Building 1 big bomb as a one off is different to maintaining a massive fleet of rockets which are kept in silos all across the country ready to be launched at a moments notice. It is a massive logistical task which Russia appears to struggle with.

I dunno who knows. No one thought Russia would fare so poorly but they had some bad luck. Russian nuclear forces are all on trucks mostly and rail way system. They moved them all the time during Cold War.

When you invade a nation you try to take the airport first. Get the airport then you can bring in everything you need by plane. Its how USA operates.

When there paratroopers landed in Ukraine they were slaughtered and driven off into the woods. That gave no cover for the legion of tanks they sent. USA probably tipped them off.

During Iraq war M1 Tanks rolling with Apache and Fighter jet coverage and a boat load of troops. Russia did not have any of that.

Popular Science has a good article recently how Ukraine might of taken out there flagship Naval Vessal. The day it was sunk was unusal weather that allowed there surface to sea missles radar see about 60 miles. Its why that ship was that far. There radar system could normally only see 40 miles.
