Again, its a moot point.

It was inferred that the MOD estimated 300k dead Russians, just waiting for Malopox to provide a source for that.
The last estimate I can find is from February 2023 that suggested 50,000 kia for Russia.
Doesn't seem reasonable they would increase that estimate to 300k in 8 months.
Unless 300k is an estimate of total casualties.

Seems legit

Np

Looks like you got pwned here XD

Well, no disputing those numbers!

They just all regurgitate the same unsubstantiated figures and it's like a roundabout when you're looking at their sources.

UK MOD
Leaked defense documents
Armed forces of Ukraine
Kiyv Independent
"Anonymous intelligence sources"
ISW

...and on and on, like a carousel.

Entirely plausible. Did you even read where it says killed or permanently wounded?

For reference, the Russian MOD allegedly claimed a KIA ratio of 10:1
"In September 2022, Russia's Ministry of Defence confirmed that 5,937 Russian soldiers had been killed in combat. It also claimed 61,207 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed and 49,368 wounded by this point."

We will never get an accurate figure during the war. Even after I doubt that Russian or Ukrainian MOD's would publish accurate figures of their own losses.

What is certain is the losses are very high for a modern conflict and only likely to increase.



What is your best estimate for Russian losses?

My favorite are the OSINT guys, they say some of the wildest stuff



What you deem plausible doesn't mean much to me


Utkin still alive!
