    I’ve seen a paper saying that in Afghanistan amputee were 10% or wounded.

    It’s hard to tell in Ukraine. The casualty rate for Russian is probably extremely high in the areas where they send meat waves one after the others. And for people to be disabled, they need to survive first.

    But it’s very hard to make a stat over the whole war. I wouldn’t be surprised if 30% were dead and 20% disabled.

    For after the war you need to add the trauma on top though. Even the able survivors will be psychologically scarred for life.
