All ships are always trying to catch themselves on fire so if you’re not careful, they catch fire. There was a ten year period where every ship I personally dealt with caught fire. Usually without my help.

If you're on a ship that hasn't had a fire I would start looking right now. Why bother trying to flood through the e suction check valve, just pull a sea strainer with the cadet, good chance they open the inlet valve cause they "want to see the water come out".

Fitting that pictures of flaming ships are being posted as I read this article: https://www.businessinsider.com/nato-official-40000-russian-troops-have-been-killed-captured-injured-2022-3?utm_source=reddit.com NATO is saying 40,000 Russians are dead, wounded, or captured. 40,000 people. This is insane. Can someone tell Putin to stop punching himself in the dick?

If I'm not mistaken, the ship on fire is the Orsk and the fleeing ships are Ceasar Kunikov and Novocherkassk.

Cimber posted:Ship is wrecked and is just going to be salvage. Internal heat is going to melt everything inside the hull. Going off current US capability and resources, if thats the Orsk its probably a pretty big deal. MARAD puts a pretty high value on ship to shore cranes when it comes to MSP vessels and it looks like the other LSTs don't have gantry cranes from a quick glance. Port infrastructure being damaged would just emphasize the importance.

Previously people have posted numbers like 10,000-17,000 dead and 17,000+ wounded. Add in deserters and captures and 40,000 is not unreasonable

Any of these causality estimates are extremely low confidence but even just as far as a ballpark wild-rear end guess goes it's clear there are going to be a lot of unhappy families in Russia.

Losing this many troops before even getting into serious city warfare is a bad sign for the Russian Army, heavens know how many casualties they'll take trying to secure Mariupol.

According to the Institute for the Study of War maps, Russians are already deep within Mariupol on all sides.

The 40k number came from a NATO intelligence official, so it may be based upon SIGINT and HUMINT more than OSINT, and therefore a bit more accurate. With that being said, I'm not sure even Russia knows how many troops they have left at this point.

They started with ~100K so that’s not good. Pooty decimated a giant chunk of their overall military because he’s a dumb weiner with delusions of grandeur.

The fact that two different sources looked at with two sets of data and came to a similar enough answer kind of increases the confidence from low to "i'd bet a 20".

Now all but like 5% of the reserves have moved in and are promptly loving up like those that cut the trail. And Belarus is still mulling over entry. Nice title. Who'd you piss off? Cspam?
