Official data puts the casualties at 3,826 KIA, 1,906 MIA, 17,892 WIA. 90,000 russian soldiers took part in the first 3 years of the Second Campaign (1999-present). In those first 3 years (1999-2002), the casualties were 4,572 KIA, 15,549 WIA. Apparently after 2002 the number of casualties has not been updated. source for numbers: mosnews.com This post has been edited by Imperialist on October 08, 2005 10:07 am -------------------- I

Are you sure that they are not force levels? I suspect that several times as many men passed through Chechenya during the two conflicts. For example, the number of Americans in South Vietnam peaked at about 500,000 but several times as many passed through during the entire conflict. Cheers, Sid.

Hi Imperialist,

Cheers,

Sid.

I presume that generally when this kind of numbers are given they referr to the force level, not to the number of men who cycled through there.
