Sir you have no proof,you're just repeating mainstream media propaganda,the west equipped Ukraine and effectively built 3 armies that have been destroyed,their planning and tactics are so great yet the counteroffensive was defeated without achieving anything other than the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops,since then Russia has taken marinka,many villages around bakhmut,avdivka has almost fallen,same goes for all the villages bordering kupiansk and liman,or talk about the rabotino axis which was where Ukraine sacrificed most of their troops,go check out what's happening there
And I'm not being pro anything just do your research instead of repeating propaganda talking points, check maps of the battlefield pro-ukrainian maps and see for urself eg u can checkout deepsate map or any other of ur liking
PS Russia never at any point used t55,the fact that a t90 was destroyed is testament to how modern their equipments are,the Bradleys and tanks supplied to Ukraine are all a couple decades old,the f-16s especially from Netherland are over 50years old a complete clown show

Furthermore,you're pointing to Russian losses as if they're fighting themselves,just in this suicidal counteroffensive, Ukraine lost thousands of tanks and military equipments,Russia has effectively destroyed their air defences and are practically hitting everything in all parts of Ukraine,the uaf are effectively out of artillery shells and guns(heck the whole world is out of 155mm artillery shells) and yet somehow you still pushing the narrative that Ukraine and the west are somehow winning
Russia has occupied and annexed 90% of the territories they wanted and in the process have demilitarised NATO as a whole and yet somehow you want to claim Russia is weak and obsolete

LOL, you're blaming me for repeating mainstream media propaganda, but whole your post is just cliches from Russian propaganda. Counteroffensive wasn't succesfful, there is several reasons behind this. First is time. Ukraine had wait for weapons from West for so long that it was enough time for Russia to built several defense lines in Tokmak direction. And still, they started counteroffensive without much support from air as they still yet to recive F-16. I know maps perfectly, maybe better than you, there is no need to teach what I should look.
I'm wondering from where you took these numbers of hundreds of thousands troops killed in counteroffensive? Only Russian officials are constantly repeating it. But yeah, it's not Western propaganda, they never lied, how you can't believe them (sarcasm).
Russia never used T-55, really? It took me few seconds to deny your statement. They didn't just used it, they got some tanks damaged or destroyed:

Bradleys or F-16 is old, so what? If it serves it's purpose, I don't see any issue about it. And after all, it's not so old as post-WWII tank

.
Russia destroyed Ukrainian air defense, in what alternative rality you live? If it was destroyed, I'm wondering why so little % of missiles and drones reaches it targets. And meanwhile Ukraine effectively hitting targets in Russian territory and occupied regions with Patriot system, which is already destroyed long time ago according to Russia.
And against, that stupid cliche about pushing narrative that Ukraine is winning, I'm wondering from where you Russians took it? And how you managed to see in my post that I'm pushing this narrative. Probably you just see what you want to see.
And again ''Russia has occupied and annexed 90% of the territories they wanted'', putting some random numbers will make it look that you're telling facts. But I can ask you again, from what ass you're taking these numbers?
