#1 Right. In Vietnam the 'FNG' (F**g New Guy) replacement would often be medevaced out before they could even remember their name. It takes time to teach combat skills and unit cohesion so this will result in a lot of Russian casualties ...unnecessary casualties.

#2 This seems more about the faction fighting between Shoigu and Prigozhin, like this, than about the war in Ukraine. Also: is there going to be a corresponding expansion of Russian logistics, or do these poor bastards just wander through the woods looking for stray chickens?

#3 Given vets in the lines like 'Cannibal', I think these poor bastards are the expansion of Russian logistics.
