Replacing “multifront war” with “outdated military equipment”

Replacing “diseases” with “a multifront war”

Changing “lack of alliances” to “diplomatic failures”

Changing “lack of infrastructure” to “backward military”

Answer 1

Replacing “multifront war” with “outdated military equipment.”

Reason: Russia’s defeat is more accurately attributed to backward arms, tactics, and logistics than to fighting on many fronts; “outdated military equipment” is a more specific, supported cause.
