I heard that it is Russian strategy to send their worst troops and equipment in first, to use those up before sending in their better forces. Apparently it is a strategy that was used in the Soviet era, and Putin and much of the Russian government are former Soviet officials themselves. However I don't know if that's actually their current strategy, or if they really are militarily weak.

Might as well get one last use out of those tanks and useless soldiers, rather than just junk/discharge them at home. It makes economic sense.
