Russia likely lost 1,500 troops a day for the last 3 months, straining its ability to replace them

Russia's military casualties have exceeded 1,500 a day over recent months, raising concerns about its ability to replenish forces. As per UK Ministry of Defence data, Russian soldiers lost averaged 1,523 in November and 1,570 in December, with recent conflicts contributing to this spike. Recruitment efforts appear inadequate as parts of Russia fail to meet hiring targets, influenced by the unpopularity of conscription. Additionally, a military recruitment drive announced last year has not proved sufficient to offset losses, leading analysts to predict ongoing challenges for the Kremlin as public support dwindles.

Russia is facing a significant challenge in replacing its battlefield casualties, which have risen to an alarming rate of over 1,500 troops lost per day.

Despite efforts to boost recruitment, there are signs that parts of Russia are struggling to meet their military recruitment quotas, indicating waning public support.
