That's a really well written and convincing reply; however, that is the US Defense Department which has compiled the numbers through the past four presidential administrations.

Russia hasn't released any numbers since after the first week of the invasion, obviously because they would not look good and it would be very demoralising for both the troops and for the families back home that are receiving body bags.

Yet before you were corrected, you said the numbers were from a Ukrainian site.

Sure, we believe you.

Re: Putin's war already more costly to Russia than Afghanistan in the 80's to USSR!
As the war enters its fourth week, the Russian offensive has stalled. And the scale of Russian losses is becoming clear. The Kremlin on March 2 copped to losing fewer than 500 troops killed in action and another 1,500 wounded. The Ukrainian defense ministry a few days ago posited a much higher total: a combined 12,000 Russians “lost”—presumably meaning killed, wounded or captured.

The U.S. Defense Department’s own tally falls between these extremes. The Pentagon on March 8 estimated the Russians had suffered between 2,000 and 4,000 KIAs.

In any event, thousands of fatalities over a period of two or three weeks in a force of 200,000 is unsustainable. There surely are many wounded for every dead. Captives likely number in the hundreds. Survivors of defeated units undoubtedly are traumatized and incapable of fighting.

Worse, the KIAs probably are concentrated in front-line units. Infantry. Armor. Artillery. Those combat arms represent a minority of the invasion force. It’s entirely possible that, in combat units along the front, losses exceed half.

All that is to say, the Russian army is hurt, bad. It should come as no surprise, then, that the ground assault petered out in recent days. The army “seems to be busy hauling whatever reinforcements it can find to the front lines in Ukraine, and replacing mauled units of its first echelon with fresh units of the second,” Cooper wrote.

The problem is that second-line units from Russia’s eastern frontier, inflated by a few thousand Chechens and Syrian mercenaries, probably can’t fully restore the invasion force.

It's really becoming possible that Russia could lose this war. If they becomes clear. I think they will go to the peace table and announce that they have successfully demilitarized Ukraine, killed all the "Nazis" and go home, thus Putin can try to save face.

I dont think they are losing they have taken the most Important territory in the nation.

They have captured nuclear power plants, all deepwater ports

90% of the Coal mines, 100% of the oil pipelines, 80% of the wheat farms!

I do think the new equipment that the UK, NATO and the US are sending in this week, might give them the power to start driving Russia backwards..

I think the other part of the deal would likely be Ukraine allowing the Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic to be assimilated by Russia. They are both a real problem for Ukraine and also communist leaning, which will never play out well in the future, Allowing them to be annexed by Russia would both be face saving for Putin and Zel,enski - allowing Zelenski that he gave up a concession.

Ukraine has a lot better equipment then the afghanis had during their war, and better trained military.


So I'm guessing these figures are pretty close.

I'm guessing closer to the pentagon figures on number of dead

but Ukraine definitely has the equipment to take out the tanks and choppers

Communist Russian military is taking an epic ass-beating, commies will never recover from this which is why it's very likely they'll go nuclear and try to take everyone else out with them. Misery loves company.

-NATO estimates that up to 40,000 Russian troops have been killed, injured, captured or gone missing during the first month of the Kremlin’s war, an alliance official confirmed to NBC News.

-Of those, between 7,000 and 15,000 Russian troops have died, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Re: Putin's war already more costly to Russia than Afghanistan in the 80's to USSR!
The Soviet Union, with twice the population in 1992 (290M vs 143M) of Russia, losses in the Afghanistan war:

- 14,453 killed (total) or
- 53,753 wounded
- 264 missing
- 451 aircraft (including 333 helicopters)
- 147 tanks
- 1,314 IFV/APCs
- 433 artillery guns and mortars
- 11,369 cargo and fuel tanker trucks

That was during NINE LONG YEARS. Already after THREE WEEKS the Russian side losses are in some categories much higher than back then!




Some Russian commanders admitted on radio that Russia is losing 700 soldiers per day!

Tell us more, you Putin's asslickers, how Putin is such a military genius!
