I was more tired than I thought when I posted that. You are correct when you say that the mobilized troops are in for some tough sledding and will have many disadvantages. I'm just saying that a lot of these posts sound like the "aggy will go 5 and 7 this year" posts on the football threads. They are supported and informed by the authors' wishes more than reality. How the majority of the press ganged troops will respond is hard to know. Their society is very different from ours, with different goals and expectations. It is entirely logical to believe that they will mutiny, and that may well be the end result of this experiment in stupidity, but there is no way to know how rapidly that will happen. Planning based on the hopes that the Russians will collapse easily is unwise. That's what the Russians thought about Ukraine, and here we are.
Russia is sending men to war with severely inadequate training, old equipment that has not been maintained and is in short supply, and is stripping labor from strategically vital industries, further complicating the resupply issues. They will be under trained, under equipped, under fed, have poor morale, and be poorly led. They will not succeed in the end. But they are throwing so many bodies forward that it will have an effect just from the inertia of the act. We don't know where or how they will be used. Putin may be thinking of attacking from the north again, forcing Ukraine to realign forces to meet them. As has been pointed out, does Ukraine have enough bullets to kill them or enough resources to hold them as prisoners?
I guess I'm saying that I think that there's a lot that can still go Russia's way, and we need to keep realistic expectations.
