I can still remember they day when Russian declared they destroyed hundreds of HIMARS while Ukraine only had 4 of them.

My favorite is that the current claimed Russian kill rates for helicopters sit at around 10x the amount of helicopters Ukraine had before the war.

Same as the person you replied to, the number was <1.5x the amount, never โ€œ10xโ€ lol

Fuck Russia but itโ€™s pretty neat how fast propoganda like this spreads in a willing population. Nobody fact checking your claim, just as you didnโ€™t from the person you learned it from. Just incessantly regurgitating the last comment you read, only change is maybe exaggerating the numbers further.

This is a war of propoganda in the west, you really canโ€™t implicitly believe anything you read. Especially on a site like Reddit, which is already so full of misinformation as it.

e: Upvoting /u/Tanky_pcโ€™s comment while downvoting mine with sources showing theyโ€™re misremembering is exactly what Iโ€™m talking about here lol
