Yes, it took only 190,000 in the Special Operation to hold the lines in 2022, until 300,000 could be trained in early 2023. By Janaury 2024, Russia had still only engaged approximately 340,000 men against the standing Ukrainian army of NATO training and equipment numbering 800,000 active and 400 NG/Reserves. Ukraine has trained over 900,000 men for the meat griner and they currently have an active force of 645,000 men with nothing in non-front sector reserves.

The real myth was the one of Electronic Warfare and the fact that Russians for some reason seem to have superior tactics and equpment - the USA has used everything from Starlink, NAS Satellites, the CIA, and nearly 60 allied countries to supply weapons and equipment against Russia.

Remember Russia began this war with only 380k men in their military worldwide. Today they hav 1.2m and 300k are joining the ranks after 6-months training in July, rinse and repeat 350,000 in January 2025, 300,000 in June/July 2025 and 300,000k in January 2026 brining them to a projected 2.1+M for duty in this war; not withstanding the 30,000 headed to Syria and 20,000 headed to Africa this summer.

A summer for NATO to remember.

Sure, when compared with older out of date western weapons given to Ukraine.

Name ONE superior Russian equipment as compared to the west? Tank? Plane? AA? This war has proven Russian equipment to be subpar.
