The losses from this event are staggering. Technology puts it into perspective.

Mathieu Bourdin @Arka_Voltchek

Une fois les photos assemblées, ça rend le massacre plus visible, et impressionnant. La violence des combats lors de ce franchissement raté par les russes a été décrite comme "inouïe"... Je veux bien le croire...
