(13,538 posts)Obviously the attackers usually lose more, but I've been hearing "over 300,000 Russian dead" for some time now. A 10 to 1 ratio in this type of war seems a bit out of whack. But I hope the UKR dead IS that "low" & they can continue to inflict heavy losses of Putin's ego

(4,616 posts)The strategy going back forever is just throw more and more bodies at the problem. The Soviets had 8.7 million KIA in WWII versus 5.3 million for the Germans (fighting on 2 and sometimes 3 fronts) versus 407,000 for the U.S. fighting in Europe and the Pacific.
