I’m not going to lie i don’t trust that is a true number for Russia. The amount of prisoners and old men in the battlefield makes any reported values seem suspicious.
That’s not an unbelievable number at all. Russia has a massive population and if you look at the numbers these are peace time numbers for most countries. For example, Finland’s army turns from 25-30k during peace to 900k during the war through our large reserves.
Yeah, something seems off here. Russia has about a third of the population of the US, yet more active soldiers. Even still, with the huge amount of casualties in the “meat grinder”?

Yeah they may be pulling a NK where everyone is a soldier until they are not when they need to hide military casualties.
Oh, yeah. I’m sure it’s inflated as hell.
