The Wall Street Journal reports this is based on intelligence that puts the death toll somewhere between 7 and 15k, and statistical modelling to infer the total loss of force strength based on that figure.

I wonder how aware of this Putin is. Are the yes-men still telling him only what he wants to hear or is he actually out of his tiny little gourd? |
If correct, and I mean if, that is a colossal number.
That’s around 50% total of the British army, and just shy of 35% of estimated number of soldiers in this offensive.
Seems high to me from my armchair.
Losses that high after 3 weeks are totally unsustainable, at that rate the whole Russian offensive could be neutralised in a further 6 weeks.
Which makes me think it’s quite an over estimate….
