“50 000 Russians dead” yeah no it’s more than that
We’ve all seen the videos, mostly they just leave them to rot. I imagine someone doesn’t return they’re just “missing” unless someone cared to bring them back. Numbers look better to the higher ups this way.
While I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of it was due to blatant dishonesty, I also wouldn’t be surprised if much of the underreporting is due to simply not caring about the dead. They literally see soldiers as a resource. Maybe they just forget sometimes to note that some have passed because they’re likely not seen as worth the paperwork to those in charge.
7 dead 49,993 missing in action
if you don’t care, you don’t know it
Needs a new title. They don’t care.
When Ukraine took back Izyum in 2022, they found handwritten notebooks tracking casualties. There’s no chance they have a real idea of who they’ve lost.
Reporting casulaties to superiors is certainly a very bad idea… So no one is counting, noting down, or even asking about it.
Next step is the disposable soldiers life value becoming a circle.
