This is dubiously sourced and defies comparisons with other conflicts. These casualty figures are at the same level as total US casualties in World War 2. It beggars belief that a regional war can produce such casualties. By contrast total US casualties in Vietnam were about 211,000, and Korea, about 140,000. Given the sources for these Russian casualty figures there is a very high likelihood that these numbers are grossly misstated.
- TiredOfLife 1y agohttps://200.zona.media/ https://200.zona.media/ Absolute floor of dead russians is 111 thousand Korean war had 2.5 million military and about the same of civilian casualities. And it was 20 million country fighting 9 million country. Population of russia is 140 million. And Ukraine 37 million.
- apothegm 1y agoYup, and casualties includes injuries that take people out of action, not just deaths. A badly sprained ankle is a casualty. So total casualties will be significantly higher than that 110K.
- Aloisius 1y agoThe US and Russia do not conduct wars the same way. I'm not sure comparing them is a valid sanity check.
