Here's a trick - Russian Army has 1.9M of "employees". And employee is a person who gets paid. So 1.9 = office staff + more or less professional soldiers who signed the contract + officers and so on. And besides of that there's a regular army staff - these who are not getting any money, but they just HAVE to spend a year there. For free. It's not a job, or privilege, it's a duty to waste there a year of their lives.

So basically the numbers are bigger, even if we take into account these 100k left somewhere in Ukraine.

  1. a lot of the army isn't getting paid, and they aren't happy about it
  2. it really doesn't matter how many men you throw into combat if you don't have weapons or even warm clothes for them...or food.
  3. the death toll is horrific, and the Russians know it.

I don't expect this to end well for the Russians.
