And last I checked, if I recall correctly, they've identified at least 90,000 plus confirmed obituaries. And of course, this is a sliver of the number of full casualties because not everyone gets a written obituary. But it's another data point that you can use to confirm to build towards the whole picture.
Yeah, thank you. So, it was a very quick trip. Just spent a couple days in Kyiv with some meetings, some officials, some military officials, some warfighters, and it was great. My first trip in Ukraine this year and got to go meet with some very interesting warfighters that are innovating, changing the nature of contemporary land warfare.

And I was also able to pick up a couple of data points for the current, the challenges that both sides are facing and get a sort of a bit of a tactical picture for what the fight is like. What was your key takeaway from this trip that you took? Sure. Neither side can conduct operational maneuver. Both sides are completely preoccupied with tactical and sub-tactical problems at the front.

It is pretty much how do you manage to move a squad, 10 guys? How do you move a platoon, 20 to 50 guys and get them from point A on a battlefield, 800 meters or 1200 meters to point B?

That has become incredibly difficult because the Russians and the Ukrainians within about a maybe 15 to 20 kilometer distance from the zero line, it is incredibly difficult to maneuver because the drone game that both sides are bringing out there is so aggressive.

Basically, anything that has a signature larger than a vehicle gets schwacked immediately and is resulting with some very interesting technological and tactical adaptations to try to overcome it.

Sure. So, both sides are trying to figure out how to be able to restore tactical maneuver, restore operational maneuver. So, on the Russian side, for example, they're experimenting now with new types of specialized units. So, these drones can fly very fast and they hit stuff. So, the Russians for the most part have greatly reduced

their use of armored personnel carriers and even providing vehicles for basic infantry maneuver as one would expect them to do by the Russian and Soviet textbook. They're now using motorcycles and they're actually building out a tactical doctrine for motorcycle platoons, motorcycle battalions, or how many motorcycles should be in an infantry battalion, for example.
