    I’m not going to lie i don’t trust that is a true number for Russia. The amount of prisoners and old men in the battlefield makes any reported values seem suspicious.

      Yeah, something seems off here. Russia has about a third of the population of the US, yet more active soldiers. Even still, with the huge amount of casualties in the “meat grinder”?

        Yeah they may be pulling a NK where everyone is a soldier until they are not when they need to hide military casualties.
