Russia was always going to be fighting their supply lines more than Ukrainian forces. Russia's 234,000 troops have captured 33,500 square miles in six days for a rate of .024 square miles per soldier per day.
For comparison, Israel's 264,000 troops captured 25,900 square miles during the Six Day War for a rate of .016 square miles per soldier per day. In the Invasion of Iraq, 310,000 US troops captured 169,300 square miles in 41 days for a rate of .013 square miles per soldier per day.
By what metric do you say that Russia is moving slow?
Yes, they are moving slow. Their supply lines are stuck massive traffic jams that they havent moved for hours. Massive desertion, and in the 6 day war you had an army that was nearly on par with Israel. You comparison is flawed. Try again.
Especially only now Russians got a major city in Ukraine.
I wonder if you got those numbers from those websites who swore up and down that Russian tanks were great
In war, out running your supply lines is called a good problem. It means you are winning at the fastest rate possible. As for the tanks, Russia is throwing their old stuff first as a probe. They are dominating with their third string.
Spez: And let's not forget Israel lost half it's armor in the Six Day, which is about what is expected in a rapid assault.
America nor Israel had these problems at this level. Running out of fuel, deserting soldiers, abandoning equipment and expensive tanks is not a good thing.
Not really. They are struggling with a lot of logistics problems, bad equipment, stolen equipment, desertion and more.
Will Russia win this war against Ukraine? Yes, no doubt about it. But they are not going as fast as you claim them to be going.

Okay, now talk about the real one.

Stop making excuses at the badly managed war.
lol, they've captures a quarter of the country in a week and are about to cut the country in half. Slow indeed.
I don't think it 1/4 more like 1/6 or 1/5
I do laugh seeing the turrets of those upgraded t-72s on the ground, or those abandoned vehicles all around.
Russia is showing they are not as good at war as their propaganda told us about.
