Russia's professional corps has been largely decimated. But even at the onset of the war, the reservists were woefully undertrained. Even Russia is majority underdeveloped, just like Chechnya and the -stans.

I graduated USAFA, and flew military for 7. Training to 'reserve' level is maintaining a proficiency, at best. Unless one's full time, it's not training to expertise. Then drag them off to a strange theatre with no support, and we wouldn't do much better. And now they're down to conscripted reservists. Those 'morons' had perfectly good, and probably productive lives (disregarding released convicts here) before impressment into service.

Unless they're personally war criming, I'd like to kill them with the respect they would have deserved, if not impressed. Discounting them as morons has the danger of hubris.
