So what I'm hearing is...you're irregular light infantry fighting a defensive war against an opponent with combined arms and at least partial air supremacy.
This is like signing up to be a 17th-century sapper and complaining about going underground.
sapper is an alternative name for a combat engineer. combat engineers often do controlled demolitions, sabotage and the like, which happens to be what the tf2 sapper does. ergo, the tf2 sapper is named after actual sappers.
The Sapper was actually the 10th class in TF Classic, they merged his role of destroying Engineer buildings into the Spy in TF2. I guess they kept the old name as a reference
Irregular army victories aren’t uncommon, but it requires high levels of discipline and organization.
Yes, but the secret ingredient is a willingness to die for your cause. Look at Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. and you'll see horrific casualties in the irregulars. And the bazinga brigade volunteered for that.

But the media told me the Russian army can't tell a tank from a hole in the ground.
the media literally cant tell a t-72 from a bmp
Reminds me of that joke 'media gun chart' where every gun was an AK except the AK, which was an AR 15
The guys who be sapping muh sentries?
Edit: Is that really where the name of the TF2 item comes from?

Cool, TIL. So the TF2 engineer is also technically a sapper.

Yes, to this day at least in Commonwealth armies engineers are called Sappers, since they got their start building siegeworks.

do you mean to imply that random weirdos who answered an advert to go to a warzone aren't automatically skilled guerrila warfare specialists
But they were so good at CoD. Emphasis on "were".
turns out in real life getting shot doesn't mean you take a 10 min timeout
Respawn timers in this "real life" server are whack.
one guy waited 3 whole days and he's the only one to load back.
Only cause his dad works at Nintendo

Victories aren't uncommon, even with light equipment (see Vietnam). But casualties are almost always high.
