UK intel: Russia suffers unprecedented 45,680 casualties in November

According to British military intelligence, the average daily Russian casualties (killed and wounded) in the Russo-Ukrainian War reached a new monthly war high during November 2024.

These record-breaking numbers, coupled with Russia’s continued offensive operations across multiple fronts despite such losses, suggest that the Russian Armed Forces are doubling-down on the strategic shift toward more aggressive tactics regardless of human cost in the Russo-Ukrainian War. The objective most likely being an effort to attain an advantage when the time for negotiations is at hand.

Military analysts note that the average daily loss rate was 1,523, according to Ukrainian General Staff reporting. This is the third straight month that Russian forces have sustained new war high average daily losses. 28 November also saw a new war high of 2,030 losses in a single day, the first time more than 2,000 have been reported.

November 2024 was also likely the most costly month of the war for Russia with a total of 45,680 casualties reported by the Ukrainian General Staff. 41,980 Russian casualties were recorded in October 2024. November was the fifth straight month that Russian forces suffered an increase in monthly total losses.

The high rate of casualties is likely reflective of the higher tempo of Russian operations and offensives. Russia is attempting to increase the pressure on Ukrainian lines as they seek to push Ukrainian forces back on several fronts including Kursk, Kupiansk, Toretsk, Pokrovsk and Velyka Novosilka.

British military analysts consider that Russia’s casualty rate will likely continue to average above 1,000 a day in December 2024 despite the onset of winter, with continued dismounted infantry attacks on multiple axes.
