The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.22 to 25.05.24
Загальні бойові втрати противника з 24.02.22 по 25.05.24 (орієнтовно)
*УВАГА! У зв'язку з постійним надходженням уточнених розвідувальних даних, виникла потреба коригування деяких позицій загальних втрат противника - БпЛА оперативно-тактичного рівня. Загальна цифра скоригована, а втрати за добу подаються у звичайному режимі.
Just utter madness. That Russians (or anyone else fighting on their side) continue to sacrifice their lives for such a shitty cause is so mind-boggling. These numbers are close to the number of Americans killed in WW2 (405k) or in our Civil War (620k), but those lasted about twice the amount of time that this war has been going on for. Russia just spending lives like it’s nothing, and that’s who Republicans have allied themselves with?
Plus Russia had 8.7 million military deaths in WW2, so this is really just a small military operation for them.
The current casualty numbers are something like 5x the total Soviet losses over a decade in Afghanistan. That conflict was ultimately deeply unpopular and destabilizing for the Soviet Union, so I'm not sure I'd agree with characterizing it as small change for them.
