Don’t understand how the Russians seem to have been so tactically inept

It has always been about quantity rather than quality with Russia, throw bodies at it, hope the enemy shit themselves and give up, or keep piling cannon fodder to the front line until you win. 

The problem being, I think they thought Ukraine would have given up by now and a lot of Russians don't have the appetite for a war. 

The book Barbarossa describes the Russian military in the second world war. If you didn't fight, you were shot. If you got detached from your battalion you were shot as a suspected deserter, if you were captured and escaped you were shot as a potential spy. 

I don't think there is the same fear in the Russian army to refuse to fight in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian government have set up a phone line for Russians to find out if their sons have been captured, not sure how widely the phone number will be known as Twitter and Facebook have been restricted in Russia.
