We all know that over 200 Utrek warships have been destroyed in the war so far but what exactly have the Utrek lost. Here at DDS Latest Victory News we have analysed released DDS and Dino combat reports to try and get the true picture of the Utrek losses, and it makes bad reading for the Utrek.
The Utrekians have lost 70% of their first-line combat units, nearly all of the units committed to the war have been lost. These ships are late Molentic Tuuls and Reptoli Tuuls with the best crews and they have been mauled, even some of the latest RTs have now been lost. The 30% that remain are protecting the core of the Utrek Federation and cannot really be spared for the war. Much of what remains of the invasion fleet is second-line and third-line units. Second-line arn't bad. Their equipment is early-to-mid Molentic Tuuls and late Kalahati Tuuls but they lack the experience and expertise of the first-line units, that experience has now been largely splattered across Remedian space. Equipment can be replaced, fairly quickly too with the impressive Utrek industrial machine, but experience cannot.
Third-line units, old Kalahati Tuuls with reservists and rookie crews, are of dubious combat use. They have been used on internal policing up until now, ok for scaring smugglers perhaps but against top class DDS warships? Dogmeat.
Another problem for the Utrekians is many of the surviving ships are damaged, desperately needing maintenance and repair (though the DDS also have this problem) and their crews are exhausted and shell-shocked.
With some recent reinforcements called up it is estimated the Utrek currently have around 130 warships in Remedian space, however only 15 are thought to be first-line (3 of the Reptoli Tuuls) with around 65% of the rest third-line. The Utrek don't have a great deal of quality left.
