How the war will end is unclear for now, but Russia's military and strategic errors so far have shocked experts, says an observer.

The first issue that became quickly apparent was the poor performance of Russia’s armed forces. There has been, at times, a complete lack of logistical support for Russia’s forces on the front lines – bogging down the Russian advance and at times completely stalling it.

Russia had a significant amount of time to prepare for its invasion and move logistical support into place, with Even communication between Russian units on the ground is being transmitted in the open, leading to easy interceptions by Ukraine. Overall, this paints a clear picture of Russian incompetence.

Russia also has modern strike aircraft such as the Su-34 as well as long-range strategic bombers like the Tu-22, Tu-95 and Tu-160. Regardless of the reason, Russia’s lack of air superiority early in the conflict may be one of its most significant strategic errors, to the benefit of Ukrainian defenders.
