An experienced US marine corps veteran provides his opinion on what is happening on the ground in Ukraine.

Summary

Ivan F. Ingraham, a Marine Corps veteran, makes the following points about the 2022-Russo-Ukraine conflict:
  • The Russians expected a short war.
  • The Russians have failed to combine their air, sea and ground forces into a joint force.
  • Russia also failed to use its special ops forces to work effectivity to disrupt Ukrainian troops from behind their lines.
  • Russian intelligence and command and control have proven inadequate.
  • They find it difficult to sustain their troops as Russian convoys are vulnerable to Ukraine attacks.
  • Russian forces are too spread out, which makes force protection very difficult.
  • Russia failed to conduct effect cyberattacks against the Ukraine prior to the invasion.
Ingraham wrote this on 10 March 2022, and the situation might have changed since then.
