Russia isn’t using their top equipment in Ukraine. They are saving it in case NATO gets involved. Also this is information warfare. The actual assessment means nothing.
Yes we all know they sent the JV team to Ukraine and the varsity is back training in Moscow. /s
Their “not-top” equipment has a 60% failure rate?!?
Do tell, I’m dying to hear about the great Russian equipment being held back.
You are correct. This is trap to pull NATO into the fight. That ant Putin was expecting a 4 day war. Just like Hitler, his thinking was to just kick in the door and the whole house of cards will fall. His use of T-72s is pretty sly. Get rid of the old inventory first along with B and C ground units.
His biggest mistake, besides invading, is to conduct a winter campaign. Like Hitler, his forces are going to be stuck in the spring mud with the coming rain. How any Russian an forget this is beyond me.
Are the duds marked “military targets only” and the other 40% marked “schools, hospitals and nuclear installations only”? According to the reports I read here, the only destruction the Russians are capable of inflicting with missiles is at schools, hospitals and WMD facilities.
