An interesting article on why the Russians are failing so badly in Kursk: meat-wave tactics, very old weapons, and being out-smarted by Ukraine.

The number I saw quoted for 2024 casualties is 430,000, or 36,000 troops a month average for the year (or 1180 per day).

It is generally known that Russian casualties have gotten worse as the year went along.
