Not saying you’re wrong but how do you come by your opinion of the Russian Army? Tweets perhaps ?
"Not saying you’re wrong but how do you come by your opinion of the Russian Army? Tweets perhaps ? I would hope you would agree that the men and women who fought in the army of Stalingrad are not fighting today. After all they are kind of old for that.
One way to assess the tactics and performance of the armies involved is to look at current video and photographs taken during battle and after battles. That's traditional battle damage assessment. There are plenty of them to look at, and they provide insight into the nature of the fighting, and the performance of the armies.
You can tie those reports and images into actual map locations using google maps, or look at other people who have done the same thing. That lets you understand the locations and movements of the forces.
For some background you can watch things like this lecture given at West Point by a US military analyst who studied the fighting in Ukraine from 2014 to 2018 when he gave the lecture.
Due to the prevalence of cameras, and the use of social media by both sides you can see for yourself what has happened in a way that has not been possible in other wars. From an intelligence point of view both sides get a lot of real time data, and they use it.
The Russians have so far failed in their objectives, and are taking losses at a high rate against an adversary that was not generally considered to be a top tier military power.
In many cases their troops seem poorly trained and unable to respond effectively in combat where videos come out.
Both sides are using precision munitions and have drone based targeting. The result is carnage among those near trucks and in armored vehicles. That is something not seen in many previous conflicts except in the recent battle between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Russian armor heavy tactics are not well suited for the environment they are in.
