Problems are real of course. I only made light of them when comparing them to the problems of the Russian military.

They lose 200-300 paratroopers trying to deploy without any support. Their columns get destroyed because they run out of gas because the soldiers stole half of the gas and traded it for vodka and are still hungover.

One of these problems is much easier to solve than the other.

You’re right. By comparison the Russian Army is stuck in the past and is incompetent. Russia has technology, but still has a third world mentality.

“One of these problems is much easier to solve than the other.”

The is true. One concern is that almost all the incompetency is seen in the Russian troops invading from Russia itself in the north.

The southern forces from Crimea and the Donbass are not seeing the same disasters.

The worry is eventually the professionals running the southern front will be given control of the whole show.
