I always interpreted these casualties as wounded included and estimate a large part of those have been recirculated into combat after becoming fit again. That also means that some are counted at least twice. If this really were accurate kill numbers, Russia would’ve dropped out of the war already. 200k body bags is unsustainable, even for Russia.
Oh for sure. But there are a lot fewer than 300k corpses. I’m guessing it’s sub 100k. Which is still an enormous clusterfuck of epic proportions, mind. As a reminder, the US had ~58,000 dead over the course of the entire war in Vietnam (~10 years total for active operations). Russia has had probably around twice that number killed in less than 2 years in Ukraine.

@Pringles @elbucho there are no body bags of eliminated russians. There is an overwhelming stink over the combat zones. Of rotting russian corpses.
