The russian military has proven to be quite adaptable. From WW2 up to Syria. Compare how badly they did in Afghanistan and Chechnya 1 vs Chechnya 2 and now Syria. Look how quickly they destroyed Georgia, how quickly they took Crimea. It's like comparing 1940-1942 Soviet Red Army to 1945 Soviet Red army.Funny, even pro-Putin Russian army veterans/military experts says other things. They say that Ukranian army, Russian army, armies of Baltic countries - it's all the same. Commanders, generals, experts - it's the people who served in Soviet army, graduated from Soviet military academies, they fought together in Afghanistan. They say that Ukranian army is not worse than our (Russian) army - it's the same army, which uses same tricks and tactics.
I'm not saying they are as good as NATO troops but they are getting much better at modern warfare.
