11,000 dead Russians troops

I keep hearing this number of Russians KIA on the MSM. Does anyone believe this number? Or is it just me?
Any verifiable sources to this seemingly BS number?
Sounds just like inflated Covid numbers

Not impossible, but highly improbable

No.
Propaganda is flying from all corners.

That’s a BS number, that would be a huge part of their force, almost 10%. I don’t believe that at all.

I’m sure it’s somewhere in that neighborhood. Doesn’t have to be exact.

I've been following the conflict by the minute and I've seen a minimum 300 or 400 destroyed russian vehicles, at least 10 columns destroyed.

Russia has taken a ton of equipment losses and they sustained a lot fatalities from some of the best specialized units like paratrooper/air assault.
11k dead is just straight up propaganda. There is no way.

It doesn’t make any sense that the info the Russians put out on their kills are at least half that while they are the ones expanding territory and winning. Just more wish casting and the idiots on social media believe it

Ive heard you should divide it by 2. But, it's a big # no matter what cause Putin's army wouldn't be bogged down like they've been if they weren't taking heavy casualties.

yes way and they had a general snipered

The only reason they are slowed is because Ukraine is hiding in civilian areas. Russians are going to haphazardly bomb them

At this point there is no way to sift fact from fiction. That number may seem high. However, keep in mind the war is like 10 days in and covers huge formations across multiple huge fronts. From the destruction I’ve seen, it’s entirely possible the Russians have indeed lost in the ballpark of 10,000 dead. But again, it’s impossible to know right now. In fact, it will probably be years before we know the true number.

MSM loves the underdog.....NO WAY that many have been killed!

They’re also losing flag and field grade officers out in the field. It is hard to know if it is because the action is just that hot or if it is a factor of their comms/opsec situation being so poor that high brass is having to go forward just to assure their intent is being executed.
Furthermore, they are often getting bogged down due to poor strategy and their equipment not being in good enough shape to go anywhere but hardball roadways. I don’t know how much of their lacking advance is due to direct defense v. indirect (man-made flood, taking out bridges, etc).
Divide by two and getting to 5.5k is a bit more reasonable. Remember they lost 2 transport planes full of paratroopers in the first days of the war. That was probably a battalion’s worth of specialized soldiers.

This is true.

However, this is not. As I said above, it may or may not be true. But, knowing the nature of what a real modern war can and does look like between two real armed forces, I can say with confidence it is indeed at least possibly close to that number. But, again as I said before, we have no way to know the actual number and probably won’t for perhaps years.

I certainly hope not. Just fodder for tyrants, but each life, on each side, unique and special.
Peace, my bros.
