col. warren: on how exaggerated are the russian claims regarding the trucks, we did not go to the effort to count, a detailed battle damage assessment. what we saw was the media that the russians put out. by looking at that video, unless the russians are counting flattened tires and chip ain't, it is simply impossible that they were able to destroy 500 trucks. particularly using the imprecise and dumb bombs they use. you saw that light that was coming down, the ir target designator, which helps. russians are not using any of that. they are using old-fashioned mid-20th century technology and accuracy to sling led around the battlefield. there is no way that you are able to destroy 500 trucks. my guess is that it is an exaggeration, under 100. what we have seen is possibly upwards of 1000 civilian casually's caused by the russians. this is not our account. these are counts we have observed from her to parties, nongovernmental organizations. we think those counts are probably fairly accurate, includ
