Why Ukraine's undersized military is resisting supposedly superior Russian forces
[AlAhram] Before Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, many observers looked at Russia's overwhelming combat power and thought Russia would achieve a quick victory.Because Russia has a US$62 billion defence budget and holds numerical advantages in weapon systems such as tanks, artillery, attack helicopters and planes, many analysts asked not whether Russia would win but rather how quickly it would do so. What these observers and less experienced analysts are not taking into account is that wartime performance is influenced by more than how weapon systems function.
