 "New estimate of Russian dead and wounded after 15 months of war in Ukraine"

From "Hotair" ^ | 07/10/2023 | John Sexton the tip from Freeper.

"A joint investigation carried out by two media organizations and a professor at a German university has offered what may be the most accurate estimate yet of the number of Russians killed and injured in the first 15 months of the war in Ukraine."

"Analyzing existing reports about published obituaries, mortality data from the Federal State Statistics Service, and extensive records from the National Probate Registry, we estimate that between 40,000 and 55,000 Russian men under the age of 50 died fighting in Ukraine by May 27, 2023. When factoring in the number of men wounded so seriously that they did not return to military service, Russia’s total casualty count rises to at least 125,000 soldiers, based on our calculations. (This figure does not include missing or captured soldiers or Ukrainian nationals fighting with Russian proxy forces based in Donetsk and Luhansk.)"

Total casualties as estimated about 125,000 Russians of which roughly 47,000 have perished? Within context of modern military medicine that ratio of wounded to dead poor! Accuracy of this study and methodology used as in almost all cases subject to scrutiny.

Given that figure of 47,000 killed-in-action [KIA] hardly is the Russian army at the breaking point and running the risk of "crumbling" at least if you use the very general rule-of-thumb as can be inferred from the Great War.
