Recent leaked Russian government documents show ~400,000 dead from Ukrainehttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/nov/09/russians-killed-ukraine-war-leaked-dataRussian OSINT has confirmed 285,881 names and sources dead from Ukraine,https://200.zona.media/Comparisons,Chinese numbers for Chinese dead during the Korean War; 183,108https://anzacportal.dva.gov.au/wars-and-missions/korean-war/politics/aftermathJanbazan Affairs Organization numbers for Iranian soldiers dead during the Iran-Iraq War; 185,437https://www.researchgate.net/publication/5782755_Iranian_casualties_during_the_eight_years_of_Iraq-Iran_conflictThe only country that compares is North Vietnam, with the Vietnamese government cited on Wikipedia (I don't speak Vietnamese) claiming 849,018 PAVN dead and 232,000 missing, for a total of 1,081,018, 30–40% of which are non-combat (making from approximately 324,300 to 432,410 combat deaths)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War_casualties#North_Vietnamese_and_Viet_Cong_military_casualtiesHOWEVER, this is over the course of 1960–1975. Meaning that per day, the Russians are suffering more dead per day than the total dead and missing of PAVN;>PAVN dead & missing per day; 197>Russian dead per day; 231.82 (from the 400,000 figure)That is FUCKING APPALLING.I can't think of combatant deaths since WWII worse than three examples to compare. If anyone has any let me know, because fuck.
>>546204644I don't think it's close. This is by far the bloodiest war since WWII. The intensity of its combat is itself basically on par with a theater or campaign of WWII. The major difference is that it's just sustained killing rather than there being enormous set-piece battles like Iwo Jima or Okinawa.
No, because Iran-Iraq and Korea exist
>>546204644The Congolese killed around 4 million of themselves during their wars from the late-90's onwards.
>>546204644this is a war of attrition that ukraine has lost.they are being actively replaced by jeets by their own government while they are out fighting and dying. this wasnt a war about anything other than just getting rid of the retarded and poor russians, and turning ukraine into little india.
>>546206731The OP literally lays out how this is deadlier than either.>>546206792>deadliest war for combatants>combatants
>>546206792It is by far the deadliest conflict since WW2. Even the Congo War was mostly deaths by disease and famine, this is straight up mass slaughtering of soldiers
>>546204644>Recent leaked Russian government documents show ~400,000 dead from UkraineNot dead but gravely injured and half of them were Chechens and Korean mercenaries. Learn to read hohol pig
>>546206980No it isn't. Vietnam and Korea both likely had more deaths and casualties.
>>546204644Yes but for Ukrainians, Protip: there's a reason they're dragging cripples and pregnant women to the front.
>>546207027It's obvious they are set to collapse. It's like Saigon on steroids.
>>546207010No, the leaked Rosstat number is just strictly deaths.
>>546206683Well, if you dare to ascribe other ongoing conflicts in the world to this major one...
>>546207010Cope, that number is KIA according to the ZIgger government, casualties counting wounded are nearly 2 MILLION. ALso Chechen deaths are rare, they tried to play tough guys early on but as soon as one of their luxury armored SUV convoys got wiped out by the Ukrainians they retreated and only act only as barrier troops.
