The swift loss of several tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, many of them immobilized by mines or missiles from attack helicopters, has jolted Ukraine and its Western backers.

I think the problem Ukraine will be having through out the rest of this war is air support, especially if they want to continue to implement NATO-like strategies. In previous conflicts, Russia has always attempted to make up for their lack of strategic ‘finesse’ with sheer overwhelming force and sometimes copy cat tactics. I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia tries to mimic Ukraine’s more successful pages from their playbook but with more man power

I can only hope that this is not so easy for Russia on a broader scale. I think a lot of Ukraine's success comes from the motivation of the single soldiers and units. The motivation to adapt, to improve, to implement new tactics and ideas. I don't know if this motivation is really existing in so many parts of the Russian army right now. Yes, I know, a few of them are really active trying to change their ways and not all of the Russians are stupid, I just hope that the majority of them is too much of a passive grunt for this to happen. But maybe I am only coping when I am hoping that their morale and motivation is crumbling.

Ukrainians have way better morale and also more flexibility since they're not as top down as the Russians.
