Ukraine Tech Brawl is Comparable to W.W. 2 or Marciano vs Walcott I

The Ukraine war is something of a technical brawl comparable to the fight between Rocky Marciano (challenger) and Jersey Joe Walcott (champion) for the heavyweight title in 1952. Russia is known to be something of a military brawler; not so scientific in technique as some nations today, even so they are very skilled as was Marciano. Ukraine is strong and a quality fighter with corrupt leadership and lots of support from followers in elite western governments. Unfortunately, like Marciano v Walcott I the fight seems destined to go 13 rounds with the loss of perhaps the better part of a million lives.

Perhaps W.W. II was like the Ukraine war too; a technical brawl with many tactical approximations and tries for knockouts against relentless opponents unwilling to call themselves lemons and throw in the towel. Even if being beaten senselessly the handlers of Ukraine in Germany and elsewhere in Europe wouldn't allow their shill to retire from the conflict. Germany just decided to send another 11 billion dollars to Ukraine for military equipment next year. The fight costs Ukrainian and Russian lives rather than German.

Russian military groups advanced steadily, technically in 2025 so far, broadly across Eastern Ukraine and seems poised in 2026 to continue the slugfest advancing methodically, technically from major city to major city forming pincers and caldrons around districts sledging across a wilderness of city and landscapes comparable to a frozen ocean. The likely conclusions will be the Russian reconquista of Eastern Ukraine up to the Dnepro River. That border was the practical place to draw the border in 1990-1992-2022 negotiations and to have left it there and moved on. Europeans left to themselves would attack Eastward forever.

There are substantial differences between W.W. II and the Ukraine conflict about 80 years later obviously.  Logistics, weapons technology, communication and political configurations have changed a lot. Here is a video with more background on the German military posture compared to that of the American during World War Two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dprFSZBTVj8

One might learn something from that regarding the  military posture of the United States today with so much manufacturing having shifted offshore and the industrial base half located in China and elsewhere. Solar rechargeable electric vehicles perhaps with auxiliary fuel cells may be a sustainable mass produced military vehicle for foreign militaries that reduce cost and reliance on fuel logistics down the road. Already the rise of drones and solar-power AI drones are changing the realities of equipment that might survive mass air and ground attack from drones. Fuel supply vehicles would be especially difficult to defend making self-fueling military vehicles de rigeur in the future.
