    Of nine vehicles attached to the group’s mechanised infantry unit – not the only one involved in the battle – six were wrecked, three damaged but reparable, and one was unscathed.

    So that would be the same images that’s been doing the rounds over the last week, but its far from your initial claim that

    They lost a significant percentage of their western gear and thousands of people in this attempt so far.

    Stop trying to make it out to be more than it is. They lost 6 vehicles pushing through a minefield, I cant say if that’s good or bad, but we know from video’s taken from the actual point of view that the crew of the damaged Bradley’s survived and was evacuated. We also know some of them are being repaired

      That’s just one example, once you learn how google works you can see plenty of other similar stories in western media. Every time Ukraine does a push they lose multiple tanks and IFVs, this is documented. This has been going on for over two weeks now. Anybody capable of doing basic math can figure out that these numbers are in fact significant. Ukraine only got 60 or 80 leopoards, if they already lost 10% of that before even getting to the first line of defence that’s obviously not going well. The fact that you keep pretending this isn’t significant is pretty amazing to be honest.
