Zero surprise Russia can only exert force by air w/a 70% conscript army, especially when u consider its army’s design:
Conscripted Soldiers (Serve 1 Year)
-paid less than $25 a month (much less since ruble collapse)
-receive 3-4 months of basic training
-serve for only a year, during which they are often victimized by their own officers, who often violently haze young recruits
-Many receive MREs that expired years ago and insufficient ammunition
Contracted Soldiers (3-Year Service)
-Paid $1,100 per month
-Receive roughly 3x more training
-enjoy many opportunities for
corruption
including siphoning off conscript pay
-Are given better equipment
Russian Supply Lines Were Designed to Fail:
The corrosive effects of the divide between conscript and contract soldier are multiplied by the army’s design, especially in Logistics & Transportations (the most important aspect of armed conflict without doubt).
The most critical logistics units (fuel, ammo & food shipments) are heavily staffed by poorly trained conscripts.
Incompetency and low morale in these critical units has a snowball effect, crippling front-line units. Most of the tanks, AVs, etc. destroyed were already abandoned after both or either getting lost and running out of fuel.
The reason six Russian generals have already died is because they are finding it necessary to fight on or at least be near the front lines to threaten punishment to get their men to do anything. Meanwhile, Ukrainians are used to fighting and will defend their homes until death.”
