I think most of you on here live in a fantasy world. You all are about to get a rude awakening when things start to settle out. I wish it were not so but it is what it is. Russia has not engaged with their frontline troops and systems fully yet but will. This is a decapitation operation right now and has been somewhat restrained. Just pray for the Ukrainian people they are going to need it.
Except Russia has engaged with their best troops and systems. Go look up and see what units Russia deployed, and their unit histories. The 4th Tank Division and 45th Spetsnaz are first line units. The invasion has shown Russia's actual war fighting ability is far less than what their marketing hype has claimed. They are obviously dangerous and destructive to a country like Ukraine and they have nuclear weapons. They are still approaching a stalemate invading a country they should have walked over two weeks ago.
This is not the Soviet military of the History channel or the Cold War under Reagan. Zhukov is spinning in his grave over how badly the Russian army is performing.
