There is no way a “basement” general is higher up than an armchair general.
I mean real generals sit in armchairs, not basements.
So I’d say armchair generals are basically like backseat drivers. They do all the things generals do, just aren’t touching the steering wheel.
Whereas basement general just gives me “asmon with a pirate hat” vibes.

Ukraine's battle harden troops on the roll. It must be infuriating for Putin to realize his plan of conquering Ukraine did not pan out as planned and now he's faced with bonafide invasion.
It will be a while before Russia can even organize halfway decent response as its command structure is rigid, initiatives frowned and transport logistics...hopelessly inefficient.
The best scenario I can think is Russian will be forced to use their air force but I am sure Ukraine is well prepared for such encounter.

I wonder if this is a mistake. I suspect that many Russians would be at best superficially motivated to win a war against Ukraine.
But there is nothing that unites a country behind a war effort like being invaded.
Until now, Putin has had nothing but utterly 100% pure bullshit to justify the war to his people. Now he is going to have some small justification for arguing that The Ukrainians Are Coming!
Edited to add: to be clear, obviously the Ukrainians' recent effort *is not* justification for what Putin is doing, but what I'm saying is - that's how Putin will play it. And well motivated people fight better.

Except that Ukraine is not targeting Russian civilians. There are reports they are allowing them to gather their identification and pets before evacuating. So far, to the extent possible, all indications are that the incursion is intended to disrupt Russian forces' ability to conduct operations inside Ukraine.

The Russians don't use mission-based tactics, unlike the Ukrainians. We've seen time and again that the general tendency for the Russians if they run into problems is to freeze and stay put while awaiting upper leadership to pass detailed instructions back down to them.
Basically, mission-based tactics gives subordinate leaders a clearly-defined objective, high-level details such as a timeframe, and the forces needed to accomplish that objective.
The subordinate leaders are given the freedom to decide on the methods to achieve the objective independently based upon their understanding of what needs to be accomplished, and what the resources available are. This allows a high degree of flexibility at the operational and tactical levels of command, which allows for faster decision-making on the ground and frees the higher leadership from managing the tactical details to concentrate on the strategic picture.
Basically, if the Ukrainians can run havoc in the Russian's rear, knocking out command posts, logistics and communications lines, they can effectively freeze the front line units as the front line units become leaderless; unless a senior officer comes forward to the front lines to unfuck the situation, nobody is going to take the initiative to do anything until the Russians have managed to sort things out. And by then, front line units could end up being encircled or destroyed piecemeal because nobody at the front lines is willing or capable of making a decision.

It’s safe to say, that Ukraine does not in fact have air superiority. The Russian air force is quite large and Ukraine probably hasn’t received that many F-16s yet to get their air force to pre-war numbers even.

The idea of inexhaustible Slavic hordes is an old and tired racist trope. It's not true. Russia has been facing manpower issues throughout the war, even despite having a much larger population than Ukraine. Every mobilization wave has hurt its political stability, its troop morale and its long-term economic prospects. Not to mention the inability to train and equip large numbers of new recruits. Hence the Kremlin has been hesitant to expand its mobilization efforts, despite urgent frontline needs. Russian "meatwave" tactics aren't so much a planned strategy (except maybe in cases where penal battalions were used) but a failure to properly execute the, by itself, sensible tactics dictated in Russian training manuals (reconnaissance in force, then allocating troops to wherever success is reported).

I doubt there is a logic to the attack. This is a roar of vengence, retribution in fire and blood. This is an emotional attack, after two and half years of bitterly fighting to protect, this is Ukraine letting loose their otherwise carefully tamed fury.
Don't know if its smart or helpfull in the longterm, but it is understandable. Their soldiers must be angry as fuck.

Yeh it does feel like the UA forces signed up for a one way ticket, an all or nothing strategy.
I do think with the aim to wake the fk up Russian citizens and to have putin force a new big round of mobilization that hopefully will anger the citizens even more..
For UA the only way of getting out this war, I think, if Russia changes the Regime via it's citizens (not via the kremlin of course) otherwise it will be endless...

I heard some people say to make them pull troops out of Ukraine. I also heard to flank them from behind with easy access and cut them off. Their next move probably depends on how Russia moves it troops. The longer Ukraine stays uncontested the stronger they become. It's gonna get harder and harder to remove them from their positions.

"Know Thy Enemy and Know Thyself" - To circumvent the enemy's defenses, one must first understand their disposition. Is their line rigid and inflexible? Do they rely heavily on flanks or center? Once you have discerned their weaknesses, you must assess your own strengths. Speed, stealth, or cunning? Each has its place in an end run.

Sadly rail systems are hard to truly destroy unless you can take down the entire track with a [railroad plough](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_plough). It's just too easy to rebuild a damaged section so unless you rip out the entire track it's only a minor setback
