"Milblogger predicts a renaissance of infantry combat in Russia's military"

Russia is increasingly relying on large infantry assault tactics in Ukraine, possibly due to widespread equipment losses and a lack of trained personnel. While some Russian milbloggers believe this strategy will lead to a "renaissance of infantry combat," others argue that it reflects heavy equipment losses and poor frontline coordination. The reliance on infantry-led assaults has increased as the conflict in Ukraine has shifted to static and attritional fighting. However, there are concerns about the effectiveness of these tactics and the ability to train a sufficient number of troops for significant advances.
