Russians, Ukrainians, Chechens, Georgians, Azeris, Armenians or Afghanis? I pick Ukraine simply because they not only hammered Russia, but also because with the Afghanis, they relied mostly on the landscape, because it is a fricking nightmare fighting under those conditions. Ukraine doesn't have any of that and they stopped a full-fledged Russian invasion despite being on flat Eurasian steppe land - the first time Russia ever got defeated for reasons other than climate (which the Chechens and Afghanis rely heavily on). They're that damn good to where they can go without any logistics whatsoever while under siege in a bombed out fricking city and win in just strategy alone.

Ukraine was the workhorse of the USSR in military and industrial terms.
They've become the perfect Slavic warriors thanks to this conflict.
They've been good for a long time. The main issue is that their old Soviet system held them back. training from NATO allows them to reach their potential since they are more eager to learn.
There has been talk of Belarus getting involved, but that wouldn't add nothing to the fight because even their own special forces are not as trained. They literally relied on Russia just for some people protesting the election.
Russia's main contribution to defusing those protests were the information war they launched.
They really are masters at that sort of thing.
Belarus getting involved would be suicide because Belarus right now is politically unstable. Luka is essentially like saddam when it comes to his military being the only reason he hasn't been outted yet. Not to mention the poor state of the belarusian military. All they are good for is simply being meatshields.
Plus if Luka doesn't get involved, he can always claim, "Hey, I was forced to do it! Russia's army was too strong for us to say no to letting Russia use our territory as a staging ground."
Well, I don't care how pro-Russia you are, you've got to admit that the number of Russian casualties is much higher than any war they've fought EVER. Esp Afghanistan that lasted a decade. They killed more than even they did. Already Russia and Ukraine both lost 100,000 troops so far and we're not even 1 fricking year into it. That is how intense the fighting is that it confused even military analysts, given how within the first says of the invasion warned that Kyiv would fall within 48 hours. That didn't happen. Then they're trying to say this conflict will last quite a long time in some frozen conflict scenario until they reach a stalemate, and already Wagner's capabilities are wearing thin due to a lack of supplies since the fighting died down during early January. Even Russia's best fighters were annihilated despite being the 2nd buggest military on Earth and a country with more land than any other tp where it's the size of a fricking continent.
>Afghan are bloody minded but not coherent, Georgians, Azeri, Armenii are all just iterations on slav peasants with an admixture of the dregs of Turcomen, barely worth talking about
Well, to be fair, Azeris destroyed the Armenians over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict back in 2020 and destroyed all of Armenia's Russian T-series tanks, which is quite impressive in itself given how those very same tanks were one of NATO's biggest nightmares of all.
An adaptive yet fanatically determined Slavic enemy baffles the Vatnik. They're too used to viewing their world as "Russia Vs West". They are not prepared for a Slav vs Slav war.
these comparisons are impossible to make
Historically it was always the Ukrainians, the area was essentially a Medieval Wild West for hundreds of years, and anyone moving there went in as a desperado, merc, bandit, or adventurer. Over centuries many different types of people moved in, from Vikings to Mongols to Turks, Persians and Africans (and the last of the Circassians) and more, that they began to adopt a style and manner of dress and the iconic topknot hair dressing to identify as what we now called Cossacks. They became a semi-nomadic horse people like the Comanche in America but thanks to close proximity to both European politics and the fabulous wealth of Asia were able to retain a high level of cultural sophistication and social coherence.
some of the original "diversity is our strength" types, if you will.

East Asian admixture in Georgia is negligible outside of Kakheti and northern Mtskheta
I think afghans from rando villages are probably the hardest mfers just due to pure Darwinian selection pressure. Its like being forged in a mad max flavored crucible shithole.
