< p _ngcontent-sc138="" class="news-annotation">I saw a wonderful note that in almost six months of the war in Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the Russian occupiers (45,400) more than the entire army of Belarus (45 thousand).
“Fried” numbers
Yes, this is true, although not entirely true. The fact is that 45 thousand people are taking into account non-combat arms and personnel.
If we talk specifically about combat units, then this is about 17 thousand people, ground forces and special operations forces. But in fact, more or less, and this should be emphasized, combat-ready – no more than 20 battalion tactical groups and tactical groups. That is, about 10 thousand people.
An iron argument for Lukashenka
That is, in six months, the Armed Forces of Ukraine ground four combat-ready personnel of the Belarusian army, and this is even without taking into account the fact that the equipment and training of the Russian armed forces, especially the units that took part in the invasion in the first weeks, is an order of magnitude higher than that of the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus.
This, by the way, is also on the question of whether Lukashenko his army against Ukraine. Doesn't work. Because he understands perfectly well that in a month he will be left without an army at all.
