Hard to unlearn 20 years of "modern warfare experience" fighting such advanced adversaries that are professionally trained in goat herding and farming. You know those Taliban uses AK47s, that's basically fighting the Russian conscript right? Since they use Russian guns.
When they lose to the Taliban with the heaviest weapon being a Toyota pickup, how did you think they were going to do vs professional Russians with artillery and air support?
What Russian air support? Russian air force won't operate behind enemy even when Ukrainian SAM coverage isn't anywhere near perfect nor are they opposed by any large air corce flying western planes.
We've seen how professional Russian military is doing and it can barely hold it's own against Ukrainian military whats mostly not professional.
