First off, you need to define what a loss is.

These come to mind:

1. Destroyed in combat
2. Destroyed to prevent enemy from capturing
3. Abandoned on the battlefield (out of fuel, broken down, no crew)
4. Scrapped, recycled for metal, obsolete
5. Lost, missing (in a river-lake-swamp)

I have seen this forum before - but where does the poster take these numbers? Some book or document?
