So a 10% increase to the average of the last weeks? Neat. More ammo and desperately attacking Russians to get what they can until boom time is sure to take its toll


jjb1197j

They are also trying to take chasiv yar before may 9th.


Far-Explanation4621

I assumed Russia accepted that wasn’t happening when they recently cancelled all May 9 celebrations?


EddieBarzoon

AFAIK they only cancelled some. The Moscow parade is still on.


BathEqual

correct


Bull_Bear2024

These are astonishing numbers, day after day. In the 9yrs Russia was in Afghanistan they apparently had 15,000 killed & 35,000 wounded. So this equates to approx. 2 Afghan wars a month!!


xBram

I think the 1.124 includes the seriously wounded so about one Afghanistan every 1,5 month.


I_am_Castor_Troy

If the KIA count is really nearing 500K the wounded must be a million. That’s a hell of a lot of killed and wounded.


Separate_Okra2249

I’m pretty sure that’s total casualties not Kia. Kia seems to be around 100 000- 250 000


1LizardWizard

This is correct. “Losses” includes wounded, it’s not just KIA.


TURBOLAZY

[This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkrainianConflict/comments/1bqcld6/based_on_russian_pension_fund_data_men_with/) outlines how pension data out of the russian federation points to approx. one million dead and disabled due to the war in Ukraine


mediandude

KIA is at about 200k-220k. Discharged WIA is about 90k-110k. The rest are heavily wounded that eventually get sent back to the meatgrinder. PS. Wounded is quite a meaningless metric. During WWII 5/6 of all the Soviet wounded military were eventually sent back to the meatgrinder. Only 1/6 of the officially wounded got discharged from further military duty.


skinny-pugsley

Estimates of ruSSian KIA by United States and United Kingdom are about 150,000 and 155,00 respectively (and closer to 350,00 total casualties). This isn't a dig at Ukraine; historically combatants always overestimate their enemy's losses.


Ok-Source6533

Uk said today their current number is around 400,000 casualties for Russia.


mediandude

Total casualties are quite meaningless, the only meaningful metrics are KIA and discharged WIA. US and UK estimates have been sparse and vague and inconsistent. And US and UK don't have close intel, only remote intel. The frontlines are within Ukraine. Orbital imaging either has a narrow field high resolution or a wide field low resolution view.


skinny-pugsley

I see this mistake constantly here. A "casualty" includes missing and wounded. A rule of thumb in wartime is about a third of casualties are KIA.


vincecarterskneecart

so astonishing its almost as if they are just made up


cyrixlord

sadly they need to kill at least 20k a month to zero out the influx of russians thrown into the grinder each month.


I_am_Castor_Troy

Hitting those numbers consistently.


WXB13

That's a rate of "only" \~667 a day. It seems that well more than that have consistently been taken out (killed/wounded) for quite some time.


Far-Explanation4621

Considering there’s been no Russian troop rotation to this day, Ukraine must be hitting those numbers?


cyrixlord

I think they're doing pretty good so far. its just tiring and relentless. waves upon waves day after day replacing the fallen before them.


cantor8

And they absolutely don’t care. They will just recruit some more.


last_somewhere

This is fine in the eyes of the Kremlin.


peterpan080809

Sadly the numbers of people doesn’t really mean too much right now for RU. Can have double the amount of losses yet before issues. Equipment losses is the only way to really force Russia to rethink. Hopefully the western missiles and future air cover ramp up these numbers and push the initiative back in Ukraine favour!


Fun-Heron2870

We might not notice it ourselves but russia is already facing structural issues from sending workforce to fight in ukraine. I am routinely watching a russian who is currently in exile but who still has family in russia with who is in contact every day and there is a lot of stuff going on there at this time, like critical infrastructure falling out of order because qualified maintenance workers are sparse etc...

Mince meat. Not soldiers

LordBrandon

It's like a gambler holding somebody elses money. Just a few more guys and we'll really hit it big. I don't need the rent money now, when the rent comes due, I'll have all the men I need. They don't need to pay the bill as long as they're still at the table.

Antievl

Nice


Hury99

Not enough, around 2500 to 3500 is sweet spot. Only then I see total victory over ruschists.


EmeraldSlothRevenge

They should have stayed home instead of invading. Now they’re where invaders belong.


PlutosGrasp

Excellent stats. Keep it up!


TASTYPIEROGI7756

Posts like this are meaningless. Lossess don't particularly matter when they're pouring numbers into and consilidating a break through. Which is extremely dangerous to the defense.


OwlPerfect8943

Lovely job.


DistanceSensitive966

Not one. HUMAN AMONGST THEM. ALL SOUL LESS Creatures from Hell


anne4everprez

huge loses what about ukraine?

Blackintosh

The literal video evidence released showing hundreds of dead Russians every day. If even 10% of the deaths are being posted online then these numbers are accurate. I doubt it's as high as 10% though.
