With little to no tradition of competent NCO leadership, Russian officers take on a tactical role more similar to the middle enlisted ranks in Western militaries. Often placing themselves at the center of the action to better control their forces, they are often the only men in their formations with night vision and communications equipment.

Despite a tradition of rape-based discipline that Western observers might characterize as counterproductive, the Russian officer corps has managed to adapt to changing circumstances over recent conflicts, decentralizing their leadership somewhat and making use of emerging technology where resources and higher leadership permit.
