la source de @dedefensa est RT.com, je cherche une source moins, disons…, marquée ; c’est difficile car la plupart des médias ne mentionnent pas le cadre de ces déclarations (un forum du Defense Writers Group à Washington).

Ukraine’s 2-year-old fight to hold off a Russian invasion force is providing an object lesson in how modern war is waged against a dangerous adversary, and the U.S. Army’s top officials say they are paying close attention.
The problem, strategists say, is that Russia’s military is also learning on the battlefield. It is adjusting tactics while churning out a ready supply of weapons and ammunition.
