In terms of force deployment, Ukraine and Russia are in 2 different situations - Russia needs to have a functional and vibrant economy and by definition taking able bodied men out of normal industry and sending them to the front is economically destructive. So, minimizing casualties, and having "willing" forces rather than mobiks is important. But, without a doubt, there is a manpower issue, and the front remains enormous.

Whereas, Ukraine has no economy, it is entirely financially supported by the West. The only limiting factor here is the physical number of men that Ukraine can send to the front. Which is a terrible, awful thought, that Ru may have to kill upwards of a million Ukrainian men before this has a chance of ending.

I don't like that sadhguru dude. I think he's a cheap conman. A sad guru indeed.

I like very much the Russian 'tricks' to foil e.g. radar and such. :)
