www.vice.com
Multiple sources told VICE News that NATO military officials have been surprised by both Russian incompetence in the field and the fierce Ukrainian resistance.

Onion articles are writing itself: Western Military Observers shocked that Russians are not commiting war crimes like they did in Iraq and Afghanistan. - When we were in Middle East, we started to wreck shit up, shelling with depleted uranium, bombing villages. I'm suprised that Russian are such weak bitches - retired col. said. - My men have PTSD and are homeless but at least we protected special interests of Oil Companies and the ruling class.

    I don't know if there is much of a practical difference between their T72s and newer tanks under the conditions they are fighting in right now. They aren't facing peer armor very much.

    It was old Soviet doctrine to use the older T55s and such ahead of the newer T62s, T64s , and T72s for similar reasons. So this is to be expected.
