    There was an article a few days ago about how the soldiers stopped following some of their western training as it wasn’t working / appropriate for their situation.

    I imagine there will also be some cross training where they update the American soldiers on what worked and didn’t work and why.

      From what I heard that seemed to be mainly two factors where the situations were different than most conflicts the Western forces have been in in a good while.

      1. Lack of air support. The air is still contested over Ukraine.

      2. Minefields everywhere
