Warhammer 40000 lore stated that average imperial guardsman life expectancy on battlefield is 15 hours, and this is considered a meme based on books PoV being in really shit situations like being in the middle of tyranid invasion.

CIA propaganda is worse than grimdark meme.

Unfortunately they're probably doing that thing where they take one case (say for example maybe they had one month or several where many Russian troops had been killed) and then using math to extrapolate it to four and a half years.

I don't think it's even that, it's probably pure projection based on reports from the heaviest fights in entire war, that is last phase of Bakhmut battle, where one US mercenary reported that fresh Ukrainian reinforcements last around 4 hours. And since that part of the battle was just basically AFU sending people into cauldron while Russians surrounding the town and raining incredible amount of artillery shells on everything inside i would imagine Russian losses were much lighter. CIA just cranked it up to eleven and released it with close to zero thinking. Remember that lately their propaganda became so ridiculous that even Zaluzhny had publicly said that "Russia is not losing".
