I was quite generous in giving credit to multiple theater wins which could be construed as separate wars such assigning multiple ww2 and aftermath related wins and wins against revolts where a foreign power intervened against Russia as well as to conflicts Russia barely participated in and were won overwhelmingly by allies. By the same standards Russia seems to have lost 19 wars and had unfavorable results mixed with some lesser favorable results in 19 more.
That doesn't sound like a War Gods military record to me.

You're right that the attacks have been largely ineffective (the rockets were shot down), but many of the ones that have made it through have killed scores of civilians.
