i took the statistics some german NGOs published regarding amputees in Ukraine, took the amputee, seriously injured (+48 hours out of combat) and death statistics from America during operation iraqi freedom, did some elementary-school arithmetic and estimated at least 600,000 losses for the ukrainians. and that's assuming the Ukrainians were fighting at least as well as the Americans did against the Iraqis. and that was not even two years into the war.
the numbers convinced my bro. he asked me why they were not surrendering and how could they sustain themselves. but i have no fucking idea other than NATO wanting to fight to the last Ukrainian.
here, have fun do the numbers yourself, all papers say amputation rates for us soldiers throughout modern conflicts are similar.
> Of these, 423 (5.2% of all serious injuries; 7.4%
>of major limb injuries) underwent major limb amputation or
>amputation at or proximal to the wrist or ankle joint. The mechanism
>of injury for 87.9% was some form of explosive device. The major
>amputation rate during Vietnam was 8.3% of major limb injuries.
>Conclusions: Overall, major limb amputation rates for the current
>U.S. engagement in Afghanistan and Iraq are similar to those of
>previous conflicts.
>ccording to Internet sources there
>may be more than 5000 amputees from the Vietnam War,
>giving an amputation rate of 5.2% of the roughly 96,000
>seriously injured casualties.
>Between 20,000 and 50,000 Ukrainians have lost one or more limbs since the start of the war, according to previously undisclosed estimates by
20,000*20= 400,000 serious injuries (+48 hours out of combat), at least. that was summer 2023.
