The Ukronazis Bakhmut Military Obituary They paid a heavy price in blood in trying to hold onto that supposedly “worthless” city.
Why is Bakhmut called a Meat Grinder? Who was decimated in Bakhmut: Brigades: 45th Brigade 43rd Brigade 26th Brigade 28th Brigade 62nd Brigade 63rd Brigade 53rd Brigade 60th Brigade 24th Brigade 57th Brigade 30th Brigade Advance Rubizh Brigade Advance Azov Brigade Advance Uragan Brigade Advance Spartan Brigade 109th Brigade 116th Brigade 119th Brigade 241st Brigade 93rd Brigade 77th Brigade 46th Brigade 4th Brigade 17th Brigade 61st Brigade of Jaegers Special Forces and Spetsnaz Regiments: 5th Assault Regiment 8th Regiment of Special Forces Kraken Battalions: 122nd Battalion 68th Battalion 214th OPFOR Battalion 49th Rifle Battalion 15th Mountain Assault Battalion Omega Border Guard Donetsk 8th Regiment of the UDAR UAVs: Shershen Adam Karlsen Terra Skala Madyar Khartia Kep Seneka WASP Legions: Dudaev Battalion Georgian Legion Mansur Battalion Shamil Battalion Gonor Normandy Legion Most of these battalions have suffered more than 70% casualties just against PMC Wagner.
The twenty-five brigades listed above represent a force of at least 50,000 men (assuming only 2000 men in a reduced brigade) and as many as 125,000. Simplicius also lists at least 9 battalions and 5 regiments — that is 4500 and 5000 additional troops respectively. Do the math. If Ukraine deployed 134,500 troops to the battle for Bakhmut, 70% of casualties mean that Ukraine suffered as many as 94,150 killed and wounded.
