Yes, the Ukrainian attack on Russia was not a conventional military operation but more of a clandestine strike—similar to how Pakistan has historically used terrorists against India. However, it was effective in delivering a psychological blow, particularly because it targeted military installations rather than civilians.They are not the same stock. Soviet military planners were much more intelligent than the current military leadership of Russia. Furthermore they had the luxury of numbers, which the current form of Russian military lack. Soviet and Russian scales are not comparable anymore. Only the nuclear backbone of the armed forces had been transplanted. Many other vital organs were forgotten in the great hurry.
Also, do not forget the Ukrainians and Russians are both slavs. Slavs know each other far better than we understand them, so a war between these brotherly people is bound to be messy, confusing and very absurd from the beginning.
Yes, Ukraine is led by a clown. But increasingly it seems Putin is indulging the clown far more than he should have. What stops Putin from decapitation of Ukrainian leadership, I know not! It perhaps may be as simple as - Russian military cannot get the job done.
These operations are not comparable. We used supersonic missiles the planning of which took 15 days and wiped out PAF runway capability in one day.
Ukranians planned a clandestine attack which took 1.5 years and used drones. If Russia wants, they can still destroy Ukraine from air. Even if Pakistan wanted, they couldn't get a jet trainer off the ground. There's a huge difference.
In response, Russia is likely to retaliate with overwhelming force, employing traditional military tactics, including ground forces and the air force. It’s also clear that Ukraine surrendered its nuclear weapons for a reason—they lunderstood that Russia would never allow them to deploy, let alone use, nuclear arms.
