Analysis of the unit strength and the battle location indicate the fog of war drove up the reporting….the marine unit did take a hit but total casualties more like 30 KIA and another 70 wounded. The settlement is not even large enough to hold 300 fighters much less result in 300 dead fighters
Claims of poor RU command battle decisionmaking may be valid…usually these reports are sorted and acted on after the fact not in the heat of continuing battle
This whole article, as with the reporting’s of such which occurred yesterday some time, were based upon the assertions of BLOGGERS...let that sink in, BLOGGERS.
‘The Ministry of Defense denied the statement of bloggers about the losses of marines in the DPR’
https://ria.ru/20221107/poteri-1829659143.html
“”Due to the competent actions of the commanders of the units, the losses of the marines over this period do not exceed one percent of the combat personnel and seven percent of the wounded, a significant part of whom have already returned to duty,” the ministry said.
They also added that the enemy’s losses along the line of contact of the brigade averaged seven to one, and in some areas - nine to one in people and equipment.”
This was the Bloggers source for the original reporting.

“Letter from the Marines of Russia, who die in vain near Pavlovka, to the Governor of Primorye, Oleg Kozhemyako. no comments
“Dear Oleg Nikolaevich. The Marines of the 155th Marine Brigade are addressing you.
Once again, we were thrown into an incomprehensible offensive by General M. and his corefan countryman A. in order for M. to earn bonuses in front of the Chief of the General Staff, and A. comrade M. promised the Hero of Russia.
As a result, we and the marines of Kamchatka are advancing on Pavlovka. As a result of the “carefully” planned offensive by the “great generals”, we lost about ... people in 4 days killed, wounded and missing. We lost ... percent of military equipment. This is just our team.
The command of the district, together with A., hide this and take the official figures of losses for fear of responsibility.
How they were going to capture the settlement by slipping through the forest plantations, in which the enemy remained now destroying ours on the ways of evacuating the wounded and transporting ammunition. In addition, Pavlovka is below Ugledar, from which they hit us.
Oleg Nikolaevich, Primorye people! How long will such mediocrity as M. and A. plan military operations for the sake of their reports and receive awards at the cost of the lives of so many people.
They don’t care about anything just to show themselves. They call people meat.
We ask you to turn to the Supreme Commander so that they send a commission not from the Ministry of Defense, where M. protects G., but an independent one.
Let them be asked the purpose of such actions, their provision, and the results without embellishment.
How much can we endure!”
