... are correct--those 30 officers are of high tactical and operational level. They, obviously, are not very good at what they do because Russians buried in Kursk 70,000 of VSU (and their helpers). Those 30 have two options: surrender or be killed by, highly likely, VSU. Who needs singing birds. Atrocities in Kursk and elsewhere are also the on NATO. Per French nuclear "umbrella" (LOL), it must be reminded constantly that deterrence of 1980s and deterrence of 2020s are very different things because ABM (NATO has ONLY strategic ballistic missiles) becomes an organic part of deterrence and, obviously, ASTER-30 missiles are useless against modern delivery means such as Avangard, Zircon, Kinzhal, Oreshnik and Iskander, while NO NATO country, the US included, has any capability which can even touch S-500, 550 family and A-235 Nudol. No grandiose statements can solve this problem for the combined (increasingly fractured) West.
