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.
Even mainstream western media now openly admits that Russian military has gotten far stronger. Yet, here you are…
Yes, here I am, to remind you and Lemmy that mainstream western media has been fluffing the stiffy of the Russian war machine since the mid 2010s. Now we’re blindsided by Russia entering the third year of their three-day campaign to Київ ~600k troops lighter.
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.
