"Really bad at conducting war" is demonstrably untrue if meatwave tactics are effective.

Technological and tactical superiority can help you win a war but you're making the mistake of thinking that war is something other than what it is. Ultimately it's about how much death and chaos your population can tolerate vs the other guy. Russia habitually proves that their appetite for it is enormous.

Even when they lose it's only a few years that go by before they're waging war again.
