  • No, you’re misunderstanding. ‘Casualties’ means ‘One who is injured, killed, captured, or missing in action through engagement with an enemy’.

    You’re using the word to mean ‘dead’ and that is incorrect.

    Additionally, it is extremely difficult for a side to accurately determine opfor dead vs. wounded. IIRC 3 wounded : 1 dead is a reasonable approximation.

    Kyiv

    While Ukraine has taken a small piece of Kursk

    That ‘small piece of Kursk’ is more territory than Russia has gained between their Kharkiv withdrawal and subsequent slow grinding offensive.

    The losses are for less than nothing. Even with their seemingly inexorable advance they’ve lost overall territory and fighting ability relative to Ukraine. I still project Russia has maybe 2 years tops of fighting left but so long as Ukraine limits their withdrawal rate to what we’ve seen of late they will win.
