Ukraine Adopts Slow Approach to Counteroffensive: “Our Problem Everywhere Is the Sky”
The swift loss of several tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, many of them immobilized by mines or missiles from attack helicopters, has jolted Ukraine and its Western backers.

I think the problem Ukraine will be having through out the rest of this war is air support, especially if they want to continue to implement NATO-like strategies. In previous conflicts, Russia has always attempted to make up for their lack of strategic ‘finesse’ with sheer overwhelming force and sometimes copy cat tactics. I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia tries to mimic Ukraine’s more successful pages from their playbook but with more man power
I can only hope that this is not so easy for Russia on a broader scale. I think a lot of Ukraine's success comes from the motivation of the single soldiers and units. The motivation to adapt, to improve, to implement new tactics and ideas. I don't know if this motivation is really existing in so many parts of the Russian army right now. Yes, I know, a few of them are really active trying to change their ways and not all of the Russians are stupid, I just hope that the majority of them is too much of a passive grunt for this to happen. But maybe I am only coping when I am hoping that their morale and motivation is crumbling.
