You ever seen Enemy at the Gates? The opening scene where they're killing soldiers for jumping off boats and then giving every other soldier a gun, with the next ammo. Sending them into a slaughter of machine gun fire and shooting anyone who returns...
Just always been the Russian military. Unprepared, poorly trained, ill equipped and sent into a slaughterhouse is just how they operate. Always has been. If they can't win by throwing a mass of bodies at it and brutality it's not happening.
It's fairly well known they can't do logistics for shit either. They do everything by train. If there's no railroad tracks and they completely fall apart. Even to win WW2 they were shipped thousand of US jeeps, trucks and food. They've never been able to supply an army properly.
Sorry to bust your bubble, but those scenes are not historically correct.
Exactly what happened in the scene, obviously not. The sentiment and ethos is though.
