By the way, an interesting example of under-claiming.
The Ukrainian side claimed 1 shot down and 1 damaged in its first report.
 
US/NATO COMINT & HUMINT recently gave the following figures for Russian casualties:
2022 ~120,000 dead/seriously wounded
2023 ~400,000 dead/seriously wounded
2024 ~600,000 dead/seriously wounded

Losses for the North Korean forces were ~1,200 dead/seriously wounded as of 26 December.

Seriously wounded equals disabled and/or unlikely to be able to return to combat in any normal capacity.

For the Russians the killed : seriously wounded ratio has been 3 : 7, so somewhere around 336,000 dead since the beginning of the war. It is noted in the report that the dead are likely undercounted since the Russian high command began only counting as dead the bodies positively identified (this counting method began in early-2023), and due to lack of identification there are over 130,000 currently listed as MIA - despite the bodies of the majority of the MIA being in Russian possession.

Also beginning in late-2022, the Russian government began reporting (publicly) mass casualties caused by the Ukrainian strikes against the rear areas and inside Russia by dividing the actual number of dead and wounded by about 10 in the larger casualty incidents (there appears to be a sliding scale of some sort).

The source for the above is usually accurate.
