Other than the Wagner, I'd question the ability of Russians during the winter. All the photos and videos I have seen of Russian positions always look poorly maintained, ie: garbage everywhere which speaks to ill-disciplined troops. Well disciplined troops ensure their lines are well maintained and police garbage and other ####. Leaving garbage everywhere is lazy and a reflection of those troops.
Winter Warfare, in my experience requires a high level of discipline to just stay alive, never mind fight.
I question the simple Ivan's ability to stay alive let alone fight in a -20 situation.
Winter Warfare drains the morale quickly.
Let's hope some Ivans die in the cold.
