What russia lacks in gear it makes up with cannon fodder and blood. This is how you last a year and a half.
Like every article and interview with Ukranians about the conditions on the battlefield make mention of the RF consistently having an exponential (sometimes 10 to 1) artillery advantage, which also doesn’t gel with the narrative of an unsupplied army on the brink of collapse
It’s not the Russians sending waves of recruits into minefields but ok
Because you think they didn’t do it when they attacked a few month ago ?
