Definitely not an expert on war, but this can be true for the following reasons:
- there’s a video of some broken machinery that looks so janky and old on the inside. So they might have sent old equipment first.
- there’s a video of much newer and larger equipment already en route.
- Chechen soldiers who might be more experienced in urban war (because of Chechnya war) being sent over.
- videos of many captured soldiers show very young and scared boys. Definitely didn’t ooze “professional army” attitude
- jotm 5y agoIt is more likely that the Russian military is just that bad. And the best stuff is kept for home defense at all times. There is more equipment en route... It's not better, but it's way more of it. A classic tactic from a country and people who haven't waged a massive war in decades. The thing is, Ukraine is not standing still, they're getting better every day, too.
