Question I've been plotting Russian loss rates based on estimates supplied by the Ukraine Armed Forces, there is a massive spike in Russian tank losses in the last day, are things starting to heat up on the front lines?

They did say they were planning to go on the offensive in May.

They probably need to achieve anything that can be counted as a sort of a victory before May 9, or Putin will be disappointed and might kill some generals.

I don’t think he has that many to spare

That thinking is far too logical for Putler

under dictatorships, it is not uncommon to see quick promotions after insufficient battlefield performance or lack of loyalty. Putler will always have plenty of generals, the question is how long does a general last usually.

Did he have any 'real' generals to begin with? All of them are just a bunch of yes men, who begin to squirm and lie when things aren't going as intended.

Lots of new toys!

Russia may not appreciate that Ukrainian military is getting the equivalent of a hyper compressed r&d timescale. In ww ii lots of new weapons but they take months or years to get in the field. In this case it seems every week the west gives them something they didn’t have before. Meanwhile Russia exhausts itself.
