Bzgl. der medizinischen Lage bei der russischen Armee: Laut diesem Wikipedia-Eintrag hat das medizinische Korps (bzw. Main Military Medical Directorate) eine durchaus imposante Stärke von 100.000 Personen und 23.000 Ärzten (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Milit...e_(Russia)). Allerdings gibt es doch recht klare Hinweise dahingehend, dass Ärzte teils nur gekaufte Titel haben, gar nicht an der Front praktizieren und manchmal sogar nur reine Platzhalter-Nummern in den Statistiken darstellen.
Dazu kommt auch, dass die Sanitäter, die im Einsatz stehen, oftmals unzureichend und nicht nach festen Standards ausgebildet und unzulänglich ausgestattet sind. Manche (viele?) müssen sich ihre Sanitäts-Kits selbst kaufen etc. pp.
Dazu (von Mai d. J. - IStories ist ein russisch-investigatives Medium):

Zitat:“Better Get a Minor Wound — No One Will Help You”https://istories.media/en/stories/2023/0...-help-you/
A Russian military paramedic talks with IStories about poor medical training in the Russian army and what are the most dangerous wounds in the war with Ukraine [...]
The head of the training center for tactical medicine of the Kalashnikov Concern Artem Katulin said in an interview with the pro-Kremlin RIA Novosti news agency that more than half of the Russian military died in the war with Ukraine not from life-threatening wounds, but because of improper medical care given to them. More than a third of the amputations, according to Katulin, were due to improper tourniquet applying. He also denied the likelihood of the Ukrainian military using narcotics to improve soldiers' effectiveness on the battlefield. [...]
Speaking about the army, in my ten years [of service], combat paramedics gave us full comprehensive training four times. But they only trained paramedics. As for the regular training in the army... Twice a year in the army there are classes where the paramedic shows us how to apply a splint from improvised means and how to apply bandages. And at the last class I attended, the paramedic didn't bandage properly. That is, the man himself does not know how to do it, and teaches others incorrectly. [...]
“My medical kit was bought out of my own money” [...]
Army first-aid kits — don’t get me started. What we were given on the front line was an ancient Soviet emergency bandage kit (although the Soviet one was still good, but the Russian one was crap) and an Esmarch tourniquet. That's the rubbery red shit being in the talcum powder for years. Soldiers were given this stuff plus one tube of Promedol [narcotic painkiller]. [...]
Many people die not because they are killed, but because they are not properly treated. [...]
There is a red zone [the epicenter of the fight], a yellow zone [defensive fighting positions], and a green zone [from where the wounded can be transferred to a field hospital]. The red zone is where you could be directly wounded. And if you are seriously wounded and cannot help yourself, no one can help you in that zone. Few paramedics will stick their necks out there to get you out. [...]
And a lot also depends on the weather, on the time of year, where and how the wound was sustained, how long the person will be transported. So there's no such thing as putting on a tourniquet and that's it, a person can walk around with it indefinitely. There are a million techniques on how to help, but the problem is that people just don't know the base.
