Who knew Russia would utilize WWI tactics of wave after wave of cannon fodder in a complete disregard of human life?

Now we know.

Russia applied the human wave attack tactics in WWII as well, and that war remains their benchmark standard.

I feel like we should've known since Russia has always waged war like this. It is shocking they're still doing it though!

In any old empire, soldier's life isn't worth much. Fortunately, most of the empires are gone by now, and hopefully Russia will follow their tracks.
