Good article.
“A whole host of assumptions about the war were to be tested: the supremacy of western equipment, Russia’s paucity of reserves, the superiority of Western-Ukrainian tactical methods, the inflexibility and incompetence of Russian commanders in the defense.”
I still don’t think that Western elites have realized the full significance of Ukraine abandoning their Western vehicles, and abandoning Western tactics and training, and attacking on foot after about six weeks of catastrophic losses.
What we now know is that Western equipment is not superior, Western tactics are not superior, Western training is not superior, and Western battle field analysis and strategy is DEFINITELY not superior.
The USA/NATO military is not just a paper tiger. It is a paper polecat.
These guys are running on a bluff, and have been for decades.
I keep showing this video to people who are in denial. Which of these two artillery systems look like they come from the superior military ?

BTW, Gvozdika is two generation behind the recent Russian systems.
I’m glad someone else is pointing this out. USA has the delusion we are the advanced culture against primitive weapons, while in reality it is now rhe opposite.
I heard speculation that Russia is holding off their best weapons so we don’t know their capabilities.
