That how the Russians fight their wars very badly it's why I have used examples of world War II, world War once and the Crimean War of 1853 to 1856 as examples
If their where a conventional engagement between NATO and Russia the Russians would get there ass kicked
And that surprise and made people worry in the west because the Russians can not fight a proper modern war
It increases the risks in a commercial fight the Russians using nuclear weapons because if they can not protect themselves conventionally
That for them could be their last option
