You're thinking like a westerner as are so many other armchair generals. Russia military doctrine has more tolerance for loosing people and equipment if that helps achieve their end goal.
- stale2002 4y agoBut you understand that there isn't some end goal that doing this failed offensive helps right? As in, they could have just not done a failed attack on the capital, and instead focused their troops on other regions to achieve some other goal. However many resources they sacrificed on that attack could have been sacrificed elsewhere more effectively, which shows pretty clearly that this specific failed offensive wasn't some success and instead was a failed offensive that they had to back off on.
