Looks like the Ukrainians have dropped a U.S.-donated JDAM bomb by plane on Russian positions for the first time.

Russia has shown themselves to be wildly incompetent.
The longer the war goes on the worse it will get.
The bombs provide a new capability, which will make the war more costly.

Organizationally and tactically the opposite has been true for much of Russian history.

they lost but bounced back, even after allies invaded them during the civil war

Yeah they bounced back into a failed state run by a foreigner which was so disastrously incompetent that half their population died from famine ever year and they were unable to progress their industrial technology beyond 1940, managing to go a record 70 years before collapsing again into a failed state that’s unable to project power two feet beyond its border.
From 1916 - 1942 Russia was a dysfunctional backwater, from 1943 - 1954 they were a dysfunctional but almost developing backwater with a big army, and from 1955 - Present they’ve literally just been bluffing. Russia never recovered from getting BTFO in WWI.

this is ultra cope, under the soviets russia went from an agrarian serf state to putting men on space, doing all this while being hated and targetted by the rest of the world.
There is no feat in human history that can compare to this

Yeah they did so well that the USSR had three major multi-year famines in as many decades and collapsed less than 70 years after it was formed. Nobody’s doubting your average Ruski’s ability to copy US technology, as long as that technology is exclusively weaponry or spaceshit and not something that would result in them being a stable and functional country.
The USSR was a meme state that managed to somehow convince everyone that they were a superpower, and modern Russia is a far less relevant power, both militarily and economically (5th largest economy in 1914 and growing fast), than they were before WWI. Imagine sucking off a country whose entire upward trajectory was derailed and is now doomed to eternal stagnation and decline by Austria-Hungary of all countries lmfao.

yes USSR was such a meme state, thats why NATO was terrified of them. keep coping, the time of the US empire is coming to an end, and unlike Russia it will not bounce back

By misallocating resources to the point people were starving to death and Chernobyl happened. They didn't have the resources to sanely accomplish what they did, it was all a giant bluff.

Holodomor was the last peacetime famine russia ever experienced and the tsardom had a holodomor scale famine every decade.

I would still rate Soviets above because Russia was absolutely shambles before they took over, meanwhile Alexander had his army built for him. But I dont want to remove from Alexander's acomplishments of course

We're living in a very different world today, lol.
Russia fricked up real bad this time. They slammed into a fairly large country with 170k troops. The number required for an offensive like that was closer to 500-600k.
They lost some 2000 tanks and don't really have the ability to replace them in any decent timeframe.
They've been sanctioned to a very extreme extent.
I keep seeing people say stuff like this. The simple fact they even launched this war while being so wildly unprepared shows a serious level of delusion within the Russian government.

Pizzabro, may
@Punished_RFV2 remind you that 
@Punished_RFV2 argued this position with you for literal hours on end and you kept calling 
@Punished_RFV2 an r-slur for thinking infantry numbers mattered? And that the 200k troops Putin sent in weren’t enough b/c of 1:4 ratio in favor of Ukraine giving Ukraine insane operational breathing room over Russia? I’m glad you’ve seen the light that numbers really do matter.
It’s clear Putin did not expect Ukraine too see this as an existential death war.

Infantry numbers matter less when you have combined arms capability. Russia does not.
Either way 600k isn't a lot, infantry numbers to an extent matter. The context of our argument was me pointing out China having 12mil troops didn't matter at all.
like if America invaded Ukraine with 170k troops I imagine it'd be going much better.
Russia tried to larp as a western military and it blew up in their faces.

It’s more than combined arms; it’s complete and effective air supremacy. The US could get away with only 200k for Iraq because of mass bombings that broke Iraq into a rout quickly. Russia didn’t even attempt that and probably couldn’t have.
Also a point of mine we argued about.
What? China wasn’t even brought up????? We were talking about the flexibility infantry advantage gives.
Yes. Ukraine’s government and military would’ve been completely disconnected by a massive shock and awe bombing campaign and the US would occupy the nation within 1-2 months. With significantly more civilian casualties than what russia has done.

I pretty clearly remember saying infantry numbers didn't matter that much with combined arms but that Russia was still light, and also Russia sucks at combined arms so it was even worse.
Also Russia clearly tried, they just failed. They fired a lot of missiles in the opening few weeks, at least 700. They had bombing campaigns. They just couldn't deal with Ukrainian AA and stopped.

And yet the US still dropped as many bombs on Iraq day 1 as Russia launched in the entire first month. For a nation that needed at least 2.5-3x as many as the US dropped on Iraq too blitz.

This is more like Crimea than GPW. Russians are genetically incapable of honest dealings with each other unless their entire civilization is threatened. They're going to keep faking their national security contracts and skipping out on their service until daddy Merica gets bored and makes the zaporozhians give up the crim

Bro, you literally trust pro Russo Twitter or 5 second long telegram vids as much as he trusts this 'totally unbiased' twitter account.
So you know, you might look at a mirror first before pointing fingers.
Your sources ain't better than his..they are as legit, as if I would make posts linking to ukro ministry of defense twitter
You only like them for the same reason he does his.
They 100 percent support your own opinion on how the war is going now and how it's going to end.
So, you exhibit the same behavior as most of people here, who even actually give a shit about this war.
Stop pretending that your sources are somehow more reliable than those used by any other r-slur on this site, including the sperg who made this post.
I do see myself being the in the same boat with you three are ( mostly pizza and salv) but, I'm too lazy to put enough energy to do more than sperg in commments, instead of getting easy points from stolen cat pics and posts pooping on SRD.
Unrelated, but:
Here's a pic of top Russian soldier - comrade Pacan Terminator for you
And also made an unexpected pro russian army propaganda post check that out, it's fluffy
