Russians have entered an era of "endless" crowds of manpower and "bukhanks," says Alexander Kovalenko.

The first half of January has passed, and as always, we can draw some conclusions regarding the anticipated losses of the ROV (Russian occupation forces) for the month.

The losses of personnel will remain consistently high; could we see a record in human resource losses? I wouldn't rule it out.

The category of vehicles is also telling, as January may set an absolute record for losses.

Essentially, it's about people and their vehicles. The era of endless mechanized columns and assaults has ended; we have entered the age of "endless" crowds of personnel and "bukhanka" vans. But nothing is truly endless.
