Russia's losses during the three years of war exceeded the population of the capital of Dagestan

In the two years since the start of the full-scale invasion, the human losses of the Russian army have reached more than 700,000 soldiers.

This data was released on November 4, 2024 by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This is more than the 78,299 people living in the capital of the Republic of Dagestan, Makhachkala.

It should be noted that officially, there are more than 100 cities in the Russian Federation with a population of more than 100 thousand people. That is, Russia's losses in this war have now exceeded the population of cities such as Cheboksary (496,000 inhabitants) or Kaliningrad (490,000).

If we talk about smaller towns, there are two Nalchiks or five Novoshakhtynsks.

The enemy has also lost:

• 9,193 tanks.
• 18,538 armored combat vehicles.
• 20 thousand 121 artillery systems.
• 1 thousand 245 multiple launch rocket systems.
• 994 air defense systems.
• 369 airplanes.
• 329 helicopters.
• 18 thousand 280 unmanned aerial vehicles.
• 2 thousand 629 cruise missiles.
• 28 ships.
• One submarine.
• 28 thousand 237 vehicles.
• 3 thousand 587 units of special equipment.

It is now 985 days since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, and the losses suffered by this state during this period have already exceeded all the conflicts in which Russia has participated in over the past 30 years.

Thus, the official losses in the two wars in Chechnya amounted to 12,300 soldiers during the 10 years of the second and twenty months of the first "Chechen" war. According to the Union of the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers of Russia, Russia lost a total of 24 thousand soldiers in both wars.

On February 24, 2022, Russia attacked the territory of Ukraine without declaring war. Officially, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special operation against Ukraine. Since then, Ukraine has been under martial law and mobilization has been ongoing.
