Russia has taken to chemically lowering its soldiers' inhibitions to guarantee these ill-trained civilians and convicts continue to fight no matter the odds in the ongoing war in Ukraine, according to a UK defense think tank.

You see, killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down.

That's pretty much always been Russia's strategy...

They just hope their enemies run out of bullets

They did start the war using Zapp's "Element of Surprise" tactic. In Futurama, Zapp explained that the key to victory was the element of surprise. Then he yelled surprise, opened a trap door, and dumped his soldiers into an active battle zone.

Russia, told their soldiers that they were just doing patrols until they had crossed into Ukrainians territory. Then, they let the troops know that they were actually in a war (or whatever nicety they called it early on). "Surprise! You're getting shot at now!"
