Those are US WW2 numbers, iirc.

Wait is that just a modified kv-1?

The article says that it's a stock photo, but I doubt it. Nobody's using WW2 tanks, and this is probably also Ukrainian, based on the caption.

EDIT: Doesn't look like the KV-1 has a side skirt, as the tank in the photo does.

Corigan ,

Why I was surprised, if they were the slapping skirts and some cage armor on the turret of some WW2 it would seem super desperate.

400k dead is probably stretching it, but considering that most estimates pointed to somewhere around 310k – 320k at the end of last year, the true numbers probably aren't far from 400k either.

Thorny_Insight ,

It's probably more like 400k casualties meaning dead + wounded

hydroptic ,

Ah yeah true, the ~300k figures from last year were total casualties

@LaFinlandia All of the original invading force died. There were no survivors.
