    War Kitten Z, another Russian military blogger with 470,000 subscribers, agreed. He said that mobilised men from Moscow were sent to fight in Ukraine with only one day's training and that half of their regiment had been injured or killed after coming under artillery bombardment.
    Many sources I read also mention a considerable count of these men have deserted and surrendered to Ukraine to seek refuge due to the lack of equipment and support.

      And, just like in Vietnam, motivation is far more powerful than troop numbers or fire power. I bet there aren't that many of the regular army who actually want to be there, never mind the conscripts. Whereas, there is no lack of motivation on the Ukraine side.
      Russian regulars are almost all gone, most of remaining won’t survive this winter

          Our army, and even the reservists that were called up, are trained professionals. They could see a purpose for what they were doing.

          The Russians are calling up randoms who did military service and aren't fighting for a known purpose.

            It’s been suggested that the Russians are now using the war as a cleansing system to rid them of undesirables. Hence why units are so poorly organised and lack training and supplies.

                Yes because the Russians are a bunch of Amateurs. Beat Napoleon, Hitler & nearly the Mujahedeen.

                They are however desperate and cleaning out the prisons ala Cuba, seems like a good use for some of them.

                    Wow, you do like to go back in time to try and prove a point ... you missed the Crimean War

                    Re Napoleon..... the weather beat him. He was ill prepared.

                    Hitler beat himself. Thinking his army could fight on multiple fronts. He also didn't count on the Russians happily sacrificing millions of their own poor fighters

                    They didn't nearly beat the Afghans .... despite all the superior weapons they were humiliated. Have you not seen Rambo 3?

                      Humiliation? Don't mention the First Afghan War. .

                      Or the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th.
