A new chart shared by the hack groups using the data suggests that as many as 50,000 Russian soldiers are killed every month.

This is probably killed and wounded. At 50k killed a month you would have additionally x6-x10 as many wounded. And they don't even have general mobilization to support such losses.

This is some Pravda level reporting.

If thats using pre-ukraine ratios that's believable but this war has been extremely lethal for both sides. Instead of cassevac in hours it can sometimes take weeks so a survivable injury in Afghanistan becomes a death sentence in Ukraine. Look at that one dude who was stuck in his position wounded for months. They used a drone to cassevac him because rescue kept getting attacked and killed and the russian drones wouldn't let him leave.
