The last drawn out proxy war with the West didn't end very well for the Soviets. The Ukraine war is already many times more costly.
Remember too, those tactics during WW2 were on the backdrop of a brutal fight for survival where it was easy for most of the population to see they had no choice but to fight. Not a Special Military Operation against a weaker enemy.
