@gabrielesvelto @anderspuck Russia has been moving the crews of its Navy, in many cases, clear across the continent, to die in Ukraine. They have also been doing ridiculous things, such as using drone pilots and tank crews as storm infantry.
In a very real sense, they are burning through expertise and borrowing from units they have no obvious plans to rebuild anytime soon.
People talk about increased Russian military spending, as if that means proportionately more troops, weapons, etc. Not so.
