An assessment, declassified as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged US lawmakers to back additional funding, describes Moscow’s setbacks during its most recent offensive as ‘severe’
This is what happens when you’re an incompetent dictator/military whose only strategies are war crimes/genocide and throwing numbers into the meat grinder.
They try to take entrenched Ukrainain positions by throwing 100s at them to be slaughtered, hoping they will overrun them. If that fails, they try again! They literally have been sending their prison population to the front line to be meat shields for their infantry.
The fact that they have to supplement their infantry with prisoners tells you all you need to know about their incompetency and how dire their situation is.
What usually happens to these bodies? I would assume a lot of them just rot somewhere. It seems insane to me that you find decomposed bodies and guns and shit in the forrest somewhere in 10 years.
Some are lost, buried under collapsed trenches/bunkers or sink into bogs/marshes. The rest, if Ukraine controls the area loads them up into train cars to ship back to russia for identification and burial though russia isn’t accepting them last I heard, would look bad for them. Russia controlled areas they leave them on the ground to rot or pile up the corpses and burn them making later identification next to impossible.
that’s not a high value at all, just divide the total casualties by the duration of the war and you get to a higher number than that for the average monthly losses. “Since October” is > 1.5 months by now
13,000 russian casualties just since october?! Holy shit
