I'm going off history when a much larger and better equipped Soviet Union Army went after Finland and the the Russians were turned into frozen corpses.
The Russian Army today has had their equipment degraded due to war and sanctions. They are having to use T55's essentially as direct fire gun platforms not tanks due to age to use their ammo due to their own ammo shortages. Meanwhile,
Finland has free access to buy arms. We've already seen what a determined opponent could do to Russians with flat open and indefensible terrain, now see what happens with the Fins that have highly defensible terrain.
During the Winter War, the Fins had 340K troops vs Russian 760K troops. Final results 26K dead Fins to 168K dead Russians. For every dead Fin, the Russians lost 6.5.
Tactically Russia is clownshoes. They can't fight, they are bloody incompetent. You can watch ambush after ambush of a Russian armored convoy and they get devastated. They don't dispatch their mounted infantry and have them aggress the ambushers. They sit there and lose a fair bit before they can get out of the kill zone. Herringbone anyone? Their logistics was non-existent and their graft for military spending is believed to be 66% going to graft which is why Russia fell on their face. Ukraine has a much higher kill rate to loss than they should and its due again to Russian incompetence. They have no NCO core and they lack the ability to operate a modern combined combat arms combat force. They are having to rely on artillery strikes to slowly move up, meaning whatever land they capture, it's going to have little strategic value after being leveled.
No, the Russians aren't the end all be all. They are down now to using T55's as mobile gun batteries to launch 1940's era HE shell's down range.
Now, give Russia 5 to 10 years to rebuild after the graft has been uprooted preferably by public executions and for them to adopt Western tactics and drop Warsaw pact they might be able to do something.
Remember Iraq, they were a solid warsaw pact nation for tactics and they were destroyed. You can look at Israel US doctrine vs arabs Warsaw pact doctrine and time after time they got wiped the fuck out.
Have you compared the size between Ukraine and Russia? Ukraine should have been steamrolled by Russia in under a month, they've held out for over a year now. The only reason they have is due to the gross incompetence and graft prevalent in the Russian Army. Calling them troon level of incompetency would be a complement.
The dumb fucking Russian tankers get aggressed and rather than charge they back the fuck up. Oh, into freshly laid FASCAM behind the tanks tearing them up.
Russian training and tactics are fucking abysmal. The only reason Ukraine isn't captured is due to Russian blatant incompetence.
