Exactly. They saw an opportunity to move the battlefield into Russia instead of Ukraine. Now Russia is forced to fight for every square meter of its own territory, while Ukrainians can choose the most advantageous defense lines. They can execute tactical retreats in future to deplete Russian forces without suffering a morale hit from ceding territory. Simultaneously, Russia must divert a lot of forces from Ukraine, weakening their position there and creating new opportunities for Ukraine.

What threat is so severe that it requires 600000 casualties, yet you don't have to defend the border? The west needs to look at this "riddle" and give our heads a shake. German lawmakers who hold back Taurus, US State Department officials who put rules on using HIMARS, etc., have to realize they are defending Putin. That's his strategy.

Partially true, but pukin is a glue to hold many broken parts together, this is literally his internal mediation role for decades. Without him and his jerk circle - this parts will break apart immediately, imho And anyone after pukin will not posses same resources as pukin now. Pukin already ruined alot of his own power with arguably bad decisions and military tops jailing. So such change will certainly have a lot of positive momentum in it

Permanently capturing territory was likely not what the plan was. If you go over the trail of events it started as an ambitious raid, that kept succeeding and had more and more resources given to it. The idea is likely to cause as much destruction as far into the Russian homeland as possible and then leave, forcing Russia to waste a stupid amount of men and resources fortifying a border it had otherwise mostly left alone. Which is going to have a domino effect all along the rest of the lines. That's not to say Ukraine won't stay if Russia goes full stupid, but Ukraine digging in at all cost is likely not in the cards.

You make the same mistake most redditors make in thinking Russia just thinks and behaves like the caricature in our minds. Putin doesn't give a shit about civilian damage or lost lives and the people fleeing to Moscow can't really protest or they'd be hauled off to jail. Russia will eventually wear Ukraine down with wave after wave of canon fodder, and then steadily gain back the territory. There's an eventual cost to all this for Russian society but Putin's gambit is that he'll win before the bill comes due.

Holding the territory would fundamentally change the conflict in Ukraine's favor. Putin could no longer realistically play for a frozen conflict along existing lines.

Napoleon took Moscow and Russia still survived and ultimately won the war. In WW2 the Germans were close to capturing Moscow, but it's very likely that the USSR would have continued the fight anyway. And that's not exclusive to Russia. The Franco-Prussian war didn't end, when the Germans besieged and ultimately took Paris. But that isn't really my point. Why would Putin/Russia commit suicide by nuclear escalation, if they can just make a white peace with Ukraine instead? If Germany had that option in WW1, they would have gladly accepted. They literally begged for a peace that restored the pre war status throughout the last two years of the war. Russia is in a very comfortable position, that they can just end their war of conquest at any point, without unconditional surrender and their country getting crippled in retaliation.

At the peak [Russians were firing around 60,000 artillery rounds **a day**](https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-fires-7k-rounds-a-day-russia-fired-60k-early-in-2023-report-2023-9?amp). They are still estimated to be firing around [10,000 rounds](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/03/10/politics/russia-artillery-shell-production-us-europe-ukraine) per day, so definitely dropped off, but still a shitload. Obviously that’s across the whole frontline. So it would seem that 700 glide bombs are definitely “nothing”. However, the difference in explosive impact is massive. Artillery rounds usually pack no more than 10kg (22 pounds) of explosive. Glide bombs, on the other hand, can pack anywhere from 200kg (440 pounds) to 1.5 **tons** of ordinance (more than 3,300 pounds). So when they hit, they make a **massive** dent. So destroying 700 of them definitely makes a difference for the Ukrainians.

Most of Russias planes are also probably near, at or beyond their intended lifespan as well. Some of these airframes are models that haven’t been built since the Soviet Union was a thing. Russia actively doesn’t want to use the new planes with so much American AA and radars all over the place.

Im not sure if we have good numbers of these production rates, but i remember reading somewhere on reddit that these 700 would be about 1/3 monthly production.
