British defence secretary Ben Wallace said a chargesheet of the Russian army’s failure, including poor battle preparation and inadequate equipment for its invasion in Ukraine, should be placed at the feet of Moscow’s General Staff of the Russian Army.
Mr Wallace’s comments came after GPS receivers were allegedly found taped to the dashboards of downed Russian SU-34s.
Calling the Russian invasion of Ukraine an “illegal war”, Mr Wallace on Monday said that Russia’s top officers failed their troops on the ground as their vehicles did not contain situational awareness and digital battle management as required.

Putin is threatening nuclear war. If I was Russia I would be scared to death the rockets would go up and land on a Russian city.

I have been starting to wonder the same thing. None of their other stuff seems to work all that well. This certainly is not going to help them with weapons sales the next few years.

..."Why did Russian pilots tape GPS to dashboard of downed Su-34?
"'GPS' receivers have been found taped to the dashboards of downed Russian Su-34s so the pilots knew where they were, due to the poor quality of their own systems," he said."
