What scholars? Granted, Russia’s offensive strategy after Stalingrad emphasized deep drives through German lines, but heavy artillery barrages and massive attack formations were how the initial breakthroughs were usually obtained and resistant objectives overwhelmed. More than most armies, the Russians seem to embrace attritional warfare.

Attrition realities and human waves canards

I agree the Russians use a grind approach more than most in the west

As far as folks discounting today notions of Russians using human waves anyone can google it and find plenty of articles

https://www.google.com/search?q=russians+did+not+use+humam+waves+in+wwii&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS1000US1000&oq=russians+did+not+use+humam+waves+in+wwii&aqs=chrome..69i57.18649j0j7&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

None of this stops western media from accusing Russia of human wave attacks now

Frankly right now I believe Ukraine conscription practices are reaching a level of desperation and unsavoriness exceeding anything the Russians are doing troop deployment wise
