The image of a powerful Russian force is eroding day by day. The Russian force seems largely unprepared, inept, careless, shortcut taking and possibly inebriated. But it doesn’t end there, the higher up decisionmaking and the equipment seem to be lacking even more. The only thing keeping them up is the former USSR inertia for they still have weapons capable of making a lot of damage.
