Hundreds were killed in Ukraine: Air Force Journalists told about the huge losses of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces

According to journalists, the total number of 331 regiment before the full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine could be estimated at 1500-1700 people. The Russian 331 Kostroma Guards Parachut and December Regiment may have lost, possibly hundreds of soldiers after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. 94 victims were confirmed using open sources, but the real number of losses can be much higher, taking into account the wounded and missing. The BBC writes about it.

According to journalists, the mass death of paratroopers has caused a lot of discussions in Kostrom, which is about 300 km northeast of Moscow. Severe losses in Ukraine have set a difficult task before the local authorities. Sergey Sitnikov, appointed by the Kremlin Governor Kostroma, tried to convince people that the Russian military was given proper support.

In addition, as stated in the material, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation also calls for paratroopers within the framework of "partial mobilization". This indicates that the invasion greatly depleted the professional army of the Russian Federation. It is reported that the total number of 331 regiment could be estimated at 1500–1700 people. When it was first sent to Ukraine in February 2022, it launched two battalions with a total number of 1000-1200 soldiers.

Having suffered severe casualties in the unsuccessful attempt to get Kiev, last summer the regiment was bred and relocated in the southern Russian garrison city of Belgorod. Then, as the journalists stated, during the next fighting, the regiment went around all the main hot spots - Razi, Kherson, and then returned to the Donbas. "Meanwhile, at the Kostroma cemetery, the price of the failure of the Russian invasion is full.

The reputation of the regiment is also buried as" the best of the best "and his dream of a easy victory," the material reads. It was also reported that the military analyst said that Russia has removed its military equipment from storage in Crimea. According to the analyst Brady Africa, satellite images have shown that tanks, artillery and other armored vehicles have disappeared from this direction.
