A part of that may have been a ground level change in russian tactics right before the start of the offensive. They massively beefed up their first line minefields. This also tied up their minelaying equipment and mine stocks and so there are fewer mines to the rear of the first lines than would be expected, even if they'd had solid logistics to feed them, which they haven't. That might also go some way to explaining why russia keeps insisting on fighting in front of it's prepared defense. The chances of an enemy being able to capitalize on a rout through 125m of mines and 500m of mines are very different. If this issue is frontwide, then the first line of russian defense would, effectively, also be the last line of russian defense.
Been alot of videos of russians trying to flee on foot getting shredded by cluster munitions lately.
