ok then i guess it makes sense that the russians with one of the best-equipped military forces on the planet are still using cold war-era munitions in attacks that make them specifically look terrible on the world stage

1) Russians have been striking civilian infrastructure since the beginning. Nothing new.

2) Russia still likely has a shit-ton of old Soviet equipment, just like European ex-communist countries do (like Czechia where I live)

with one of the best-equipped military forces on the planet

Why did they retreat from Kyiv then, leaving hundreds and hundreds of tanks and vehicles behind?

striking civilian infrastructure during war? gasp!

kiev was not the target. Kiev was a distraction.

Ukraine should be allowed to bring their full military might to bear on our desired front because it's not fair to divide their forces

would be a pretty rarted take
