    If we take these numbers as accurate (a big if) this a much more catastrophe war than invading Afghanistan in 1979 (where it took a decade of occupation for Soviet Union, then larger than Russia now, to lose 14,500 soldiers)https://twitter.com/tripgabriel/status/1501772902512807936 …

    An estimated 5000-6000 Russian troops have been killed in the invasion, US officials said Wednesday, up sharply from estimates days ago. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/09/world/europe/ukraine-russia-kremlin-economic-war.html …

        Add up the POW, wounded and deserters to that number and what is the percentage of the total deployment?

        Days ago Russia admitted about 500 deaths, so you’d have to imagine it was at least a few times that. Same day, Ukraine claimed 11K Russian deaths, which is almost certainly inflated. With those constraints, something like 5000 deaths a week later seems plausible.

        There’s really no way those numbers are accurate. If we start to see numbers approaching half that, they’ll start resorting to Syria tactics and you’ll know because Kyiv will be flattened.

        They're already doing that to other cities but they're not in a position to do that to Kyiv , not yet anyway. Not even close to encircled at this point.

        "Estimated" and "US officials" are two words that throw this claim into serious question.

        Much of the russian equipment on the field is incredibly outdated . Sending troops in with 30-40 year old tanks is just getting them killed and the russians have been doing that. This doesn't mean the russians can't win but they're clearly losing alot in the process.
