Wu Dahui, a former military researcher now at Tsinghua University in Beijing talks about how the lack of infantry(and manpower overall) affected russian operations in Ukraine. Surely some people in China will argue that despite the focus of the modernization of the PLA being more directed to the navy and air force, the Ukrainian war supports the case that countries still needs large armies comprised not only of personnel reserves but also of equipments to replace losses.

Are western countries drawing similar lessons? What are your thoughts?
