A general point about this war is that there is a lot that we don't know, and we are getting low confidence estimates. Combining multiple low confidence estimates will give you an even less certain figure. What size are the BTGs being counted? Are they basically company (+)?

RT @ChristopherJM: 2 employees of a Kharkiv zoo called Feldman Ecopark who stayed on site to feed the animals and went missing in early March were found shot to death, their bodies discarded in a room of a building on the grounds. Workers say Russian troops killed the pair. https://www.facebook.com/FeldmanEcopark/videos/5004989366259693/

Many of these BTGs arrived in Ukraine well below their T/O manning levels. Two attrited BTGs might basically be the strength of one BTG. How are they being counted? I don't know and if I can't see someone else's math, I'm not exactly sure what the BTG figure means. 3/

@HN_Schlottman I think that is a sensible assumption, though I think the 40th, 61st, and 336th Naval Infantry Brigades probably only deployed one. I also wonder whether the BTG count is including all of the attachments. I think some regiments/brigades may have kept those assets at their level.

@APHClarkson The BTG count was a useful proxy for the % of the Russian ground force deployed, but not that useful for other functions.

There is also some question as to whether battalions are receiving all of the regimental/brigade-level attachments, like artillery, air defense, EW, etc. or if they're keeping that at the regimental/brigade level, which means the size of BTGs would be smaller. 4/

BTGs were a useful figure during the buildup to show the percentage of the total Russian Ground Forces/VDV/Naval Infantry that were deployed near Ukraine, but the figure is less useful for other purposes, especially when the personnel count could vary significantly. 5/
