Again, according to official figures, the number of Russian soldiers who died in the Afghanistan war in a ten year period is about 15,000. The US losses (deaths) in the Vietnam War is (1965-1975) around 60,000. The total number of deaths in the Kurdish Insurrection that is going on since 1985 is around 40,000 people.
If this conflict is allowed to stretch any further, I think we will start to compare these figures with WWII losses of several countries. The UK for instance is 150,000 soldiers + 300,000 civilians.
