Retraining officers to perform better during a war is pretty iffy. Eleven weeks to change a mindset is also pretty sketchy.
High casualty rate amongst officers might have a salutary, mind focusing effects on those who might wish their turn to not come too soon.
It very well might, in Western military organizations. But - as you’ve implied - Russian military thinking is fairly calcified. Their go-to move is to go bigger, not better.
