“Poorly trained conscripts and lousy logistics don’t bode well for any army trying to mount an invasion.”
That is exactly 1/3 of the Russian armed forces.
And that 1/3 are the boy “scouts” sent in advance to reconnoiter hot spots on the main thoroughfares. They are in the old equipment too.
The pros with the new fancy equipment are not yet engaged.
Yep, the majority of tanks destroyed by the Ukrainians are T-72s. A very few T-90s have appeared as destroyed or damaged. But they give the Ukrainians time to train, set traps, and gain experience. I believe that Putin thought the Ukrainians would not have mounted do effective of a defense and would have run out of anti tank and anti aircraft by now.
