  1. These are he same guys who used probate data to estimate Russian KIA (including Wagner) – one of the problems with those datasets is the lag between a death and a probate case, so in this new methodology they’re correcting for that with a projection. Their estimate is 120k Russian KIA.

    I’m not aware of any other attempts at estimating Russia’s casualties using data like this, so I think it’s quite valuable.

  2. It seems plausible, and given the conservative KIA to WIA ratio of 1:3, that’s about 500,000 casualties. And we are only talking about confirmed losses. Those who evaporated with their tanks for example, are not included in this research.

  3. The rate is growing…I suppose their treatment of wounded is to send them back to the front isn’t it? I’ve seen some pretty gruesome maggot infested, untreated wounds, and others of soldiers simply being left to bleed out. Have you seen the videos of the corpses just rotting in the fields? The rate of death must increase with no medical treatment for wounded.
