Prisoners, officers and mobilized: BBC was calculated by Russian losses after February 24 2022
The Russian Federation involves the so -called "its" - a full -scale war in the territory of Ukraine - civilians. They are often sent into battle, providing outdated equipment. "The main burden on the front line, as before, lies on mobilized, volunteers (including those who now signs contracts with the PEC" Redut "and its components) and recruited from colonies of prisoners," the journalists emphasized.
Civilians who joined the Armed Forces after the start of a full -scale invasion, account for almost 50% of all combat losses of Russia. Of the 5169 mobilized Russians, whose death was confirmed, 80% have died in the last year. At the same time, wounded mobilized is increasingly recognized as suitable for military service and returned to the front. In order to compensate for its losses, the Russian Federation continues to actively recruit prisoners.
"And all who have signed the contract since September are obliged to serve not six months, as before, but by the end of the war," the media noted. The fact that previously the prisoners had some "privileges" caused indignation of mobilized relatives. So now the conditions have changed: the stay on the front is extended, and the pardon from the President was replaced for conditional dismissal. Investigators managed to establish 8062 prisoners who died in Ukraine.
However, their number is actually much higher. Those who managed to survive and the relatives of the dead confirm that the bodies of many prisoners recruited into the army may not be evacuated for weeks. The aggressor country loses in Ukraine and fighters from the officers. During the Great War, at least 3079 Russian officers were killed. Journalists emphasized that the loss of junior officers is influenced by the units of units.
They managed to confirm the death of 2278 military in rank from lieutenant to the captain. "Their loss, according to experts, leads to a serious loss of tactical coordination. Simply put, the units begin to act differently, preventing each other on the battlefield and falling under a friendly fire," the material reads. In general, investigators managed to confirm the death of 43 014 Russian fighters. This number did not include those who fought in the units of pro -Russian fighters "DNR" and "LNR".
However, the publication is convinced that at least twice the dead in Ukraine are buried in the Russian Federation. According to the authors of the material, by the end of September, Moscow could lose 86,000 people dead. We will remind, the director of external intelligence of the Russian Federation of series Narishkin stated that Western special services allegedly preparing a revolution in Russia.
