Were tanks ever what they were still supposed to be up until this war? If not fancy tanks are not a good use of resources. Air superiority has certainly been altered beyond all recognition by the advent of the plethora of drones on and behind the battlefield . The Russian advances are basically led by and always consolidated by infantry, which are suffering terribly from little FPV drones hunting them even inside trenches and buildings. Usually when the Russians gain territory there are no houses with roofs on or intact fortifications because everything has been demolished by the Russian artillery. The short answer to the question is that a lot of Russians are being killed in these advances. However they are not staging a full mobilization so the Kremlin are accepting the losses and seem confident they can be sustained.
