But it is EXCEPTIONALLY low - even more so than I remember. > Starting in the 1980s, it was often claimed that 90 percent of the victims of modern wars were civilians. > The Vietnamese government has estimated the number of Vietnamese civilians killed in the Vietnam War at two million, and the number of NVA and Viet Cong killed at 1.1 million—estimates which approximate those of a number of other sources.[19] This would give a civilian-combatant fatality ratio of approximately 2:1, or 67%. > During the First Chechen War, 4,000 separatist fighters and 40,000 civilians are estimated to have died, giving a civilian-combatant ratio of 10:1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualty_ratio#Chechen_wars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualty_ratio#Cheche...
