  • The hacked media reported Russian KIA to wounded ratio is very high. Something like 1 killed to 2 wounded.
    Russian field medical is as bad as their logistics? Cronyism could have siphoned off a lot of expensive medical equipment and supplies.

    I saw somebody speculate the ratio is different to other wars because how many of the deaths happened in armoured vehicles and aircraft. I.e entire tank or helicopter crews being taken out rather than infantry casualties who are more likely to be treatable.

    No idea if true but struck me as potentially plausible. There are many ways to die a bad death in a tank. And not many ways to get wounded.

  • The Ukrainian soldiers were surprised that the Russians still carry the old school rubber tourniquets.
