MSM is just drinking too much Kool-Aid.
Pentagon officials say a 10 percent casualty rate, including dead and wounded, for a single unit renders it unable to carry out combat-related tasks.(For Nato, its combat unit was rendered combat ineffective after 25% casualty rate but for Russia it considered its unit combat ineffective when it reached 40% casualty rate. Not sure the meaning of unable to carry out combat-related tasks but it doesn't make any sense that a 10% casualty rate would render a combat unit ineffective.)
Claiming 7000 Russian deaths but at the same time supporting Ukraine claims of 1300 deaths is not only bias but taking people as a fool.
The conservative side of the estimate, at more than 7,000 Russian troop deaths vs President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said this week that an estimated 1,300 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed in the war.
