Even long before the war, it was clear that Russia would stand no chance in a serious conflict. It's a country of greedy and corrupt leaders, with the regular people turned to alcohol to make up for their poverty and low quality of life. For decades, even Russia's cars were remnants of the models from the 60s. Why would the military equipment be any better? As always, the only reason anything holds is that the Russians are willing to sacrifice any number of people just to win a war.
