Military history is useful because it can help you see through the fog of war. Especially fog created by stupid propaganda. Take the war in Ukraine. Here's some useful metrics and comparisons to the Six-Day War and American advances in Iraq for perspective.

Even as Russia's core problem remains. Also, consider: Total Russian soldiers killed or missing in the First Chechen War, which lasted for 625 days and is widely considered to have gone badly: 5,732. Given the data in the link above regarding overall success, one might strongly doubt reports of "6,000 Russian dead" and similar nonsense.
