If you multiply 365 days a year times 1,000(casualties a day) the correct answer would be 365,000 would it not? For a two year period that would be 730,000. Seems somethings off in someones calculation. At least as I see it.
The rate has not been 1,000 per day all along, it started much lower, and has been rising, as Russia’s relative firepower advantage has ebbed away. (See the chart in Post #21)
At some points, Russia once fired 50 Artillery shells, for each Ukrainian shell fired. Those days are long gone.
Russian tactics have shifted toward “Meat wave” assaults, as they have lost the capability to advance otherwise, producing higher and higher casualty rates. Nothing currently seems likely to change that trend, unless Western aid is cut off.
Flesh wounds are considered “casualties”.
