have a skewed view of reality instead.

This is a war between Russia and NATO backed ukraine.

Without NATO , this war would have been over years ago.

Its right vs might. Right always wins. Russia is a loser since day #1.

Big difference between strategic long range drones and tactical battlefield drones. The former can sit out of harms way but this isn't the case the the latter. On the battlefield drone teams are the number one target and no mercy is shown by either side. Will AI eventually take over battlefield and strategic drones? It's very likely but not yet.

When I wrote drone , I meant it not just the flying kind,

but "robots" too.

Just look at Musk's Optimus robots, and other countries (China)

are even more advanced .

The terminators are coming not just to find John Connor 😉, but to fight

wars (and control people).

Sure. There are also UGV's, USV's and UUV's. Here's a look at the US navy's AI USV's vessels if you're interested. Unfortunately as is the case with this video, YouTube is now also full of AI. Also worth noting is that it won't be that long before Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) have complete autonomous combat capacity.

Agree but there are those that don't rely on MSM for their information.

Wrong. Russia lost long before their foul attack on Ukraine even started.

Genuine question ... but the media worldwide seems to have taken it's eye of this conflict. We don't even get weekly, monthly updates anymore.

What is the current status of the war ? Who is winning? Likely future outcome opinon?
