The Abrams is probably a Cadillac,so to speak, in comparison.
Just the soft excesses of our western anglo-saxon capitalist pig bitch society.
The Abrams was very comfortable for the drive, just if the halon system went off and you weren't fast enough out the hatch or the gunner didn't turn the turret you were fucked.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s top independent radio station has been shut and a leading independent TV station has suspended its operations as Russian authorities stepped up efforts to stifle criticism of the country's invasion of Ukraine. Ekho Moskvy (the Echo of Moscow), has been one of the most influential and respected media outlets in the country ever since it was founded in 1990. The station was taken off the air over its failure to toe the Kremlin’s official line while covering the invasion of Ukraine that began on Feb. 24. On Thursday, the station’s board of directors — which is controlled by its majority owner, a media arm of Russia’s state-controlled natural gas giant Gazprom — declared Ekho Moskvy closed.

Not So Scary: This Is Why Russia's Military Is a Paper Tiger
While Moscow’s military adventure in Syria shows that its forces have improved markedly since their near collapse in the mid-1990s, Russian military forces still have many weaknesses. While select portions of the Russian military—most notably the Strategic Missile Forces, airborne forces and...

More than that.I could see if they were playing against the pros. You dont stop your convoy on the road for four days during an attack. You dont just forget to bring diesel. You dont let the enemy have communications and internet. You dont send your troops in until the sky is clear.
This is basic stuff. You think the Russians dont know this? Is that what your saying? They cant read? they dont study? They cant do math? or accounting? Thats absurd.
They re not as good as advertised Illl give you that. but nobody forgets the basics. I dont buy it for a minute.

Russia has started to move to a professional force, but the transition will take time to complete. (2015) Only about a quarter of Russian ground forces are fully staffed, well-trained professional troops. Those professional soldiers—who are not quite trained to Western standards—are part of a corps of rapid reaction forces. The Russians have also taken steps to overhaul training and professional military education, based on a Western model. They have also made many organizational changes—the Kremlin cut the military’s bloated headquarters staff, command and control was streamlined and logistics have been improved. Further, many old Soviet-era division-sized formations were cut and reformed into fully staffed combat brigades that are similar in concept to a U.S. Army brigade combat team. But the reforms are incomplete and will remain so for years to come—especially as Russia’s economy continues to face massive challenges thanks to low oil prices and sanctions.

Ukrainians should just let them have it. At least you can turn it back on later if you win. But if its broken, everybody has problems
and if the Russians break it, what are they going to do ? Evacuate their troops?
