As I've suggested for awhile, there is a worsening of the Russian KIA vs. WIA ratio, due to a lack & systemic breakdown of medical evac, the people and armored vehicles required to do it, wounded not being sent to hospitals, as they go AWOL, used instead in wave assaults, increasing drones w/ multiple strikes on target, etc.

Telenko puts the current KIA vs. WIA ratio as MUCH worse than WW1 levels, with herds of PIGS having learned, Pavlovian-style, that if they hear FPVs, that means food.

Holy crap. No dystopian science fiction ever came up with that.

The 30-50 feral hogs have gone to war and have received military training. America is not ready for their return.

Trump will certainly lift Assault Rifle bans, 'murica is saved!

Cody needs to do another feral hog episode, doesn't he? We already had swimming and teleporting pigs and now we are getting combat hogs. The revolution will not be televised.

Jesus fucking Christ if those numbers are close to reality that’s fucking horrific. Fuck rich men and fuck their stupid petty wars. Leave Agamemnon to cry in his fucking tent on his own and go to the beach fuck.

Do you want man-eating pigs? Because that's how you get man-eating pigs!

[–] [email protected] 38 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Pretty much any pig is a man eating pig, from my understanding. They've been used to dispose of bodies before.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (13 children)

Yes I was making the joke that they would actually be hunting humans for food.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Would not be surprised if some of those bodies of russian soldiers weren't quite corpses yet by the time the pigs got to them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Of all the horrid ways to go, this has got to be near the top. Eaten alive by pigs after being abducted by Putins goons and dumped on the battlefield to die with a gun.

Hence the term 'as greedy as a pig'.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Pigs are very much omnivores, indeed

I know, they’re gathering like witches at black masses!

One can only hope that the war ends in Russia's defeat to stop the senseless loss of lives for the ego of a fat, old man.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Putin's not fat though?

Won't they eat and destroy the seeds?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Orcs are more nutritious than seeds. Or actually not, but it's easier to gorge on orc flesh.

Edit also some seeds survive digestion and thus spread

Ya, definitely. In my mind they were already shelled, but that doesn't make sense. With the shell on it might survive.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Guess the russians are learning what a nemesis is

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

So, pigs eat humans? I had no idea it went both ways.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Is that a decision on the Russian side or does the nature of the war not permit medevac?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Anecdotal, but I have seen videos of Ukrainian soldiers evacuating their wounded and even Russian POWs while under active shelling. In one helmet cam video they entered a burning and partially collapsed building under artillery fire to dig a squad member out from under the rubble.

On the other hand, I've seen more than one instance of Russians throwing their own wounded out of moving vehicles to go faster or just straight up shooting each other after an injury.

It essentially boils down to the motivations and relationships within UA's and RU's armies and not to the nature of this war.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

I did see more videos of Russians carrying litters in the early stages of the war. Unfortunately that video was recorded from a dropper drone so...

And also the fpv threat is so huge on the front line that nearly every Russian I've seen try to render aid gets hit by a followup drone. And that's to say nothing about evac logistics.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Seems deliberate. Russia does not value soldier's lives. As the OP said, they had better WIA evac in friggin' WW1! Certainly, if it was just the nature of the war, Ukraine would be sporting similar numbers.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

Orcs cost rubles, the dead cost nothing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

I think it's the (fear of) drones. Most russian troops don't have any effective detection or countermeasures against them. Artillery hits are often followed up by drone attacks and Ukrainian infantry also heavily relies on reconnaissance and support from drones.

There are so many videos from the early stages of the war starting with a single russian soldier getting wounded by artillery, a drone grenade, mine or sniper. Attempts to rescue them then lead to more and more drone casualties. Getting stuck in this situation then makes it a matter of time before artillery, more drones, or Ukrainian ground troops show up to finish the job.

The result are panicked retreats where everyone tries to save themselves. The general lack of training and resources probably doesn't help either.

Just because a soldier ist dead, does not mean he does not recieve pay....
