Newsweek: Top Russian General Leaks Number of Elite Casualties in Ukraine War
The commander of Russia's elite airborne troops, General Colonel Mikhail Teplinsky, leaked the number of casualties sustained by his unit since President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, prompting the Kremlin to scramble to delete his announcement.
In a video now deleted by Russia's Defense Ministry, Teplinsky, commander of the Russian Airborne Forces (the VDV), revealed on Wednesday that 8,500 Russian paratroopers have been wounded since the war in Ukraine began in February 2022.
The figure marks the highest number of casualties among a single type of military force mentioned by a Russian military official since the war began, according to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

You expected a higher number , yet the bots here will still claim 850.
That field jacket still smells of moth balls. Looks kinda empty without all the fake medals and awards.
The number was 8500. As per usual you didn't bother to read the article before typing your garbage. Foolish boy.
You're the bot Fazzy.
@2:28 you're the one who's foolish!!
Attacking Faz is childish. Got something to say? say it. Stop being a cunt.
Russian WIA numbers are not higher because VDV are serious about mixing in light armor.
America is so unserious about Airborne that they are just now adding back the light armor they removed in the 90s. American basic airborne school is where they send 2LT for morale building. Like Ranger "leadership development course", many graduates are there for "scare badge" and do not go on to serve in real combat unit.
Both NATO and Russia refuse to learn from WWII, where aircraft usually carried platoon, not company, size elements, plus light armor on gliders. Most successful WWII airborne operations came late in that war, like Operation Varsity. It took America that long to get it right and it helped that the Axis were coming apart at the seams.
The general is part of a misinformation campaign. If casualties were that low for the VDV to have not taken Vuhledar is amazing. Either he is lying or the VDV bunch pansies.
It is unsurprising that WNU would echo the general and fulfill his propaganda role here in the West.
Russia has doubled its 2023 defence spending target to more than $100 billion - a third of all public expenditure - a government document reviewed by Reuters showed, as the costs of the war in Ukraine spiral and place growing strain on Moscow's finances.
