The Soviet Deep Battle doctrine was focused on hitting the enemy through the *depth* of the battle line

It starts with your usual combined arms line trying to break through the enemy’s line, but keeps fast mobile troops in reserve. As soon as a gap opens in the enemy line the fast troops go screaming through the gap and deep into the enemy’s lines where there are fewer defenses and they can start picking off supply routes and disrupting communications to the front.

Wars are won and lost through logistics. You don’t need to be able to beat every soldier they have coming at you if you can punch a small hole through the line and break up their logistics then the attacking army will grind to a halt no matter how many soldiers they have.
