Russia has fully adapted its army to attritional war: UK intelligence predicts increase in Russian losses
UK intelligence predicts that over the next two months, the Russian army's losses in the war with Ukraine will increase. However, the Kremlin has fully adapted the army to the attritional warfare
This was reported by the UK Ministry of Defense.
The average daily number of Russian casualties, killed and wounded, in Ukraine in April 2024 remained at the level of 2024 - 899 losses per day.
"It is likely that Russia's casualty rate will again increase over the next two months as they renew dedicated offensive operations in eastern Ukraine. This follows a slight decrease in the pace of operations over the past two months since the fall of Avdiivka," the report says.
The intelligence suggests that it is likely that, despite the extreme cost in life, Russia has fully adapted its army to an attritional warfare that relies on mass over quality. This trend is likely to continue throughout the war in Ukraine and will have long-term effects on the future of the Russian army.
