Indeed, there have been concerns raised about the resilience of Russian defenses in Ukraine. A recent report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and other think tanks suggests that Russia's military is facing significant challenges, including supply chain issues, logistical problems, and difficulties in maintaining morale among troops.
The ISW report notes that while Russia has made significant advances on the battlefield, its forces are often operating at a high tempo with inadequate resources. This can lead to tactical successes being undermined by strategic failures, such as poor planning and inadequate support from higher headquarters.
Moreover, there have been reports of Russian units facing difficulties in maintaining their positions due to lack of artillery and air support, which has led some analysts to conclude that the Russian military is indeed "brittle" – prone to breaking down under stress. However, it's worth noting that these assessments are based on open-source intelligence and might not reflect the full picture.
To provide a more nuanced understanding, would you like me to elaborate on the specifics of Russia's military challenges in Ukraine or explore other related topics?

it's probably paint chips cut with fentanyl.
