>Russia have thrown everything they have at Ukraine over the last year-and-a-half. I don't believe that's the case. Russian military doctrine has always been to reserve the best systems for the end-game, and front 'fodder' in the beginning stages of things. I see Russia's war theatre manifest also in Syria, where the very same tactics are utilized to suppress the field. "Shock and Awe" is a US doctrine. Russian is more "Shake and Hold". "Massively overestimating themselves/underestimating themselves", is very difficult to contextualize, if you don't actually speak Russian. >The cupboard is empty. I'm sorry, I really don't agree.

Russian military doctrine has always been to reserve the best systems for the end-game, and front 'fodder' in the beginning stages of things. This still doesn't explain the BMP-T's, the T90's and S300's that are deployed to Ukraine and destroyed in Ukraine. >>The cupboard is empty. > I'm sorry, I really don't agree.

The world is not entirely as it "seems". If the cupboard isn't empty then why are there ~80 smoldering T62's in Ukraine.
