    Addendum:

    A human “casualty” total is also usually the sum of KIA and disabled/wounded.

    It varies from conflct to confict and country to country.

    (KIA * 3) is generally a “casualty count”, but that is a rough estimate always. (In some cases, large equipment is included in the total sum of casualty count, but that isn’t applicable here.)

    (Vehicle kill * estimate number of passengers) can be a thing.

    My point: fog of war is a bitch and true numbers won’t be known for years.
