The big scary Russia with all its military gloly is barely having any progress at all.
Every day I start a new thread and share the updates which strike me the most
But there's a downside to that lack of progress too.
Putin can't afford to lose this, because that woul be the end of him.
So he has started bombing our cities more heavily.
The video shows (allegedly) the "3M-54 Kalibr" missile.
Reasons why Russian army is struggling:
- Lack of motivation
Many of the captured Russian soldiers say they weren't explicitly told they're going to war with Ukraine. It was more like "just go this way" kind of order.
🇺🇦 are the opposite. Furious and highly motivated.
- Poor logistics
Army machines need gas and ammunition.
Soldiers need food.
Well, I'm seeing reports of russian machines stuck in the middle of nowhere without gas. And their hungry soldiers looting shops for something to eat.
🇺🇦 are near their homes, well supplied.
- Poor coordination
Army is not just some people with guns. It's like a "startup" with many thousands of people, that need to be coordinated in real time towards a common goal.
We see many cases of friendly fire among russian troops. That's bad communication & poor decisions.
To be fair, there have been a few cases of friendly fire among 🇺🇦 too. But overall we have MUCH better management & coordination.
That seems to be thanks to joint military training with western countries and adopting some of their tactics & methodologies.
Disclosure:
I'm obviously not a military analyst (by any stretch of imagination). But I've listened to quite a few interviews with seemingly credible people.
So I thought I'd share my takeaways and maybe that would be interesting to you folks.
Here's a good thread, which provices much more & better information than I just did:
