    Edit: apologies - this actually isn’t a very good comparison. The chart I linked is actually just deaths, not total casualties.

    According to this wiki page, the MoD’s numbers would put Russia’s military casualties alone roughly on par with total military and civilian casualties deaths on all sides from the US War on Terror (which lasted about two decades, compared to about 20 months for this newest active phase of the Ukrainian War).

    That’s… impressive. And extremely unsustainable.

    (Note: not here to litigate the war on terror or whatever you want to call it. This is simply a comparison point.)
