Summary/Abstract: The large-scale invasion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine has marked the beginning of the deadliest conflict in Europe within the past decades. The Russian Armed Forces who attacked Ukraine benefitted from the whole range of their capabilities, including land artillery, AA rockets, long range precision fires (LRPF), short-range ballistic missile (SRBM), electronic warfare units and logistic and fight support structures. However, the Russian forces have generally performed poorly due to the rigid chain of command and control, lack of tactical vision and professionalism of troops, inefficient communications, low accuracy of weapons systems and inadequate logistical support, to which is added the unexpected resistance of the Ukrainian armed forces.
