The United States warned about the new tactics of the Russian army
The National Interest publication publishes the conclusions made by experts of the American strategic research center RAND. Experts believe that, despite the Soviet past, the Russian army has changed significantly and is now developing in accordance with new realities. At the same time, a clear message is given that Russia does not intend to provoke full-scale hostilities.
Also in the publication outlines the main characteristics of the new Russian "military way". In particular, the Russian armed forces intend to use multi-level integrated air defense systems to protect vital facilities. Can also be hit weapons "extended range".
At the same time, RAND believes that tactical and strategic nuclear weapons are a serious "insurance" for Russia in a critical situation.
The National Interest writes that recent reforms have significantly increased the readiness of the Russian army. Also, American analysts conclude that Russia may be mixing conventional and non-traditional methods of warfare.
In their opinion, at the operational and tactical levels, the Russian army is likely to focus on the destruction of command and the destruction of the infrastructure to control the enemy troops. In this case, the use of cyber-electronic warfare is possible. And against the key operational and strategic objectives high-precision long-range weapons can be used. Also, the Russian army will actively use highly mobile equipment with significant firepower and shelling, reports "RG-Force"
