From what I understand Russia really does have extremely powerful defenses. They've got an enormous amount of artillery and apparently unlimted number of shells for it, and since the Ukrainians are apparently mostly down to unsupported light infantry, ie cannon fodder, the Russians have just been letting them move in to prepared kill zones, wiping them out, rinse, repeat.
The us hasn't been in a real pitched battle since vietnam afaik. The closest thing was Fallujah 20 years ago and that was mostly just a turkey shoot. They surrounded Fallujah with heavy weapons and just unloaded in to the city until nothing was moving.

And the Ukrainians are being trained by the US, and the training is shit
