Maybe they sent the conscripts as the first wave, to absorb the brunt of


the resistance. The professional soldiers, maybe, they held in reserve, hoping not to need them--they've got more training etc invested in them--but obviously ready to utilize them when and if necessary.

(this is exclusive obviously of the highly trained advance guard of paratroopers and special forces guys who went in first)

I wouldn't draw any conclusions about the Russian military's relative strength, quite yet. Hopefully I'm wrong and this is as good as they've got, but I wouldn't count on it.
