He talks pretty high on the quality of training and equipment. What got my attention was that they showed them uncensored videos from Russian-Ukraine battle, To prepare the for war, that was being said. One officer also commented that Ruskies are using only 1-2 % of their military power in this war. Food for thoughts...

Problem is, Russia won't do that. Their tactics have altered completely since the fall of the USSR. Virtually every report from the Ukr indicates that Russia uses battalion sized units, with complete defensive capabilities, including AA, armor, missile capability etc. The pentagon meet at Ft Benning concluded that the US could stand against a head to head, but not against this more recent Russian tactic. Make mental note that Bn size implies ease and swiftness of motion: if a Bn is completely outclassed, it can move quickly to avoid more confrontation. Also, if reinforcements are needed, another Bn or more can be quickly brought in.
It is also fact that, equipped as they are, this Bn tactic does not suffer the supply problems a larger army does. To wit, artillery emplacements aren't necessary, since artillery is with the Bn. It's like a swift moving tiny army with all the bells and whistles.
