“37,000 Russian deaths? Is that accurate?”

I’m hearing more like 50,000 dead now from all causes. 37k from combat losses. The other 13k from accidents, ammo dump explosions, air craft crashes, and some 2,000 to 3,000 estimated dead from foolishly ‘digging in’ at the Chernobyl nuclear disaster site.

Seems some idiot in the Red Army thought that Chernobyl was a strategic location. Hopefully Putin has had this criminally ignorant fool executed.

Not counting the forced Ukraine conscripts

Many of the dead were the cream of crop, the best of the best in the RGF & NI, killed between Feb 24 - end of March 2022

“37,000 Russian deaths...”

Very doubtful. The US lost 58,000 troops from 1965 thru 1975 in the Vietnam War. I can’t see Ukraine killing that many in only 4+ months of fighting.

However, if that is even close to an accurate figure, then it would seem logical to estimate Ukraine has 2-3 times as many soldiers (100,000+).

Bottom line neither of the figures are believable.

Just a bunch of propoganda. Nothing will be verifiable until it ends and the dust settles.

IMHO.
