The leaker was setup and used by the intelligence agencies. Falseflag!!

The telltale giveaway is the kill ratio. The leaker claimed a kill ratio of 7:1 in favor of Russians. Bull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the WW2 Germany-Russia front, Germans outkilled Russians by 10:1. Turns out that Russia could afford to lose the troops and Germany couldn't.
In the Korean War, American fighter pilots outkilled Russian fighter pilots by a ratio of 7:1.
Today, Russia can't afford to lose troops. Russian parents of dead Russian soldiers carry weight.
WW2 cost Germany half its fighting-age men. If they had had more, they would have won.
You read too many Western sources.
Perhaps the whole incident was planned out as a psyop to push through this agenda.
