Russia was overestimated before they attacked Ukraine and underestimated before the Ukrainian counterattack.
Their strength lies in being able to throw 500000 bodies at an enemy without giving a fuck, and it’s currently working.
Quantity has a quality of its own.
Russia was overestimated before they attacked Ukraine and underestimated before the Ukrainian counterattack.

Quantity has a quality of its own.
They appear to be running out of bodies, though, if these stories are any indication:
Cuba uncovers human trafficking of Cubans to fight for Russia in Ukraine
Putin speeds up a citizenship path for foreigners who enlist in the Russian military
Russia is trying to keep its army going by raising the age for military call-ups by 5 years, with some reservists able to be mobilized at 70
Not just manpower though. They were supposed to be out of weapons like two years ago and handing out old AK’s and sharing those between five guys.
Instead they seem to be resupplying and the money they’re making on gas sales to China is trucking them along.
Which means they’re most likely buying their weapons.
Of course. Many of their drones seem to come from Iran, namely the Shahed.
Recently America claimed North Korean rockets were fired on Ukraine.
The problem isn’t really what weapons they’re using but the fact that they still have weapons.
