ehmmm... From the recent Bloomberg article I read the Russia claims ~6K dead and some unspecified western experts estimate it rather ~15K. Now USA lost ~60K in Vietnam. Sorry, that is not "as many or more". Nowhere near.

15k is still way too low based on the number of verified vehicle kills. The losses for Russia are staggering.

15k KIA mean 45k casualties. Now, this might be a bit too low: 7k funeral reported on Russian social networks when most of the armed forces aren't from areas with cheap internet access.

Russia is mobilising 300k men (and probably more) to replace 6k dead?

They are mobilising to increase presence and unit rotation along the frontline, without having to decrease their presence along their borders with other countries.
