its a very dangerous logic of it worked in 2003 iraq so it must work here. i still remember articles by experts of how ukrainian thunder runs are the best thing ever.  then, on kherson front, those thunder runs didnt face 10 lpr conscripts per kilometer, but at-that-time buried and gone vdv troops, and we got nasty videos of ukrainian columns getting vaporized by artillery and ambushes.  i never saw such disconnect between real life and media narrative. once russians retreated they presented it as glorious victory, but it was probably the bloodiest campaign of this war. once battalion commander few months later openly said his unit had 100% casualty rate. and then got demoted for saying that.
