Reply To: Russia is losing the war in Ukraine

One major problem with the Russian military , that dates back to to the Soviets, is the lack of non commissioned officers.
In the US Army., nco’s ( sergeants and corporals ) are trained to recognize when circumstances affect their orders and to make adjustments on the fly. When Russian advances stall, only senior officers can make changes. This requires them to get close to the front and has already led to a number of generals being killed.
