@silafaupaulmeredith7251 Don’t give me that BS. Russia has leveled cities. It’s taking no efforts to preserve infrastructure. You’re obviously watching too much Russian TV. Russia tried to take Kiev, and it failed. It miserably failed in the north, and it’s troops had to retreat to focus on the south and east. Ukraine’s army did not originally outnumber Russia’s, and it’s still having problems arming many of them. Russia has a 10-1 artillery advantage, it’s got one of the largest navies in the world, and its army is supposedly one of the world’s best. If Russia could have taken Ukraine as you describe, it would have done it by now.
Just look at some of the problems discovered, and it’s easy to see that the Russian military is way overhyped. Despite its having the same problem in Georgia, Russia still isn’t capable of suppressing enemy air defenses (SEAD). It’s Air Force isn’t capable of achieving air superiority. It’s tanks are defenseless. It’s got poor drone striking capabilities. Its EW systems aren’t working as hyped, which actually isn’t a surprise since Russian equipment had the same problem in Azerbaijan. It’s ships can’t defend themselves. Russia’s SAMs are incapable of intercepting HIMARS. It’s got very poor secured communication channels, so much so that Russia has lost large numbers of commanding officers. It’s troops have shown to be poorly trained and equipped. It’s special forces have been ineffective. It’s missiles have a high failure rate.
Russia has failed on a grand scale. Russian trolls will say that Russia has control of around 20% of Ukraine, but much of that area was already under the control of the Russian separatists before the war began, and Russia has taken huge losses in the process. It’s not going to get any easier for Russia. It’s been dependent on US microchips for its high tech equipment, and with the sanctions in place it will be difficult for Russia to replenish its resources.
Russia has committed horrific atrocities. It’s intentionally targeting civilians, and its troops have raped, maimed, looted, tortured and murdered innocent civilians. It’s being documented for future war crimes tribunals against Russia.
