So it seemed to be the case of poor quality that's hard to quantify, right? Like if you made a bunch of aerial photos of an Italian division vs a Waffen SS division in 1941 you'd probably come to a conclusion they were about equal in capabilities, and Italians themselves believed the same, while in fact that was super far from truth. Is this what you are talking about?
- actionfromafar 2y agoI think so. The Russian command likely got optimistic reports from below about their combat readiness. The UK and US had better views into the command conference rooms than their views on the quality of the force on the ground. While as @hkpack said, the Ukraine command had a good understanding of the quality of the Russian force and thus believed they wouldn't go for it. A very a tragic shit-show which could have been avoided if Ukraine had gotten the support it needed before the invasion instead of well into it.
