I read a quote from a DOD briefer yesterday that most of these deaths are concentrated in Russia's combat-ready forces, not in combat support forces, so the deaths are particularly devastating to Russia's ability to initiate offensive action in the future.
Already, combat support troops are being placed in to combat roles they aren't trained for. That will probably make it even easier for Ukrainian troops to kill them.
Before the invasion happened, I made the comment to my wife that Putin's grievance isn't with the West, it's with objective reality in the 21st Century. The Russian leadership's unwillingness to accept inconvenient facts is destroying their stature in the world, perhaps permanently.
