History has shown that Russians are willing to take huge numbers of casualties. And, apparently that hasn’t changed. The Russian army is still poorly trained but they’re also still willing to take huge casualties. There’s an old army axiom; “God Favors The Big Battalions”. Guess we shall see if that’s still true….
And, as Stalin said, “quantity has a quality all its own”.
I believe it was Napoleon who said, “God favors the side with the best artillery.”
