So how many people do you imagine have perished thus far for Putin's failed wet dream?
Aka ""Special Military Operation"" aka war and invasion of Ukraine.
The answer is far too many, no matter the numbers, which by the way look to be horrendous on both sides.

That's nice, but you were simply asked a question that you appear to have failed to answer.
Shall we try again, how many people do you imagine have perished thus far for Putin's failed wet dream?

Oryx data isn't all that great either, lot's of extrapolating involved with their data too (if it isn't photographic or video evidence, as they state on their website).
This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here.

In Germany we say:
Stell dir vor es ist Krieg und keiner geht hin
Imagine there is a war and no one goes there
Too bad Germany didn't do this when it really mattered.

They are not adding other than:

No extrapolating, it's only verified photographic/geolocated kills.

Well, you tried again, and apparently failed, once again, to answer a simple question.
If you refuse to participate with facts or even speculate, that explains a lot also.

Correction, not "kills", equipment losses.
Kills as in equipment kills. It's a monstrous amount, 2,000 tanks alone, and there's obviously much more they can't 100% verify.

I am asking you a simple question.
How many poor sods do you imagine have died or been blown apart for Putin's failed wet dream in Ukraine?
It's not rocket science, and you are disputing the numbers, aka 200,000 or thereabouts hence the reason i ask as to your opinion on the matter.

Ok great.
That still has nothing to do with the claim I was disputing.
Which was BS.

Why?
What does me guessing accomplish?
That's the exact type of thing I'm disputing.
Guessing and then stating it as dogma is BS.

Lets just make it simple.
Your boys are taking a hell of a beating. That's not in dispute.
Oryx, an independent team of analysts that has tracked open-source intelligence on equipment losses throughout the war, estimated that more than 1,700 Russian tanks have been destroyed, damaged or captured.

So why are the Russians having to pull the likes of antiquated T-64s out of mothballs and bring those to the front lines if indeed they are doing so well in Ukraine?
