So they didn't teach this at Russia's military academies?

This little bit from the Ukrainian Army details a bit of how the Ukrainian Army quickly forced a Russian retreat in Kharkiv Oblast.  More or less, it's the same kind of blitzkrieg that the Germans inflicted on the Russians at Tannenberg in 1914, and again on the Soviet Union in World War Two.  It's also about the same tactics that Russia's army used to plague Austria-Hungary in World War One.

Pretty ominous that the military academies of Russia don't appear to be teaching this.  Even more ominously, the new conscripts for Russia's army are being issued summer uniforms.  Haven't they ever read Tolstoy?
