I dont understand this. what do you mean by 100K and 180K? who is using those numbers ? those numbers on either side sound wrong. Do you have any plausibly numbers?
finally, from an indian broadcaster last week ( i understand anything not from western media will be censored so i wont post ): "its day 448 of the Russian invasion, by now alot of things are quite clear: Russia will not back down, Ukraine will not surrender, the West will not seek peace".
According to the video interview between talking head Andrew Napolitano (a judge by training) and Larry C Johnson (a blogger), Wagner used 30K troops to overwhelm 100K Ukrainian defenders in Bakhmut. This is preposterous. Western estimates of orc casualties (they don't draw distinctions between Wagnerites, DPR/LPR, or Russian regular) were 80K from the beginning of the battle through Dec 01, and another 100K through today. That's just the casualties, not the troops who've been relatively uninjured.

Nice cherry picked snipped
It was immediately mentioned that the regular Russian army provided support with missiles / artillery / aircraft and so on, the Wagners did the storming.
Look at the frikking ruins of Bakhmut, what do you not understand, lol
It was YOUR source. You can hardly call my having addressed your source as cherry picked.
