Putin is getting more and more desperate. As he is running out of options, he is just increasing the meat waves!

Ukraine keeps hitting munition stockpiles and have noticed substantial drops in shellings. They've also been taking out jets and drone factories, so it's all less overall.

But while those things can still inflict a lot of damage and do, you still need that armor to move the front lines up.

Nearly all the damage ukraine does is with drones, but those drones still need people to support and hold positions and a critical part of doing that is armor.

No armor means harder to do assaults and harder to defend positions.
