There is no army in the world which can fight in the traditional sense. The reasons are quite apparent. The average conscript is used to modern day convenience and wars thrust a totally different scenario. However much they train, it is of no consequence when actual war happens. The Western nations are becoming more sedentary in their outlook. The equipment they create is quite complicated and reliability in trying circumstances is dubious. Quick thinking on your feet is required but the average stupidity in the populace is increasing day by day. Given such reality almost every army whether it is Nato, West, Russia, China, etc will fare pretty badly in "actual war". The gaussian average works and the lower end is mostly at play. The Anglo-saxon clan is very good at messing up anything in the world, just look at history. Increasingly they are becoming more cowardly and more stupid.

A reminder that we are currently accepting submissions for our second quarter 2023 Call for Articles. The central theme of this series concerns what lessons can be learned from the ongoing war in #Ukraine both at the tactical and strategic levels of war.
BRF is still ahead of the curve.

"The biggest lesson that Indian armed forces can draw from the war in Ukraine is that they should not depend on supplies of weapons and military hardware from foreign countries:" CDS Gen Anil Chauhan

And in doing so, shattered the dreams of AUKUSI of the other two :D
Note the very last statement of Gen Chauhan for the question that stumped Matis.
