British Intelligence Reveals Russian Military’s Catastrophic Losses

Even Russian officials do not know the exact number of deaths.

According to British intelligence, since the start of the full-scale invasion, the aggressor country Russia has lost more than 300 thousand military personnel, but even Russian officials do not know the exact number of deaths.

This is stated in the British Ministry of Defence intelligence report published on Monday, December 4.

The analysts of the British Intelligence report that since 24 February 2022 and November 2023, official Russian MoD forces likely suffered between 180,000 and 240,000 personnel wounded and approximately 50,000 killed. Wagner Group mercenaries likely suffered approximately 40,000 wounded and 20,000 killed.

According to British Intelligence, overall, the Russian side has likely suffered around 220,000-280,000 wounded and approximately 70,000 killed. This gives an estimated range of between 290,000 and 350,000 total Russian combatant casualties.

The median of the estimated range is 320,000 total Russian combatant casualties, the intelligence officers report.

The British Intelligence notes that even amongst Russian officials there is likely a low level of understanding about total casualty figures because of a long-established culture of dishonest reporting within the military.
