@augustus @caekislove @apropos Yeah, Russia's been extremely conservative with manpower, and it's what cost them their big withdrawals last fall, being outnumbered at least 6:1 across the entire front. They only had about 1/10 of their active duty military in Ukraine for the first 10 months of the conflict.

They activated 1/7 of their reserve last October, which eventually brought their manpower up to parity in most places, but if they had activated even 2/7 of their reserves, Russia would have an overwhelming manpower advantage along the front right now.
