Well, it depends on the doctrine. When you use a T tank with western doctrine (survivability>number) you have to prop them up massively. And then they become even harder to service and use than any western tank.
They used similar tactics to everyone in WWII. The human wave thing was partly derived from the accounts of ex-Nazis who were sore losers, AskHistorians had an answer about it. I don’t know about Afghanistan, but that was a different kind of war.
Now, yeah. And it’s going about as well as you’d expect.

Yeah, I thought the doctrine was “crunch all you want, we’ll make more”
Same as with Russian soldiers now

That was always the case, the Russians behave like they grow soldiers like potatoes.
Russia likes to coerce other people’s potatoes into being cannon fodder too.
