The exercise did not use Russia as a possible origin for the Red Force, it was an unknown adversary from the Middle East. Therefore, you could have different assumptions about the rules of engagement, responses, and enemy resources. From what I understand of the exercise, it was to simulate going to war with an adversary that would fight differently because of the lack of modern military resources and hardware. I wouldn't categorize Russia in that way.
