The same amount of incompetence was demonstrated during invasion of Georgia in 2008.

Never assume evil where stupidity will do.

Interesting theory and worth raising. However in this case, I think it's unlikely. From what I read, there is no set of elite soldiers waiting in the wings. There is a shortage of young men in Russia now, unlike in WW2 where there were too many. And it is estimated that Russia has deployed a significant percent of it's total available military by now. And they are having to recruit in Syria etc.
