The little dinosaurs are the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had a much larger fighting force than Nazi Germany, and the Soviet military strategy was to throw men into the blender and overwhelm the Nazis with sheer numbers. Additionally, it was the Soviets who captured Berlin, thus taking Germany out of WW2.
The whole "USSR strategy is to send wave after wave until the meat grinder is clogged" is an exaggeration. There were times when their logistics were shit, but if anyone is attempting to downplay the effectiveness of Marshal Zhukov then they are either ignorant or bad faith
First of all, Russia is not the USSR, they are not the same entity. Both Ukraine and Russia were part of it. Second, Russian military tactics have been heavily dependent on artillery and small teams of ground forces. Completely different tactics
It's kind of funny how much the role of Ukraine is downplayed in the day-to-day administration of the Soviet Union, both by Russian nationalists who seek to spread the same lie you believe in and by Ukrainian nationalists who feel like they have to rewrite history to build an identity for themselves.
Russian tactics were to bottle up civilians in Stalingrad and use them as human shields to draw the Nazis into urban warfare. Seems pretty bad faith to gloss over the largest battle in the whole war.
