How The Putin Wave Could Spell Disaster for Russia

Putin's invasion did not go according to plan. After 10 months of war in Ukraine, Russia failed to take any of the country's major cities and suffered staggering losses, with estimates of nearly 100,000 people killed.

To make up for his huge losses, Putin announced the partial mobilization of more than 300,000 Russian conscripts in September. The move was intended to dramatically increase the fighting strength of the Russian infantry, but the results were disappointing.

Now, in an effort to avoid an even more humiliating defeat, Putin and his top generals have adopted a "man wave" strategy – one that could spell disaster for Russia.

But why? The answer has a lot to do with Russia's military history and Putin's many problems since invading Ukraine.
