Russia was strategically smart to draw Germany as far into the country as they did. And lucky at Germanys timing. But in a straight up fight, Russia would have been fucked.

Absolutely, but it was a tried and true strategy from Russia. Germany knew going into it that was going to be a problem. So, they failed to overcome these problems showing they weren't quite as great as they thought.
But anyway, my disagreement over the statement stemmed from the fact that post WWII several armies became far more powerful than Germany. The Soviet Union and, of course, the US as well as several other nuclear equipped armies.
