I may have exaggerated a littlie, but their draftees are not too well trained and Russia does not have too much (nonnuclear) hardware. Russian army was so disorganized, that they used to sell arms for vodka and there were scandals when soldiers in remote locations starved to death!
Russia has élite forces, which they used, but they did not do to well so far. The rest is a rubble. Logistic does not exist.
They beat Germans, because they were attacked, and Russians are always very motivated when they are defending the homeland. The cruelty of the German attack did not help Germans either. Plus, they had lot of military stuff delivered to them form the USA.
Like US kind of knows too, it is different to defend your homeland or attack somebody whom you do not really hate that much.
Look, the same Soviets who beat Germany could not beat Finland! What the difference between defense and attack means!
Look, the same Soviets who beat Germany could not beat Finland!
You forgot that the Finns had thrown off the Communist yoke and would rather die than return to it.
