The Russian Ministry of Defence has been notoriously protective of data on the casualties suffered during Vladimir Putin's "special military operation" in Ukraine. The Kremlin has not provided a reliable update on the number of Russian soldiers killed in the conflict since March, when authorities reported more than 1,300 fatalities in the early weeks of the invasion.
Dr Patrick Bury, a senior lecturer in security at the University of Bath, spoke to the Express.co.uk to discuss some of the methods Moscow's military leaders have used to disguise the true level of casualties sustained in the war.
Dr Bury told the Daily Express: "The Russian army have mobile incinerators. Only a percentage of the casualties that are killed come back."
He added: "I have also read first hand accounts that said when a Russian soldier is reported killed, the unit still posts them as missing.
"One, they don't have to count it as a casualty and, two, the family don't get paid the bounty which would be due for a dead relative."
President Putin has declared families of Russia's National Guard who are killed in Ukraine will receive a payment of five million roubles, roughly equivalent to £79,000.
