If at the beginning of the Armed Forces they tried to make large-scale maneuvers along with the Airborne troops, now they use the tactics of living waves, which also have their own purpose. Russian troops demonstrated their ability to learn and adapt during the war. About it reports Major General in retired, as well as a researcher CSIS Mick Ryan.

Such tactics proved bad, the Ukrainian military was able to attack the enemy's logistics. One of these examples is the attempt of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to cross the Seversky Donets. However, the invaders are learning and adapting, Mick Ryan notes.
