Things are getting so dire for the Russians that they have started sending their spetznaz (Special Rapid Response Units that are the approximate equivalent of the SWAT teams in the US) to the war. But spetznaz aren’t troops. They are police. They are useless in a war.
To give a single example of what this means, the spetznaz of the Russian city of Vladimir – which hadn’t had a single casualty in 30 years according to its own data – yesterday buried its entire command. Four lieutenant colonels dead.
If that’s a good military strategy – just sending people to die as cannon fodder – what’s a bad one?
It’s another question why the families and friends of the dead officers don’t seem to have a problem with what’s happening.
