I think that "first clash of two heavily-armed militaries for decades" is quite misleading here.
They always manage to make this sound like idiot Westerners are decades behind as they haven't fought a serious war for so long they have no clue. When the reality is the opposite: Their instructors don't remember how to fight trench wars 1950s style with only light infantry and very limited support... because why would they?
