Fighters from Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces have wiped out 900 Russian soldiers over the past day and a half along a 100-kilometre section of the front line in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.

    Jesus. 900 people is like everyone I know and interacted in a lifetime and I vaguely remember…

    I mean, even for a cemetery, it would be a large one. In a single day.

    I truly hope the ongoing thing with Iran puts Putin as a true candidate for a Gaddafi parade.

      Unclear if these are real deaths though, possiby this number includes wounded as well. Totals for the Ukraine war are around half a million deaths and 2 million injured until now. So around 350 deaths/1400 injuries per day

        Details: USF’s press service specified to Ukrainska Pravda that this refers to Russian losses in terms of those killed and wounded.

        The figure includes wounded soldiers.

        Citation needed. I’ve seens lot of different reports, none with that break down. Russia doesn’t care about soldiers so many injured turn into dead when a good doctor could save their life. Also Russia is using soldiers in stupid ways resulting in a lot higher death/injury ratio than you would expect in a normal war. However in the end I’ve never seen a source for the whole dead/injuried breakdown that is more reliable than “someone on an internet forum said it”.

      Yeah, but imagine that it has been on average about that many for every single day for four years now.
