Yep, and what more is that Russians had a year to dig in with anti-tank defenses, but once those are gone or penetrated, then Russian are very well and truly screwed. They're not well trained, they lacked resources, they are running on old technologies, and there are 3 or more warlords having contentions with each others. Soldiers that could have racked up experience in the fighting wouldn't be given the choice to fight another day, because of the barrier troop that would shoot them if they retreat.
I think once the defensive lines are gone, we'll see something similar to a Thunder Run by America during the battle of Iraq.
