The river crossing debacle is something that is simply just unfathomable to think of how utterly stupid Russian military command is.

"Cross the river"

"Bunch up together and make a chokepoint"

"Keep going"

"Bridge destroyed? Your commanding officer has made an order! Cross the river or be shot of treason"

They do everything without proper support and every order is linear. The VDV which was their elite troops were slaughtered like cattle after being dropped in behind enemy lines with zero support early in the war

That they are still trying an offense with clearly no means of being able to sustain such an offense anymore is mind boggling.

There isn't even a battle comparable in WWII to the utter incompetence of Russia. Can't even rank the battle of Cannae from the Punic Wars as incompetence of this magnitude, Russians are basically lemmings. I mean god, this level of utter historical incompetence will be talked about centuries from now.
