    A bit over one third of these losses are deaths.

    Typically in wars it’s about one sixth, and that is also approximately Ukraine’s ratio as well. For the Russia the number is very different because they don’t care for their wounded – many of the wounded are converted to dead through inexistence of medical care.

    So, 900 000 Russian losses equals a bit over 300 000 dead orcs/roaches/whateveryoucallthem.

    The thing is, for the war it doesn’t really have much meaning whether the loss is through death or a serious wound. It’s one soldier less all the same.
