They’re still fighting wars by throwing wave after wave of human cannon fodder towards frontlines.

There have been some gradual changes in the last 2 years.

Mass corruption at every level causes mass incompetence

There are still people competent, willing to win a war or with some perverted understanding of patriotism. Others steal - they make do with what they have. That's not negligible.

Also mass corruption is present not only in Russia.

They’re far more rudimentary than we’ve all been told imo.

That can also be said about Israel, for example.

I think we may find out one day that complacency plus corruption have eaten not only Russian military.

Also you are doubting that Russia has launched a few sats? It's still one of the countries with expertise and ability. Nothing weird about this.
