The Russian Army is not structured like the Iraqi Army was.


They are largely draftees with a few regular troops in mixed units. They don't have cannon-fodder units like the Iraqis had. The key to me was the rout of the Russian paratroopers art the airport. They are the best regular soldiers Russia has with few, if any, draftees. When they got their asses kicked and ran for their lives, that was a big moment.
