Death rate - as in World War II: interesting medical data on the Russian army in Ukraine has emerged

A 33% death rate in the Russian Armed Forces on the battlefield is equal to the death rate of soldiers during World War II.

This is what military observer Yigal Levin writes on his TG-channel.

He released a document in which Israeli military medical researchers analyzed the medical aspects of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

It is noted that the main cause of death in the Russian Armed Forces on the battlefield is blood loss from limb trauma. Typical causes of occupants death are frostbite due to poor winter provision, head injuries, as well as burns. The Israeli researchers didn't record a single documented case of specialized care for soldiers with burns on the battlefield, meaning they were not taken to the hospital.

The study showed that most Russian wounded were evacuated from the battlefield without first aid, and their wounds only worsened. The main primary "treatment" of the wounded in hospitals was limited to amputation of the affected limbs. Russia also doesn't work with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) because of cultural stereotypes and prejudices. They equate trauma with cowardice and mental weakness.

There are also major problems with the level of motivation and morale in the enemy army, so there is a high level of refusal and desertion. Commanders deal with these threats by using manipulation, insults, and making soldiers feel guilty. As a consequence, the Russian soldier spews his depression and sense of humiliation onto the Ukrainians in the occupied territories, who are abused and robbed.
