Since the start of the war, Russia has made a number of apparently bad mistakes with its troop deployments and overall tactical decisions.

With soldiers reluctant to follow orders, Russia resorts to actions that command can verify compliance with, which ultimately leads to more Russian casualties than would otherwise occur.
