the Soviet Union was Operation Barbarossa in 1942.

And then you fast forward 1394 days, the Soviet Red Army against the Wehrmacht and the Luftwaffe are in Berlin.

They've won.

And and if you take the same timeline, the Russians today, when they if you start that clock, when they invade in 2022 and then and they come to, you know,

1,394 days later, that's December of last month, and they are barely in Pokrovsk.

I mean, they're still a long way away, 500 kilometers away from Kiev.

I mean, it's just the Red Army was much more proficient and better during those times.

It shows you also how far the Russian military has come down.

Yeah, I think some of the technology has contributed to those high rates, but it's probably been a few other things, too.

Ukraine is on the defense.

And when you're the defender, you're digging trenches, you're laying minefields.

So that's helpful.

And it's certainly from the Ukrainian perspective and certainly not helpful from the Russian perspective.

I think also from the beginning of the war, if you think about Ukraine,

the U.S.

and the Gulf War in 1990, 91, the U.S.

was able to integrate its joint forces.

So firing from aircraft and then supporting those forward deployed tanks.

So doing fire and maneuver pretty effectively.

The Russians are just so poor at combined arms.
