In most places both sides are too evenly matched for the fighting to be anything but a tough slog, even resembling WWI more than anything else.

The biggest differentiator seems to be that the Ukrainians are willing to fight.

“In most places both sides are too evenly matched for the fighting to be anything but a tough slog, even resembling WWI more than anything else.”

We are learning a lot about what a peer-to-peer conflict looks like. It is very different than any war we have fought in the last 50 years.

Missiles negate tech. Armor is vulnerable and you can’t send your $50 million planes and $500 million ships anywhere near to the front.

That reverts the conflict to infantry and artillery.
