    People who know nothing about which they speak... Compare it to WWII.

    For those who insist on making terrible analogies: you do know there's a history outside of World War II for you to draw your comparisons from, right?

    I'm curious what folks think about this. How degraded does a unit have to be to cross a threshold of being functionally unusable? Does type of unit matter, mission, skill levels? Tag anyone I missed

    I hear assessments here in DC that after two weeks up towards a quarter of 🇷🇺 military equipment in the 🇺🇦 invasion has been destroyed or disabled. I remember from my old military days that a military unit which has losses of a third is considered unusable.

    In the past 2 weeks, many people have commented on Russia’s shockingly poor performance in its war on Ukraine. How can we make sense of Russia’s military ineffectiveness? Why were these problems not foreseen by analysts prior to the war? 🧵1/8

    Time to go back to Carl von Clausewitz. Material factors do indeed matter beyond a certain point, i.e. if odds disproportionate. But otherwise, moral factors dominate. The problem is that in this war its the hardest to report on because we get only glimpses of Russian side. 2/2

    If you work on military power and effectiveness and you don't consciously push back against the hyper-inflation of tech's potential, your doing it wrong! How many tech "revolution" have we had since the '90s? I've lost count.

    It's early days, but I wonder if the war is going to shift our focus in security studies away from tech & weapons (AI, drones, robots, "hybrid war") toward morale, logistics, & internal workings of armies, including inequalities in the ranks (yes, I'm biased here).

    Slippery slope is a logical fallacy. "Russia’s War in Ukraine Doesn’t Presage a Chinese Assault on Taiwan."

    I asked people what accounts they know are covering the Ukraine war the best... This is the list they came up with. It's a combination of OSINT generalists and Russia/Ukraine military experts. Hope it's useful! Avoid disinformation.

    Pretty shocking admission from the Kremlin. If this is the level they’re admitting, the real number is much higher

    The situation might change in the near future. But for now we should try to think in a more fuzzy way. Maps like this one, showing directions of operations of Russian forces are more useful. And they deny Putin's illusion of full territorial control. 11/

    It looks like the Battle of is about to begin. When I wrote my study on urban warfare last year, pessimistic though I was, I never imagined that the next battle might be so close or so terrible.

    The annoying part about being a high quality expert is people need you to keep writing more. Glad was able to write this piece, high quality.

    Updated comparison between same-scale maps of 72 hours into the Iraq War and ~60 hours into the Russian invasion of Ukraine (per ). Once again, the acquired Russian territory (minus Crimea & eastern bits) is comparable to what the coalition had occupied by then.
