The major difference between the American and old Soviet army was the fact that Americans were all volunteers- motivated, professional, exquisitely trained and equipped. I had the chance to see the Russian military up close and it was full of drunks(officers and men) and full of people who wanted to be somewhere else. Their competency was questionable, equipment alway broken, their NCOs almost useless and the officers treated their men like cattle.

So the T-14 are finally being brought in. Not to do tanky McTankface stuff but as fire support from the back.
Keep in mind, they took out T-62s and T-54/55s out of storage first. The T-14 is apparently so bad and such an embarrassment that they waited till after the archaic gear was taken out of storage before they resorted to risking them in the front line for a face plant.
Bravo <sarcastic clapping>
And before anyone goes but brah they are using up their old gear first, I believe Puren [spelling?] did a study of tank losses showing their early loses were more weighted towards their newer tanks showing that they were not holding back their newest shit but actually sending the best they had [and the T-14 aint' it]
Clown shoes.

Good thread on Russian strategy.
Meat was of great value in the ranks, but they treated their men like farm animals.
It's always the same. The Czarist army in the Crimean War or 1914. The Putin army in Ukraine.
LOL!!! You got to know Russians. It's a cultural thing that no amount of Marxist Leninism could overcome. I asked a Soviet Major at a seaside resort about their lack of consideration for soldiers' lives. His answer? Ludey u nas mnogo- we have a lot of people. The wonders of classless society. ROTFLMFAO!
People from oppressed societies tend to be like that.
Its the same reason why the middle east is cruel too. Or many African nations.
Hurt people, hurt people.
Maybe that story/rumour about how Russians clear land mines in WW II is true. Apparently, they used POW's but when POW's aren't readily available ...........................
They actually were contrary to popular belief. The Mongols waged war, but they really operated by letting other kingdoms thrive, but under their umbrella.

"We Simply Don't Have The Ammo" - Polish General Says Can No Longer Supply Ukraine, Warns Russia Has Resources To Continue War
Via Remix News,
Speaking at a strategy session of the National Security Bureau, the Polish Armed Forces chief of staff General Rajmund Andrzejczak said that when he analyzes the war in Ukraine politically, he is pessimistic.
This is, he explained, because “there is nothing that indicates that Russia will lack the resources to continue the conflict.”
He said during the session that he did not feel sanctions would stop Russia from having the funds to continue the war.
The general also offered a bleak assessment of Poland’s ability to send ammunition to Ukraine.
He noted that he was tirelessly presenting such an analysis in order to raise awareness.
He continued his remarks by saying that “war is not the business of soldiers.”
It is rather “a question of politics with economic factors involving finance, infrastructure, technology, food, and a range of other problems that you have to figure into the equation to be able to understand it.”
Gen. Andrzejczak observed that “Ukraine is experiencing huge financial problems,” despite the huge aid packages it was receiving from the U.S., the West and Poland.
Gen. Andrzejczak told the National Security Bureau that he regarded the security situation facing Poland as highly dangerous. Asked if the leaders of the West appreciated how far Ukraine is from winning the war with Russia, he opined that “an honest assessment of the threats was still both a surprise and a shock for most of them.”
The general also said there was no indication that Ukrainians who fled their country would return home to start reconstruction, adding that he felt that the NATO summit in Vilnius will be “a summit to define our credibility, of NATO, and the whole of the West.”
If the response was “late” and lacking in determination, then Ukraine would have no chance of a secure future
PS. Mainstream media now showing their lies about Ukraine winning the war or Russia running out of amino … it just like the lies on IRAQ war justification likE IRAQ leader had WMD ! Ukrainian as a nation is finished when your younger demographic population fled from war and those ( western Ukrainian who fled Ukraine to EU or eastern Ukrainian to Russia) . They will never comeback !! Ukraine as a country will no longer exist!
PPS. Wonder if folks in the Ukraine think how much better off their country would be today if:
There was no 2014 coup
They still abided by the Minsk Accords and remained neutral
They never let NATO advisors in the country
They never shelled the Donbas
