@prince_parn@proud_diplomat@mpkkfi Further the essential point is this: in a like for like category Ukrainian losses are 28 to 35 times higher and that is from confirmed figures in the same time period. The conjecture I then used assumed the best for Ukraine.
@prince_parn@proud_diplomat@mpkkfi The 27,000 "other" amputations are the Ukrainian gov's own conjecture of how many amputations have been carried out outside of Ukraine not before the Russian full scale invasion. Also the numbers are for total amputees not amputations.
@prince_parn@proud_diplomat@mpkkfi I think you mean "lower" but I examine in the paper why delayed CASEVAC would probably push UP the KIA:amputee ratio not decrease it.
This looks like a fake article and website, @EuromaidanPress socials link to a different url, and the article conveniently doesn't mention the name of any of those "independent Ukr OSINT channels". The fake copy of a legit news website is also a classic Ru propaganda tactic.
Confirmed data indicates Ukraine is losing far more troops to death or injury than Russia, at least ten times more, probably higher.
I discuss an academic paper by Alexander Grable @GAWL7014 presented at the Finnish Defence University @mpkkfi

@RoPoppZurich It seems unlikely as I don't think an intelligence agency would blow their means and methods so easily simply because it might be construed as being expedient in a news cycle.
Some day, probably not too far off, books will be written about the epic, dangerous journeys thousands of men undertook so they could be with their families, about the years of enforced separation. These are epic stories of violence and love.
