Except pretending it was a SMO and not declaring war ruined the war for them. It made it politically easier because they could pretend it was no big deal and they didn't draft the politically important kids from Moscow. But that meant they didn't have any infantry so you had tanks just wandering around by themselves and armored personnel carriers with only two people operating it with no persons being carried. That made them easy fodder for those thousands of javelins.
Calling it an SMO was a terrible decision and it prevented them from winning and will be the cause of their loss, when it eventually happens .
