I wouldn’t be surprised because the cauldron methodical strategy is what they have been doing the whole time.
Yep. Russia likes the “cauldron” and “artillery” methods of warfare. They are very, very good at them, too.
The USA seems to prefer air superiority and bombing people from the skies. Russia seems to like to shell people into submission with artillery, then go in and mop them up.
Still a long way to go in this conflict, but Russia has made some adjustments from the shaky early days, I think. They have a plan and are sticking with it.
