I don't know that "losing horribly" is a fair assessment (although it went very badly for Ukraine in the beginning), especially in the last year or so, which I'd categorize as a stalemate. and, especially recently, it really seems to be turning to Ukraine's favor considering the number of reversals, advances, and victories.

edit : and the world now considers you Drone Wizards, so that's pretty cool

It doesn't turn to Ukraine's favour it's barely even turns into attack capability parity, and there is no technological moat, every innovation would be copied and implemented in a year or two. And it would be implemented with much greater numbers and cohesive doctrine.

m*scovia can ignore stalemate, it's a win condition for them. In a month or two there will be big and probably successful advances in Donetsk oblast, specifically Kostyantynivka and Kramatrosk-Slavyansk aglomeration in general.

"... and cohesive doctrine." You lost me right there buddy. Are you seeing how the Russian military conducts their operations?

I do, actually, they do it by the book. It's just the books they used earlier were outdated. When you get rubikon or judgement day within your line you are fucked. They are professional, have good communication (which we lack and can't communicate even essential shit to neighboring units), have a lot of resources.
