So the Russians are the only ones who e successfully done it?
Of course weapons change and alter strategy and results at times
Guess time will tell…
Point to a time when anyone has ever “seized” Crimea from the Russians? Well, it took the original nazi Army of around 200k men, complete with hundreds of warplanes and the largest land artillery in human history an entire 10 months to just take Sevastopol.
And then there is the Crimean War. Light Brigade and all that. An attacking force of 675,000 staggered to a sort of “win” after two and a half years.....Basically a bloody disaster fought to a standstill after 2 and a half years.
And that was before the defenders had tactical nukes. Ukraine doesn’t have the ability that I can see.
