These are just a few examples, but there have been many other instances. too many to list here.SNIP

Sigh. And how many of those were at a grinding stalemate?

Dien Bien Phu featured French troops stuck in a valley and surrounded, cut off from support.
The 6 Day War. Were you aware the IAF struck first, and wiped out Egypt's air force on the first day?
Many of your other examples feature terrain as an advantage for the smaller force.

Tell me. Are the Ukrainians defending hilly terrain, Switzerland-style?

Jeez already.
