This statement from the the Chief of Britain’s version of the CIA–i.e., MI6–says much about the pathetic status of British intelligence than it does about Russia’s military prospects in Ukraine.
Consider this claim, for example:
Richard Moore, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) known as MI6, also estimated that about 15,000 Russian troops had been killed so far in its war in Ukraine, adding that was “probably a conservative estimate.”
Estimated? For God’s sake. Intelligence professionals do “estimates” when they do not have hard intelligence. You know, instead of relying on actual facts. For the intelligence novices taking time to read this let me try to give you some insight into the tools a professional intelligence agency should have at its disposal.
First, there is overhead imagery, i.e. pictures, taken by satellites and fixed wing aircraft (including drones) that can count ambulances hauling away the dead and wounded. There also should be pictures of new graves in military cemeteries. This can be labor intensive but that is why the Brits and the United States have hired thousands of analysts during the last decade. There also should be imagery of Russian field hospitals. It should be no hard task to count the number of stretchers going in and out of those facilities.
Second, there is intercepted signals–SIGINT. Surely Russian commanders are reporting killed and wounded back to headquarters. The UK and the US, courtesy of GCHQ and NSA, certainly have the technical means for intercepting, decrypting and translating those communications. This kind of information does not produce “estimates.” Nope. It produces real numbers.
Third, corroborating this high side collection is social media. Ukrainian social media is filled with pictures of rows of new graves for recently fallen soldiers.
So far I have not seen comparable material from the Russian side. Russia is not a totalitarian state. Russians have cell phones and the ability to take pictures and send text messages to friends and family. Where are the pictures of the 15,000 dead Russians? If you have photos of Russian cemeteries filling up let me know.
You know what is another word for “estimate?” Guess! Intelligence agencies guess when they do not have hard intelligence. Richard Moore’s groundless claim that Russia is running out of gas and incurring a fantastic level of casualties is irresponsible.
Moore gives up the real reason for this outlandish statement about Russian casualties later in the Reuters piece:

ASPEN, Colorado, July 21 (Reuters) – Russia’s military is likely to start an operational pause of some kind in Ukraine in the coming weeks, giving Kyiv a key opportunity to strike back, Britain’s spy chief said on Thursday.
Richard Moore, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) known as MI6, also estimated that about 15,000 Russian troops had been killed so far in its war in Ukraine, adding that was “probably a conservative estimate.”Advertisement · Scroll to continue
“I think they’re about to run out of steam,” Moore said, addressing the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado, adding that the Russian military would increasingly find it difficult to supply manpower and materiel over the next few weeks.
“They will have to pause in some way, and that will give the Ukrainians opportunities to strike back.”
Nearly five months since Russia invaded Ukraine, Kyiv hopes that Western weapons, especially longer-range missiles such as U.S. HIMARS which Kyiv has deployed in recent weeks, will allow it to launch a counterattack in coming weeks and recapture Russian-occupied territory.Advertisement · Scroll to continue
Moore underscored the need for Ukraine to show the war was winnable — both to preserve high Ukrainian morale but also to stiffen the resolve of the West as concerns mount about European energy shortages during the coming winter.
“It’s important, I think, to the Ukrainians themselves that they demonstrate their ability to strike back. And I think that will be very important for their continuing high morale,” Moore said.
Is Moore really this stupid? There are ample videos on Ukrainian social media of police chasing down civilians and forcing them to join up. There also are videos of units of Ukrainian soldiers in the Donbass laying down their weapons and refusing to accept orders which they believe are a guaranteed death sentence.
Here is a recent video of soldiers of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine complaining that the officers of the brigade beat their brother to death. Note, none are carrying weapons nor proudly wearing their uniform. You call this “high morale.”
Since Richard Moore made these remarks at the Aspen Institute in Colorado, I must ask–is he high? Did he make a trip to one of the local marijuana shops and buy some potent ganja before making his remarks?
At some point the taxpayers in the United Kingdom and the United States need to demand that their respective intelligence organizations stop running influence operations against their own people and start doing the job for which they are being overpaid to do.
Things are so f**ked up in the West where every Department is corrupt to the hilt, the running amuck with money printing and 100% propaganda with everything thanks to the totally useless MSM. They have destroyed everything that was good the West stood for, they are nearly at the point of no return where over a billion lives will be destroyed and all for what? More money power than they already had.
Just a tangent , since when kyivindependent is considered a trustworthy source of info ? but it seem the highly respected veteran in Sic Semper Tyranis think so. The analysis of future planned offensive in kherson is done by an excellent ex green beret lithuanian and this professional analys got the approval from col lang..
read the last words from this lithuanian ex green beret , you can see the objectivity and professionalism from his analysis :
“Read the room, Vladimir Vladimirovich. Read the room. You’re about to have a lot of thirsty people in Crimea… again. TTG”
https://turcopolier.com/what-would-a-ukrainian-counter-offensive-in-kherson-look-like-ttg/
ps : this is sarcasm post if anyone missed it , just to point out how sick and deranged the current SST today
TTG is the dumbest mthfkr on Planet Earth bar none.
i would argue that it is the col pat lang who the dumbest as he allow the dumb lithuanian clown to run SST using the col’s name and reputation.
it is dumb and dumber in real life as these duo kept banning people from comment section so they can run their neocon IO constantly..
the incredibly stupid colonel and his minder (TTG) is an example of how life long experience didnt do squat when it come to honor and reason.
im sorry larry for the harsh words to the col
it is insane the massive amount of western propaganda was directed toward its own citizens to control their perception..
isnt this how evil empires work ?
😅 Indeed and thanks for the link friend.
Great that as a British taxpayer I am funding this alleged professional to travel to Colorado and communicate pure fiction to the world. These clowns have reduced us to a laughing stock but they have nice overpaid jobs, likely future advisory roles in the MIC and index linked pensions when the hyper inflation hits. How can war mongers like these live with themselves though. I could not.
As a Hungarian, I am greatly saddened by the behaivour of the West. It feels like there are a bunch of drunken baboons that “lead” the free world. I love freedom, liberty, and individualism that used to characterise the West for so long, but unfortunately, that time is behind us. Right now, with all the woke ideoligy, the war-piggery, and economic ineptitude of the West, we are forced to make new, friends with the historically unwelcome Russians.
In an interview with the Dutch daily Algemeen Dagblad (pay wall) Thurs July 21, the Dutch deputy minister of Defense Christophe van der Maat admitted they are scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of supplying Ukraine with materiel. He is being roundly criticized by domestic and foreign spokesmen for the impolitic admission.
“Our military stockpiles are running out: ‘If the Russians were to invade, we could only fight for a couple of days.’
Finally there is more money for the military. Deputy minister of Defense Christophe van der Maat must nonetheless admit that actual ammunition and equipment will demand years of patience. ‘The impact on us will only increase.”

The British have literally zero people telling the truth about this war.
At least in the US Ex military and intelligence are speaking out.
These people are just self interested liars and when the public finally get it, if ever, no one will trust msm and politician do now military and intelligence again. But then I said that after Iraq and most people still believe them.
The British are probably overjoyed after witnessing the self-destruction of Germany. Probably they have some infantile dreams of becoming the dominant European power after Germany turns itself into Somalia.
and these bozos in UK whose thinking only few years ahead forget that there will be a blowback in longer time frame when :
– German lose competitiveness due to increased energy prices now sources outside russia.
– German experienced massive lay off and economic downturn , which in turn will feed into the people’s discontent toward their leaders and to america who they will perceiver as the cause of the whole mess
– German economic decline will affect other EU nations which even now suffer economic problems themselves. This in turn will cause resentment by european ppl toward their own leaders who do the bidding of USA. This will cause a shift toward neutrality as they ditch the pro US stance , and europeans will look toward china and russia as saviour.
basically the weaker europe get , the bigger the chance US will lose their (already dwindling) ally in old world.
blowback
An interesting post. If so, why should the intelligence services act this way? Possible answer: the Anglo-American bloc with its influential financial elite has decided on a hot currency reform, which is to take place mainly in Europe.
Strange, haven’t we already had this twice?
The world wars had their focal points very strongly in continental Europe. England and especially the USA experienced significantly less or no destruction of their cities and infrastructure compared to Europe (in the 2nd WW especially Eastern and Central Europe). bombing of
Dresden 1945 is rightly considered a symbol of a rather bomb-loving Harris. It is interesting that the Anglo-American military strategy has remained largely unchanged to this day. OK, a little more precise. But first destroy everything that brings electricity and water from the air. How many power plants, gas lines and waterworks were destroyed by the Russians?
I don’t think the Anglo-American groups care about the lives and sufferings of Europeans.
about the video(Brigade): how authentic is that. It can also be a propaganda video by the Russians.
The BBC
“Dozens of artillery guns, hundreds of drones and tens of thousands of ammunition rounds are to be sent by the UK to Ukraine over the coming weeks.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said the package would ensure that Ukrainians had the “tools to defend their country from Putin’s illegal invasion”.
The announcement follows last month’s government pledge of another £1bn in military support to Kyiv.
These weapons will “ensure” Ukraine defense will they.
Boris is holding reins until new PM and yet despite effectively being fired he is still lying, still throwing money and weapons at Ukraine in the hope they will think he’s Churchill and build a statue of his fat ass somewhere in what’s left of Ukraine. Plus lots of money to speak to Biden’s people in America to come.

Sadly, I think you are right. I saw Ian Kummer’s blog last night quoting that circa 50k members of the Afghan National Army died in the fight against the Taliban, mainly in the later years. That is a horrific statistic that very few people are aware of and which legacy corrupt corporate media never chooses to highlight.
Clear that these “leaders” care not a jot for the lives of other people. They fight proxy wars and pay the “leaders” of other nations get their citizens to do the dying for them because they know that the one thing that would create home resistance to their evil misadventures is if their own citizens get conscripted to fight.
It also shows that an organised army will often fight a war if it has been organised and disciplined to do that even though the actual soldiers in reality have very little heart for the fight. The fact that Ukrainian soldiers continue to fight should by the same token not lead us to think that are united behind the “cause”. The Afghan Army collapsed as soon as the US cattle prod was removed. In history we have seen the same. The Austro Hungarian army continued to fight right up to 1918 even though it is hard to believe that many men still believed in defending the empire. The Ukrainian Army will look 100% committed too, until the moment it is not.
i wonder how many of those afgani KIA really exists in person or just a number on paper , not the first time the afghani corrupt leaders inflate their own numbers of standing army/soldiers.
history told the world the fate of US proxy govt , the puppet south vietnam govt whose corruption legendary , claimed by US as the 4th strongest army in the world , got steamrolled by North Vietnamese heroic soidlers in just few weeks and the cowardly south vietnamese leader fled abroad…
From Martyanov’s Blog
Translation: The Russian army regularly strikes targets in Ukraine with quasi-ballistic, aeroballistic or cruise missiles of operational-tactical, medium and long range, sea, land and air based. The enemy is still waiting for them to run out, but this will never happen – the industry has already reached such a rate of production that it covered the mass consumption of missiles and various guided munitions since the first days of the SMO. Now their production exceeds the daily consumption. That is, the stocks of these weapons, on the contrary, are growing.
Of course, that could be propaganda, but I think the evidence of the actions seem to confirm this.
Not a propaganda , it is far easier for russia MIC to scale up production of guided missiles and other munitions compared to western MIC with distributed supply lines and raw material shortage.
the whole western propaganda of russia running out of ammo , running out of PGM , running out of soldiers is assumption based on projection how western military will fare in a conflict with high amount of ammo expenditure
Hello Larry,
Thank you for the nice and decent work of the last months regarding Ukraine and Biden’s policies (a lot of thanks also to Gonzalo, Andrei M., the duran team and many more…).
My question is that all the analysis from the people who haven’t been bought by corp media have always the same conclusion : those guys (Biden, Davos, Nato…) are crazies, they don’t know what they’re doing and they believe their own bs.
What if, it’s not the case ?
It seems to me that, apart from nuclear holocaust scenario, the USA have the upper hand meaning they have as many kamikaze slaves as they want, who are willing to go to the slaughter (Ukraine, Poland, Baltic States, Moldavia, Romania…). The more the Russians grind and chew, the less it is easy for them to be the economic center stage between China and Europe. Of course in the end, they will be no Europe left economically, but is it really a problem for the USA ? They will still have vassal states (AUK(US), Japan, Israel, Gulf states…) and they will still have proven their point : Abide by our rules, if not we will destroy you (Iraq, Lybia), or make the life incredibly suffering for you (Syria, Iran, Russia to a lesser extent).
To conclude, being the destabilizer element (US, Taiwan, Israel…) is always easier than being the stabilizing one (Russia, China, Iran…), even more when you don’t give a damn about the well-being of your own people (like in Ukraine and in the kind of Davos-style governments that are colonizing the West, which work as a prototype and advertisement : look at what we will do to all the poors of the world if we help us win Russia and China…).
this is what most ppl in US leadership missed , the long term strategic impact. If EU weakened economically and their industry reduced with with layoff and employment , in short term Uzs might get few benefit from it , but in long term their loyal EU slaves will be weaker and this will lead to unstalble europe, In the end US lost their most loyal vassals in europe..
the new awakend europe will ditch their pro US leaders and move to sino-russo economic bloc.
Like Stephen, I am British and a taxpayer, and horrified that, given the UK’s huge problems, we are wasting our money on murdering people in a foreign land for no purpose. While I have no sympathy for the Nazis and idiot psycho mercenaries, who deserve severe punishment, the ordinary Ukrainian soldiers do not deserve to die. I resent my countries money and resources being used to murder people.
@Stephen, I also found the above comment about armies fighting on even when they’d lost apposite: you could add the Germans in 1945 and the Confederates in the US Civil War. It’s such a waste.
Exactly. This whole situation is evil. Zero virtue. Have never been so ashamed of my country. And I am not a bleeding heart type person who wants to apologise for the empire, although wrongs were committed. But those are in the past, and all countries have committed misdeeds (as well as noble deeds) in history. But we should not repeat those errors in the present.
This makes my concern grow.
Observers here and elsewhere can see that the Ukrainian forces in the east are on theverge of collapse.
You would think the swamp would be backing off.
Makes you wonder if they’re planning something stooopid.
The CTH did post an article today about an AP article backing off the narrative.
moore’s remarks are trying to put on a brave face the west has lost the war against russia and no amount of spin can change it.
all that remains is bullshit and obfuscation hoping the western public stays ignorant as long as possible.
good luck with that!
You don’t tell 200,000 Nazis they can win and you got their back and then tell them they can’t win and never could bit thanks for helping us separate Europe from Russia and try to weaken Russia. We gave it our best shot eh? Friends?
The ones that live will come for the Brits that lied to them. The US is a bit far. 50,000 angry battle hardened Nazis in western Europe can do some damage.
Just one of the crazy features of this phenomenon is that these experts keep making bold – and provably, in time, very incorrect – statements about Russia’s impending demise and yet people keep putting faith in their estimates and predictions. For example, Pat lang, parroting one of these sources, stated that Russia only had 14 days left to continue the war. That was months ago. That is merely one of myriad instances wherein the organ grinder and his Lithuanian monkey (and their beloved ISW) have discredited themselves by being wildly off the mark. How often can an expert be dramatically wrong and yet still be considered an expert and have people pay attention to their utterances? More of that cognitive dissonance at play, perhaps. Some of these people are the exact same ones that got Iraq totally wrong. Yet here they are, still bloviating after all these years; and being taking seriously.
Good catch, Larry, with, “Moore underscored the need for Ukraine to show the war was winnable — both to preserve high Ukrainian morale but also to stiffen the resolve of the West as concerns mount about European energy shortages during the coming winter.
“It’s important, I think, to the Ukrainians themselves that they demonstrate their ability to strike back. And I think that will be very important for their continuing high morale,”
But what is the end game? What is the strategy behind this smoke and mirrors within a shell game? Some forlorn hope that if the war keeps going long enough, a miracle happens at the 11th hour and the Russians blunder and there’s enough left of the UKR military to capitalize on it? That Russia will be bled dry before the UKR is reduced to nothing militarily and the US/EU destroyed economically? To keep the money flowing to the insiders long enough that they become fantastically wealthy? Simple psychological inability to face and accept reality? All of the above?
See here , about SST , i dont mind the col have his own opinion even if he do 180 and turn into neocon warmonger chickenhawk. But what i loath about him is his use of unreliable sources and the have the gall to defend these sources as reliable info sources.
as for TTG it is rather obvious even in the past he been doing low key feeding disinfo on SST. I still remember him pushing the laughable fancy bear russian hacker propaganda nonsense. but this time he really drop all pretense of objecfivity and fully run an IO propaganda campaign using the colonel’s name and site.
and you know what is funny ? when the colonel was offline due to hip surgery, TTG posted stuff he never touch before , like religion , spacex and many more as if the posts are made by someone else and TTG just published them because the colonel in hospital.
SST is run by TTG the dumb lithuanian (i doubt he is real green beret) , and the colonel whose name on the site is even dumber to let a dumb lithuanian use his name..
A real life Dumb and Dumber
Lang is an unreliable source unto himself. Do you recall a couple of months ago when he was writing that Russian morale was collapsing b/c officers were randomly shooting enlisted troops for, presumably, as he tells it, fun (or perhaps out of frustration) and then, when questioned about that assertion by the one or two of his remaining readers with an iota of common sense, he went on to dictate long history “lessons” about officers summarily shooting enlisted without cause or trial is a long standing tradition in the Russian military going back hundreds of years. He really has no respect for his readers. Inflicting TTG on them is further evidence of the lack of respect.
“estimated that about 15,000 Russian troops had been killed so far in its war in Ukraine”
So they’ve cut the estimate in half from a couple months ago? That was when the ‘culminating point’ had been reached, too. Any day now the 400,000 troops of the Ukrainian reserves will be trained and ready to deploy in an offensive. Any day now.
“The prospect of a Russian disruption of European energy supplies is one of the biggest global economic and political risks arising from the war. European countries fear they could face shortages next winter, if Russia cuts back deliveries during warm months when they typically replenish storage tanks”
You mean this expert and all the rest forgot to tell the “big guy”, the victor of Afghanistan and evacuator of Kabul, that the other side can play economic warfare too? Nice to see MI6 at least got their vacation in Colorado at taxpayer expense approved before ‘climate change is real’ cut backs forced them to curtail their travel. Did they enjoy a good American steak dinner too, or eat bugs and impossible burgers as an example to the colonials?
I might be mistaken, but isn’t an intelligence agency’s other major task outside of collecting intelligence – propaganda? Maybe they know but are intentionally aiming this propaganda at the population at large. Is that a possibility?
Look on the bright side: A bunch of oligarchs paid big bucks to fly to Aspen and get told bald-faced lies about Ukraine.
We who read this blog, on the other hand, now have a vastly more accurate (not to mention less costly) picture of what’s up in Ukraine (and America, and perhaps Britain) than our would-be Rulers do.
It would be even better if Richard Moore actually believed his own BS, though I doubt that very much.
In any case, psy-ops only get you so far. At some point reality intrudes. The bigger the gap between reality and elite delusions, and the further the elite wander into ‘let them eat cake’ and ’emperor’s new clothes’ territory … the easier it gets to overthrow ’em and march ’em off to the guillotine.
“Military Intelligence is an expression which contains an interior fallacy. ”
Raymond Chandler, Playback
Did you say in a previous post that you were keeping a spreadsheet of the Russian MoD’s claims of Ukrainian targets hit and casualties caused. I’d be interested to see it, or at least a summary.
I’m just blown away by my army buddies who could see through the massive PSYOP scamdemic and the false narrative over the last two years and yet are lining up for the Kool aid over the narrative of this conflict…..the precedent of State lies should be enough to question things…and if not….1.2 million trained and integrated in NATO Ukrainian regular and reserve forces sitting in built up areas getting pounded is somehow winning? Anyways I enjoy the realistic perspective and as a side note . ….looking at the 36 th independent Marine brigade video….I would guess from the concertina wire and high walls in background….these men are disarmed and incarcerated… peace
Maybe your army buddies under orders to support the narrative ? or maybe they have russophobia and easily lapped everything that smear russian military ?
i mean theres so many disinfo and propaganda in this conflict , i would say this is the worst propaganda campaign up to today. as if this is world war 3 already,.
wait we are in WW3 already ..
Listening to these generals etc I wonder if they gave politicians an inaccurate picture of Ukrainie risk. And are covering ass. Or if they gave the reality and are keeping on political line. Which is tail which is dog.

To further illustrate how pathetic uk situation is, if one is to believe the polls, liz truffle has now gone from number three to leading the tory prospects for prime minister to replace the clown.

I do not wish to appear dismissive of Larry’s opinions here, but I wonder why M16 would even bother to tell the truth if lying about the realities of loss serves the Western war effort better? Is this any better than a president saying that Putin is a murderer?
Good piece for the information presented here. Thanks, Larry.
L.
Because the public will lose faith in the military as well as the government and media and intelligence service. They don’t want to be lied to and something must be learnt from Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan.
I agree with your point though. They think these lies are the smart way to go.
However the problem with these lies is that the consequences are so serious that keeping the public in the dark is tantamount to treason. At some point these guys need to be put back in their box.
Lizz Truss is the candidate MI6 want because they own her. If she gets in there could be a very very serious escalation.
“Influence operation.” Well put Larry, standard fare in the “land of the free.”
From the economy, our so-called greatness, to matters of war as we see here. It is a continuous shit-show that since the Bush I war on Iraq where neary a dissenting word could be found in the U.S. media, I turned my back on it all. The truth is out there, one just needs to search. It won’t be found on “exceptionalist” U.S. flatforms.
Thank you for what you do.
