Why it sucks to be on the receiving end of a Javelin Anti-tank missile (hint: You see your end approaching):

Friend-of-the-Unit Kyle Lupien tallied this up for us and posted it in the comments of this TFA 07-17 footage, it's really illuminating:

Write up of Approximate Number of Enemy Forces Faced by Task Force Alpha Durring This Assault
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                           OPFOR Forces (PRNA)
(Comprised of Latest Military Gear and Training From China)
2x SU-25 Frogfoots
1x MI-24G Hind Gunship
+/- 4x T-80A Main Battle Tanks
+/- 3x BMP-2 Infantry Fighting Vehicles
+/- 1 Battalion of Infantry (Garrisoned)
+/- 1 Company of OPFOR Special Forces
+/- 1 Battalion of Mechanized/Motorized Infantry
3x Podnos 80MM Mortar Tubes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                            INDEPENDENT Forces (MOSN)
(Comprised of Surplus Soviet Era Equipment and some Training from Russia)
1x L-39 Albatros Jet Trainer (With rocket pods)
3x T-72B MAin Battle Tanks (Surplus 1984)
+/- 2x BTR 60/70 Armored Personnel Carriers (Surplus 1980s)
+/- 2x BMP-2 Infantry Fighting Vehicles (Surplus 1984)
1x ZSU 23/4 Shilka Self Propelled AAA
+/- 3 Battalions of Enemy Infantry (Assaulting)
+/- 1 Company of Special Forces/Recon Infantry (Scouting/Assaulting)
+/- 1 Battalion of Motorized Infantry (Assaulting)
3x Podnos 80mm Mortar Tubes

Biggest blow to the enemy goes to First Lieutenant Barba of the 74th with his 2000 pound JDAM strike on the main compound, killing a majority of the garrisoned infantry aswell as a few officers and their SF entourage and leveling the entire building on top of their heads.  This strike also destroyed the ICBMs and their launchers Task Force Alpha was set out to secure.

Biggest blow to friendly ESAF forces was the combined might of PRNA and MOSN mortars which ended up dropping 2/3rds of the task force in one devastating blow, luckily the task force recovered and saw minimal KIA.

All PRNA forces are presumed KIA in the assault, a majority of them being killed or taken prisoner by MOSN forces as they hit PRNA positions while they were already engaged with friendly ESAF forces

So the total amount of OPFOR KIAs would be...

2 Frogfoot pilots + 2 Hind pilots + 1 Albatros pilot + 21 MBT crewmen + 15 BMP crewmen + 6 BTR crewmen + 3 Shilka crewmen ~700 Garrisoned Infantry (1 battalion) + ~350 Special Forces/Recon Infantry (2 companies) + ~1400 Motorized Infantry (2 battalions) + 6 Mortar gunners = around 2506 OPFOR KIAs.

Unless ArmA 3 counts their unit sizes differently or my knowledge is incorrect, that is just a ridiculous number.
