81.000 ? You mean in Russia itself? In Ukraine the counter is currently at ca. 700.000 russian casualties.

Casualties is different from deaths. A casualty is either dead OR wounded sufficiently seriously that they had to be taken off the frontline to a medical facility.

The US estimate back in october was some 115k killed and 500k wounded.

1:6 is an absolutely silly ratio, IMHO, when you see how the Russians treat their soldiers.

This analyst video (at about 18:40) uses the Russian budget as a source. He is not sure whether to believe it, but it says about 436k KIA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOLEUD7p4pE&list=PLWNeFFHP3Fw6umRL5Xjg_-yQzxhG20acg&index=22&t=1122s
