From the original report (https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/special-resources/meatgrinder-russian-tactics-second-year-its-invasion-ukraine https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/special-r...):
> An overview of Russian adaptation reveals a force that is able to improve and evolve its employment of key systems. There is evidence of a centralised process for identifying shortcomings in employment and the development of mitigations. Nevertheless, much of this adaptation is reactive and is aimed at making up for serious deficiencies in Russian units. The result is a structure that becomes better over time at managing the problems it immediately faces, but also one that struggles to anticipate new threats. The conclusion therefore is that the Russian Armed Forces pose a significant challenge for the Ukrainian military on the defence. Nevertheless, if Ukraine can disrupt Russian defences and impose a dynamic situation on them, Russian units are likely to rapidly lose their coordination. Changes in the air combat environment, for example, have led rapidly to incidents of Russian fratricide.
Both sides are adapting, we'll see how this develops once the Ukrainian offensive starts.

- fabian2k 3y agoIgnoring all the other stuff, you think that a country that loses a military engagement with a much larger neighbour doesn't have any right to exist?
- chewz 3y agoUkraine is losing citizens, that do not seem to be comitted to Ukraine as a state. World community (or West) can keep an empty shell within 1990 borders but that would be very peculiar "state"..
- fabian2k 3y agoSo when civilians flee an unprovoked invasion, it justifies that invasion in your opinion as the country isn't a real country anymore because a significant part of the population fled the war? That's just insane.
- chewz 3y agoIf the citizens are not commited to their country what is the point of that country's existence? ..
- ceejayoz 3y agoIf armed assailants enter my house, I'm going out the back door and running to a neighbor's to call 911. That doesn't mean I'm "not committed" to my house, it means I'm sane.
- aPoCoMiLogin 3y agoso there should be one country on the planet, because ultimately only US has enough force to defend.. totally flawed logic
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoSo is Russia losing citizens.
- kaba0 3y agoWhat an insanely braindead take. Like, you do know what a war is, right?
- chewz 3y agoI know what the war is. But my ancestors used to stay and fight against all odds for their land and country. That's why I am still where I am...
