Chechnya is infinitely smaller then Ukraine or Afghanistan, with a fraction of the population, little to no industrial base, little international support, poor morale, poor infrastructure, no modern weaponry, and only one real major city.

True, but even with the war, emigration, and massive demographic shift, the population is still 43x that is Chechnya by official records. If we take the liberty of being generous and subtracting 8 million additional people, the population of Ukraine is still 35x that of Chechnya, and Afghanistan in the 1980’s would still be 12x that of Chechnya.
