>You think they are stupid and don't know any better

The entire invasion demonstrates massive tactical & strategic incompetence, which is only possible when you're a mafia state.

>it's just the nature of modern war (from ww2 where AFV were used) that you are going to suffer high losses

Russia planned to roll in and take Kyiv. They appeared to have no contingencies for this not succeeding and that's why they're taking heavy losses. On paper, they should have cut through Ukraine like a knife through hot butter.
