Shoigu's stated ~6k KIA on RU side and ~60k on UAs side does reflect the 1:10 relationship I assumed long ago.
That however excludes LDNR, RG, Wagner etc, who actually have carried out most of the fighting in several sectors. I would wager that total allied KIAs are around 15k all in all.

2. Taking into account the announced ~6000 losses since the beginning of the military operation, the mobilization of 300,000 additional personnel means that in the next 6 months we can expect another ~ 18,000 killed Russian citizens in the war.

Why don't you just send me some money now, so that I can hire myself some hookers and have a good time? M'kay?

I can only imagine the excitement some on this board must be feeling upon hearing this news. You can help! No longer are you restricted to venting your dissatisfaction online, you can now help in the field securing the Victory that your new Motherland desires to bring about that Multipolar World Order.
I assume that it's going to be quiet on the board after this statement, but it's for the greater good. Do not hesitate sign up now!
Bytheway has anyway seen Gaz lately? Or is he already on route to Wellington Airport?
Bless you all!
Unlike you, I do not hold allegiance to the geopolitics and policies of globohomo. I am a patriot to what is left of the American republic. You and fellow antichrist bootlickers and haters of nation states can **** off. You have been exposed as a tool of wickedness. You are serving the transnational elites. You are a patriot to no people or nation. As a nationalist I will support those resisting the unipolar, godless dinosaur that has all but destroyed my once God blessed nation.

I'm not acting out a drama-I'm voicing my concerns based on an analysis of the data available to me. I'm trying to look a little further than tomorrow. I point out potentially dangerous trends that can lead to an extremely negative scenario of events.
Nothing to do with drama, you know.

People who are currently on conscription are not subject to mobilization. Additionally, university students would not be mobilized under any circumstances.mnrck wrote:Defence Minister Shoigu Breaks Down Military Mobilization

They can't be much higher bro, as they don't have the numbers needed.
Stated losses are about 4k in the republican militia ranks, which is actually high if we consider that they have some 40-50k men in arms.
Not sure if the national guard is added to this, but that would still make some +/-10-12k KIA ratio, for half a year of highly intense and technically advanced conflict. That brings the ratios to 1:10+ at the moment, and I suppose the spread will only get higher, as it has already been since May.
