@bachophile interesting indeed. One common theme throughout this entire war has been the utter incompetence of the Russian military. Everything from strategy, tactics to supplies has been a boondoggle.
Is the Russian army really that incompetent?
Reading these threads makes it sound like the Ukrainians are master strategists, but I wonder if these recent successes are simply because the Russians are so bad.
If they are so bad, how did that happen?

Well...Iran will not recognize annexation.
The Spokesperson of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Nasser Kanaani, in response to journalists’ question regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran’s position on holding a referandum in Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions in Ukraine and the annexation of the regions to Russia, emphasized, “The Islamic Republic of Iran, as always and based on its principled positions, emphasizes the necessity of fully observing the principle of territorial integrity of countries as a fundamental rule of international law and respecting the principles and goals of the United Nations Charter.”

Posted the other day about an autonomous robotic armored vehicle the U.S. Army is currently testing. It's a tracked vehicle designed to keep up with and protect armored columns from drones.
Measure/Counter-measure.

If this is their beefed-up professional army under Putin, it is difficult to imagine their nukes being much better. 31 years after the USSR collapsed.
I guess the question Putin has to ask himself is 'Do I feel lucky?'.
Well do ya, punk?

Hard to win a war with an army that doesn't want to fight it.

I'll say it again - this has gone so spectacularly bad for Putin that it is quite imaginable that this is what we wanted all along. There's a whole lot of advanced military strategic and tactical thinking going into Ukraine.

I get it that Putin is giving Kadyrov a chance to put up or shut up. Still it shows the Russian public that Putin is scraping the barrel:

On the other hand maybe he’ll be deployed to the front where he will ingloriously die by way of a targeted Ukrainian drone or artillery ordinance. Either way I hope he dies “not well”.

He's been beating on the Chechens since he was prime minister.
