Russian casualties of war lists deaths of Russian armed forces and Russian citizens caused by conflicts in which Russia was involved. The Soviet wars listed below also include deaths of all Soviet armed forces and all Soviet citizens caused by conflicts in which the Soviet Union was involved.
Russian troop KIAs are worse than WWI. The November 2023 monthly Russian troop casualties doubled the number from March 2022. It took 20 months of NATO's frantic attempts by every conceivable conventional means to succeed in assisting the AFU to double the monthly number of Russian troop casualties. But the SVR succeeded in slowing the doubling again rate (55,900/mo). The percent increase between the first calendar month and the last calendar month forecasts the next 500,000 casualties to occur before the end of the next calendar year. The sustaining effect of Russia's increasing recruiting rate is a major warfare issue.
