  1. The much vaunted Wagner Group, the ones who thought attacking US forces in Syria was a smart idea, is mostly made up of middle aged men whose military training was some twenty years ago when they were conscripts in the Russian army. Most of them come from little villages where jobs are scarce and they are desperate for work. The leader of the Sparta Battalion mercenaries is dead. Last I read about the Chechens sent to Ukraine was that they ended up behind Russian lines and would not fight. And having seen what happened to the Russian the Belarusians decided to stay at home. And it turns out that the best of the best of the Russian army, the 331st Guards Airborne Regiment, was defeated by local troops and reservists. That battle claimed the life of the regimental commander Colonel Sergey Sukharev. So far for Russia this invasion has not been a roaring success.

  3.  @USS-SNAKE-ISLAND  That's because it has been a long slow decline. If it had happened suddenly we would have all noticed. If you looked at video of them bombing in Syria they only used dumb bombs. There are claims these were left over from WW2. They showed some footage claiming they were dropping smart bombs and they hit the target. They actually missed the target and were using dumb bombs.

  5.  @Sekir80  It's what their now dead commander said of them. Reflects badly on the rest of the Russian army.
