Here’s an interesting video on Russia and a plausible explanation on why they are performing so badly. In essence, they did not build a military to do this particular job. They invested heavily in prestige projects that can play no part in Ukraine, like submarines and nuclear tipped missiles. The presenter has so very well-founded views. Worth your time.

We count Russian equipment but leave 80 billion dollars worth in Afghanistan.

Excellent presentation....though one wonders if this isn’t SOP....in the best of all possible worlds.

Your personal experience in prior posts we have the same levels of wrong turns (to be polite) in systems acquistions.

He followed up, two days ago, with a presentation debunking the myth of Russia sending their cannon fodder first....
