Russia’s inability to push orders to the front and the rigid structure stopping units from solving local issues without the approval of higher ups is truly antiquated. As the article alludes to

no western army has faced such high fatality rates among its senior officers since 1945

there is something fishy in the state of Russia

It's an issue with authoritarian power structures. Nobody wants to be responsible for making a mistake, so no one wants to do anything without orders from higher up.
