Russians do not suffer from “Bodybagaphobia” like the west—In all the gulf war we lost 5,000 fighters. In 30 minutes, in one battle in 1863, the Union Army lost that many! If we lose 10,000 men in a war—today—there would be peace marches and a call for surrender. Russia can and may well lose 50,000 and still fight on to win. All we have are Ukraine figures on how many Russia has lost? What is the true number? Question for you: How many men, women, children did we kill in Iraq? What was their losses? Well, you say, Saddam was another Hitler so we had to slaughter them.

In the first hour of the landing at Normandy, the US lost 4,000 KIA.
Russia is already way past your 50,000 number and working on 120,000 KIA (200s).
