Sending tanks into battle without infantry and air support, good intelligence, tactics, positioning, fortifications etc. is a really bad idea though.
& que the molotov cocktail factories
meaning any occupying armoured vehicle will be set alight & the crew will burn to death
& que residential buildings being fired on by the russians
realizing 1 high building can completely devastate Armour with molotov cocktails
but who gave the order to fire on civilian homes ?
who gave the order to fire on the theater ?
the psychological warfare is as important as the armored vehicle. its only as good as those driving it & once it stops and is not defended it becomes a target
proper defense is layered all good chess players know that
when the population are against the occupying forces there is no safe ground for the occupier
sending tanks into varied terrain(urban, city & rugged) with lots of hiding spots where there is lots of RPG's & rockets is batshit crazy
the only option is complicated tactical co-ordination and they never had that.
thats a large part of the problem with a conscript force where they beast people as a normal routine.
intellectual skill is least important.
and we can see the results of it
russians pride themselves on having "hard men" military
but the hard men of war is the weapons on the battle field
and soft civlians are joining up being armed and using them on less smart hard men with no battle plan & no authority to react & think on their feet.
this is russias Vietnam
