Perhaps the most important lesson for Putin is the realization that he cannot rely on the military’s assessments of its readiness, forcing him to take a more direct role in overseeing strategic operations. Ultimately, the combination of strategic lessons and a battle-hardened force will make Russia more lethal on future battlefields.

      Nobody with a functioning brain thinks Russian army is beat to hell. Certainly not a single western military person is saying this. I guess I can see why you’d think this is the case if you’ve just been guzzling propaganda for the past two years uncritically though.

      Even more, if they’re expected to engage in another sustained campaign, who’s going to be fighting it? They can barely keep their conscription pipeline full now. Who’s going to sign up to sacrifice themselves in Meat Grinder round 2?

        Why would you go back to a two week old post just to be completely wrong about everything? 😂

          Stop lying. 3 day campaign was US general Miley fearmongering in media, no one in power in Russia ever said that. And where your head was since the “mid-2010”? Mainstream western media was constantly belittling and bashing Russian military for all that time, this only slightly changing now when the undeniable reality of Russian military bleeding “superior” ukronazi military and disarming half of NATO can’t be anymore hidden by the imperialst death machine and its lackeys like you.

    Like the Russian Baltic fleet has been battle-hardened by its contact with the ocean floor.
