@mgerrydoyle Certainly, you can only make so many changes when the system is wired the way it is, but fewer Russian command posts have been destroyed since mid July so they've clearly made some changes. — PolitiTweet.org

There are different explanations for why these mistakes are being made, but they indicate a very fundamental problem with Russian military leadership. The Russian military's decision-making is still very centralized but it also just makes poor decisions (or doesn't make them). — PolitiTweet.org

@JayinKyiv That is largely a political decision though. In these other cases, it was Russian military leaders who just didn't respond to obvious problems. — PolitiTweet.org

Same with HIMARS. They knew for weeks that Ukraine would receive them and their capabilities are well-known, and yet Russian forces were caught flatfooted when Ukraine started using them. Their lack of a response to the Ukrainian buildup in Kharkiv is part of a pattern. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the Russian military's biggest weaknesses is that it is slow to respond to changes on the battlefield. Once Kyiv received Harpoons and long-range artillery, it was clear that Russia's position on Snake Island was unsustainable, but they waited and took unnecessary losses. — PolitiTweet.org

@shashj Fair enough, though the Ukrainian military published a number of videos showing soldiers using pick up trucks and buggies and ATVs. It seemed as though that was pretty well-known. — PolitiTweet.org
