Setting aside the nonsense about Soviet tactics, this article is very revealing. (www.telegraph.co.uk)

Turns out that cheap and reliable weapons that Russia is able to pump out in mass quantities work a lot better than fancy artisanally produced NATO weapons.

I'd argue the fabled Ukrainian offensive of 2023 definitively proved that NATO tactics do not work. NATO meticulously planned the whole thing, and it results in utter debacle.

What I find really funny is that Russia built layers and layers of defence because they were really concerned about the offensive and nato's ukrops didn't even get to the first heavily defended line much less past it. The first half of the offensive everyone was sitting around saying "probing attacks" and then it slowly sunk in that that was as serious as things were going to get. There were probably some Russian generals losing their hair for months because every moment they were expecting the hammer to drop and it never did.

It was absolutely incredible to watch, and couple that with the fact that NATO knew exactly what these defenses looked like, where they were, and had the opportunity to plan the attack on their terms. This has to be the single biggest humiliation in modern warfare history.
