I would say overall they have improved a lot more than previously. As you say, Russia has technology but doesn't seem to have mastered and trained it's soldiers in the best practices of war fighting (Not like I know any better). I would say 95% of countries are like this. But Russia and Ukraine will walk away from this war one day with probably the most experienced militaries in the world, with enormous standing armies, like the Red Army 1946.Russia not only don't have motivation , don't knew about the technique of war and what to do with the technology so their technology here is also useless the motivation is on kiev , the technology is the same , the law of physics is on Russia side
I think he means resilient in the context of tolerating losses.Don't know about not being resilient. I mean you look at U.S. history in warfare and see how long the wars or conflicts been going on.
Loosing 12 marines in Kabul caused huge media noise in the US, while for many countries that is just a regular week. US not willing to attack its enemies because they are worried about X number of casualties when they do their projected losses. Alot of political ingrained in military decisions. I would reckon the US government is the reason Afghanistan failed in the end, not the US military. US Presidents/Government not willing to deploy lots of soldiers and risk loosing soldiers in order to completely defeat the Taliban. Not just pushing them away from major roads but wide sweeping operations through the mountains.
Instead the "war" if you can call it that, was mostly just chilling in the military bases playing Xbox and doing some road patrols most of the time. US Gov was satisfied with this status
