You're counting reserve forces (note my use of "standing"). Which, due to attrition it seems are being called up to replace Russian losses in Ukraine. There's a clue.
Also, I've noticed, following this thread, that a lot of other people's contributions which disagree with yours are "trash" or "junk". None of your dozens of links are though of course.

100% TRASH! Sorry...
Well, actually I do. Quite a lot really. Although, I don't pretend to be as knowledgeable as it seems some in here are. Including yourself. How though does military experience at any of our levels qualify us to be armchair generals? Certain facts are inescapable it seems to me though. It's been 8 weeks. All ain't going well for Mr Putin. Who it seems is following Stalin's example by "purging" those around his cricket pitch table. Every day this debacle goes on the weaker he becomes and the more things will escalate accordingly. It could even get to your Valhalla - if you're lucky.
I also note you are quite fond of linking to "Western propaganda", when it suits your agenda. Russian state controlled media isn't at all propaganda, is it?. Well, in your topsy-turvy world that is.
