Russia’s ‘irrecoverable losses’ in Ukraine: more than 90,000 troops dead, disabled, or AWOL
Meduza ^ | Oct.12, 2022

Posted on 10/12/2022 8:04:14 AM PDT by Salohcin

More than 90,000 troops make up Russia’s “irrecoverable” military losses in Ukraine, as reported by the Russian media project iStories (or Vazhnye Istorii). One of the two sources of this information works in the FSB; the other is a former state security officer. [Emphasis added.]

“Irrecoverable losses” is a category that includes servicemen who were killed, went missing, died from their wounds or were disabled and cannot return to military service.

This new estimate is close to the figures stated earlier by the Pentagon and the British Defense Ministry. Last August, the Pentagon estimated that 70–80 thousand Russian troops had been killed or critically wounded since the start of the war. In September, the British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace stated that the Russian army’s total losses exceeded 80,000; of those, about 25,000 were thought to have been killed.

Kiev was a negotiated withdrawal.

Regarding Moskva it was told that the problem is a detonation of ammunition. I think the real reason were Western ASM and the government decided not to air it or the public would demand your blood.

According to Alaudinov, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already lost more than 50% of their personnel and equipment. The commander of the special forces “Akhmat” expressed the opinion that further the enemy would be forced to withdraw from those areas that had been occupied by him over the last period of time, RIA Novosti reports.

Earlier, Secretary of the Security Council of Chechnya Apty Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat special forces in the Luhansk direction in the special military operation zone, estimated the daily losses of the Ukrainian armed forces along the entire front line at more than 1,000 people.”

“The commander of the special forces “Akhmat” announced the elimination of more than 50% of the Armed Forces of Ukraine”

the Russian missile barrage has highlighter the weakness, if not absence, of Ukraine’s anti-missile defense system

then it's a good thing Ukraine is getting those new IRIS-T systems from Germany and NASAMS from the US, huh?

>> 63,000 dead bodies are awfully hard to hide or dispose of... There should be a plethora of pics and videos of them stacked like cordwood, especially from Ukrainian sources and especially in the newly conquered areas. <<

Over 200 days, over a 100,000 square miles? Uh, no.

>> especially from Ukrainian sources and especially in the newly conquered areas. <<

Pretty damned low opinion of the Russians you have if you believe they are just as likely to leave their comrades behind to rot in the mud the way they leave their tanks behind.

(groan) (not this **** again)

OK, here's proof that that is a lie -

1. Ukraine was the first to announce the strike, even before Russia ... how would they know that if they didn't carry it out?

2. right after the strike, Russia ordered all its ships in the area 80 miles further offshore ... now why would Russia do something like that? it wouldn't reduce any chance of "ammo blowing up", but it WOULD reduce the chance of another missile strike

the actions have already revealed the truth

Yes, it’s based in Latvia, but your own comment says “Our team includes some of Russia’s top professionals in news and reporting.” Putin has killed off any true independent journalism inside Russia.

I'm not worried. I'm all stocked up for the impending worldwide vodka shortage.

Ukrainian men were leaving at the first shot...They were stopped at the border and “enlisted” immediately.

Kiev was a negotiated withdrawal

and about that, Russia sent in its elite paratroops, and they were mauled

you don't commit your elite soldiers in a feint, only in a battle you really want to win

the childish denialism of the plainly obvious among you Russian trolls is just unbelievable
