How many Russians do you think died in this carnage?

The first Youtube video shows a Russian artillery position that was destroyed. Looks like counter-battery fire with a follow-up ground sweep. I count 9 Vehicles destroyed.

Pulling a number out of my nether regions, I would guess that was about 60 casualties out of about 150 people (a company). The rest did manage to get away in good order.

The Rosgvardia video looks like a convoy ambush with about 28-30 vehicles destroyed in a ground-based ambush. The vehicles are mostly troop carriers, and this was probably a battalion of about 500 men. My nether regions deliver an estimate of 200 casualties. The survivors did not get away in good order. There appears to be corpses left in the snow.

A real military observer on scene would of course deliver estimates much closer to what actually happened.

What a horrible waste of young men, is my basic assessment. I do not see any kind of victory here.

In the Ukrain count....Are they including the Ukrainian fighters along with the military soldiers death count or are they counting them as citizens death count? And what about the foreign soldiers?
