this obsession with stats is more of a consolation prize for the losers. It has now become a war of attrition the one with bigger population and more depth in land area will eventually prevail.Since July:
The authors double-checked this figure against data broken down by sex and age on the total number of Russians who die each year. Figures for 2023 were not available, but Dmitry Kobak, a researcher, found that 24,000 more men aged 15-49 died in 2022 than female death rates that year would suggest—a close match for the inheritance-based estimate of 25,000 deaths.![]()
A new study finds that 47,000 Russian combatants have died in Ukraine
The invasion has at least doubled Russia’s total combat losses since 1945www.economist.com
Using records of compensation payments to military families, the study suggested that a further 78,000 fighters have been wounded so gravely that they have left military service. This would bring Russia’s irrecoverable losses to 125,000—nearly the size of its original invading force.
So total deaths and maimed are at 125k, so about 150k in total by now.

They're the ones failing to achieve victory against a country that's even poorer on paper. Got to ask yourself how you can have 22% of the planet's natural resources and not be able to afford toilets.looks like sh*** is hitting the roof , must be really feeling miserable losing to a cntry not having toilets![]()

Like I said, those are only the recorded deaths. Google vanished/missing Russian combatants. At least 30,000 were missing even back at the start of this year based on relative's concerns from social media sources. Now consider that more than half of Russia doesn't even have toilets, never mind the internet and some have no relatives.Inheritance laws deal with all that. Missing in action is part of it.
And it's not Russian state figures, it's BBC's figures via social media interactions and inheritance claims.
And your argument makes it way worse for the Ukrainians.
They're attriting themselves and there's not going to be any Western support or Normandy landing to bail them out this time.Russian style of war is attrition. Russia has had far more embarrassing performances in Finland and even in Stalingrad. Their performance in Afghanistan is still among their best operations actually.
Afghanistan was successfully invaded in 2 weeks and Bin Laden was found and killed, job complete. Turning Afghanistan into a functional country is not our responsbility, assuming it's even possible. The various factions happily kill each other so well without any middle man.does that apply only russia or even western powers that went into afghanistan or vietnam.

Russia’s vanished combatants Thousands of Russian servicemen are MIA in Ukraine. Most of them are likely dead, but their families can neither bury them nor file for state compensation. — Meduza
Russia’s wartime casualties in Ukraine include a large class of personnel who are missing. Most of these troops have likely been killed, but their families can neither get ahold of their bodies nor file for the compensation promised by the state. Often, they try to find their loved ones through...meduza.io
In Russia, no figures are honest. The excess deaths disagree with their official figures massively, so there's no telling if any of the figures are honest.
PS: Please stop using shitty, subscriber only links.
The numbers are tens of thousands, then you have the unmentioned missing. Think about it, why does Russia need to keep recruiting hundreds of thousands if only a few dozen thousand have died? You only need to re-recruit because around half are dead.The numbers are too small in comparison. And no, Russia is quite well connected.

"Take it slowly, remove resistance..." There is resistance even in Russia, never mind Ukraine.
In a tunnel too.
