The troop losses are actually replaceable (as tragic as that may be), but the planes, tanks, artillery, armored vehicles, and anti-air missiles are not. They have lost thousands of these and literally do not have enough parts to build more.
They’re not even really replaceable from a military perspective if you’re losing experienced, trained soldiers. Replacing them requires an investment in time, effort, and money.
Of course, as I understand it, Russia just replaces the bodies and doesn’t bother with the training or experience.

The troops are replaceable from a military perspective, but I don’t think their mothers hold the same opinion.
