"Combat experience is very limited": the Polish edition spoke about the rotation of the commanders of the RF Armed Forces in Syria

Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Tuesday announced that a large number of commanders of the Russian Armed Forces have gained military experience through their participation in the Syrian campaign. Thus, Moscow does not hide the fact that it views Syria as a training ground for its own armed forces.

This is noted in the Polish edition of Defense24, commenting on the words of the head of the Russian Federation about over 85% of the representatives of the high command who have gained combat experience in the SAR. It was received by the overwhelming majority of the commanders of large Russian military formations and regiments.

Moscow believes that this should have a beneficial effect on the work of the headquarters and command personnel of the Russian armed forces, including with their participation in exercises and during major maneuvers.

Russians have long been using the planned rotation of personnel in Syria for educational purposes

- indicated in the publication.

At the same time, it is emphasized that the military strives to pass through the SAR as many officers and teachers from military educational institutions as possible, since, based on the acquired combat experience, they must include new technological, tactical and operational solutions in the educational process.

The problem lies in mass rotation, as the actual combat experience of some commanders may be very limited. Moreover, the Syrian conflict is characterized by great asymmetry between the belligerents. Consequently, it is impossible to fully transfer the experience, for example, to the activities of the priority Western Military District

- conclude in the publication Defense24.

Oh yeah! The Poles, of course, are the largest military experts and, of course, know better than the Russians themselves whether the experience of military operations in Syria is useful for the Russian military!

[mojohed2012]

Why, they have been in Afghanistan from the USA all these years of "occupation". As well as the United States killed civilians, not counting. But, what is their combat experience? Protection of poppy fields and drug delivery routes with drug laboratories to the northern borders of Afghanistan by analogy with the United States plundering Syria for oil, escorting convoys of oil tankers from ISIS and other proxy Turks towards Iraq and Turkey?

The conversation is not about taking over Poland. Talk about rolling out on occasion, if they rock the boat. They are behind NATO, something very greyhound. And so then yes, nafig they fell.

And the war in Iraq, in which the Poles "tested" their own and mainly on the civilian population, is not characterized by asymmetry? Who would teach military science in a real way, but not the Poles. Soon the Balts and the Georgians will begin to talk about the wrong approach of the RF Ministry of Defense to the development of combat experience. Warriors are shitty (vegetable).

Who would teach? All recent American and NATO wars are "humanitarian" bombings of an admittedly weak enemy. The same cannot be said about the ground operation against the ISIS. It is clear that the main load was borne by the Syrian army, but without Russian special forces and air support, nothing would have come of them. It remains to recall the fashionable trends in the Western armies, with regards to gender equality (such as women in combat units), the obligatory presence of various kinds of rainbow, transgender and other "fighting homosexuals" in the units. And such things, the army does not strengthen in any way. So, the comrades are on the right course, and the Russian army will follow its own.

Interesting ... I have always believed that it is better to have 100% specialists with little real experience than 10% with the maximum and 90% with zero.

Under the USSR, in order to get an asterisk, it was necessary to go through Afghanistan, but on the other hand, the officers there turned out to be not parquet generals, as it is now

[Ruslan Sulima]

Well, in general, then

This is how I imagine this conversation, in 1945
- Yes, you directed the wedge in the wrong direction, it was necessary like this!
- But who should have, you?
- Yes, you do not understand, here you could destroy me faster!
- Why didn't you break me?
- Yes, I could not ...
The cartoon reminds the Dog and the Wolf "Yes, I .. this ... Yes, I understand, this is the job."

[ODERVIT]

This is a statement for the sake of a statement.

[Bez 310]

Yes, there is a reason in the reasoning of the Poles.
Indeed, the experience acquired by our military is very specific, and I do not think that this experience would be useful in the event of a conflict with "civilized" armies. In principle, everyone knows about this, but they prefer to pretend that this is the way to learn military science. But it is known that a war with a "primitive" enemy gives a primitive experience, and it is criminal to extend this experience to the entire Army, as it leads to simplification.
This is my personal opinion, and it will not necessarily coincide with the opinion of most of the commentators, although I have not read their opinion yet. But I think that I am not mistaken ...

[carstorm 11]

You just need to understand what kind of experience we are talking about))) The senior officers gain experience of rapid implementation in the management system. That will give them in a future war, when receiving a new appointment, not to spend months for this. Ability to plan in a combat situation. It has no price. The Poles were too simple in their attitude to the analysis and this is very in vain. In addition, the middle command staff will learn to understand otvtlstvo in a combat situation at their level. This rotation is the best thing you can think of for any officer. Any level. Even such a trifle as the realization that you may well die in a combat situation changes a lot in your head. Everyone knows that. But to realize this in reality is fundamentally different.

[Andrey Krasnoyarsky]

Even such combat experience is much more useful and valuable than the experience gained in theatrical exercises, where they are at war with a cardboard enemy.

[orionvitt]

Quote: Bez 310

I do not think that this experience would be useful in the event of a conflict with "civilized" armies

The conflict with "civilized armies" threatens an all-out nuclear war. What experience can be learned from the nuclear ashes, I do not know. But the Strategic Missile Forces, just in case, are always on duty. Even if, hypothetically, a future war will do without nuclear weapons, then in this case there are other types of troops. Starting from air defense, tank and motorized infantry divisions, ending with aerospace forces and all sorts of subunits such as electronic warfare. Many things. Where there are trained commanders who are aware of what types of weapons are in service with Western countries, and how to deal with them. Already where where, but in the army there are no bad ones. That is, it can and is of course (as elsewhere), but there are only a few of them.

Who's lying here? Did you get up on the wrong foot? Or they sat down on their own wave, but it is impossible to jump off the wave? You directly wrote that I was allegedly mistaken in saying that sometimes there are incompetent commanders in the army, of whom there are only a few (an insignificant minority). If I am wrong, then in your opinion they are the majority. What's wrong then? Stop hysteria.

Yeah ... Exactly, - "criminally" ... Especially, if you do not remember that behind the backs of the "uncivilized" (including the public from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, by the way) loom US, British, Turkish, etc. instructors. Just those who teach their wards to conduct military operations ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE, against a completely civilized Russian army. And if we forget that in Syria, the Russian command contingent gains real experience of combat planning, combat, interspecific interaction at the tactical and operational-tactical level and real experience of using new models of domestic weapons and military equipment in combat conditions. By the way, it is not the armies that are "in conflict" (that is, they are fighting ...), but the states or their coalitions. And for the development of methods, the choice of means and skills of disruption of THEIR already hostile to Russia, "civilized" military plans and intentions, to Syria, it is certainly not required to "go" at all. It is quite enough to regularly monitor the development of their military infrastructure and military activity near the Russian borders so that a potential "battlefield" ("if something happens" ...), IMMEDIATELY, becomes not Russia, but the historical habitats of all kinds of Polish and other "civilized analysts. "...

It is clear that a long line of contract soldiers, military officers has formed

And it's clear that the rotations are short. Otherwise, there won't be enough space for everyone in the queue.
Plus, another medal for participation in hostilities.

Experience of action in any combat situation, even if it is insignificant, is better than its absence in non-combat districts.

How much could our commanders have before their Agromous tobacco (the Supreme Commander spoke about them when he spoke about sherkhan tobacco?) Combat experience.

Something psheki zazhralis, apparently the US wanted more attention. Well, this is temporary, and so, usually always, sixes always get musals from the owner in case of failure.

[Lisiy Prapor]

Well, at least kill me, I don't understand. Well, okay, weapons, reliability check, there, something else, I don’t know - not an expert. But (IMHO) hostilities against an enemy who have neither air defense, nor air force, nor any large formations, with tanks there and so on, for the experience of commanders - yes, it's not about anything at all. Yes, the hostilities against Georgia gave the army more useful experience than this 6-year fuss in Syria. More like an excuse about the benefits of being in the SAR.

[isv000]

Our experience is enough for pshek ...

[decimalegio]

Out-of-area operations improve logistic units, joint capabilities and, obviously, infantry units actually participating in hostilities. But if shifts are short and during this period you have no fights, what is your experience ??? Another problem is that there are many units (e.g. gunners) that are used as infantry to the detriment of special training.

[isv000]

We have the genetic experience of defending our land, protecting civilians, but in practice, our army constantly hones its skills in exercises and in hot spots - again to protect civilians from the actions of all sorts of striped coalitions. The territories of the Voronezh and Rostov regions should be well reflected in your genetic memory, there is very good black soil now ...

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The artillerymen are not used as infantrymen, they have never done this in Russia, they are not doing it, and they are not going to do it. Artillery is used to support infantry units, but never instead.

[decimalegio]

I don't know how artillery works in Russia. But the general principle is this: the field shooter is first and foremost a shooter. Now in Italy, field artillery units (not self-propelled guns) of paratroopers and alpine troops are used as riflemen due to the change of missions abroad. The country where you go, the habits that you will find

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

I'm completely at a loss. This is impossible even to imagine in the armed forces of Russia or the former USSR. At most a gunner can be assigned as a gunner. Artillery is used only for its intended purpose. It can be trained, but never used as a motorized rifle.

[decimalegio]

If you ask Paratrooper Gunner Folgor who he is, he will answer that he is first a Paratrooper and then a Gunner.

[Black cowl]

The Pole cannot understand that the very presence in a combat situation is already combat experience, and the ability of a commander to make the right decision in these conditions cannot be acquired in any tactical training.

[isv000]

The Psheks didn't even have time to wake up when the war ended in Karabakh and our checkpoints were set up in key areas. This is for them to note, about the speed of deployment of our units on the territory of a potential enemy ...

[grafskayapristan]

Or maybe even the Romanians or Bulgarians ask how and where Russia to practice its lump. structure. You may not respect yourself, but humiliating the Russians is at least indecent.

[isv000]

It is their lot - to whine from behind the fence - there is no decency there ...

[Remo]

I agree that combat experience is not quite full-fledged. But not for everyone. Take, for example, the MTR, for them, I believe, there is simply an invaluable experience that can be applied in any war. And the air defense !!!? A reliable echeloned defense has been built on the Khmeimim base and it does not fail. I also think helicopter pilots get a good experience. But from the pilots of the aircraft, in my opinion, range experience is acquired, which is not entirely full-fledged, but the skills of using various types of weapons are invaluable to the pilots. Well, you yourself know about the logisticians.

[Zaurbek]

On the one hand, yes ... on the other, they interact with the MTR (and this is communications and new ammunition, etc.)

[isv000]

Utilization of ammunition, again, than to spend money on landfills, it is better to throw off the bearded on a turban ...

[Zaurbek]

Some of the forces of this experience "above the roof", someone learns to interact ...

[Hiller]

Yes, there is more than enough combat experience among the pshek ... And ours are learning ... and flyers, and air defense, and sailors, and logisticians, and techies. and signalmen, and REbovtsy. The headquarters plan and the commanders execute.

[Synoid]

Poles scare themselves.
They calm themselves down.

[Russian soldier]

Yes, most of the commanders and commanders (chiefs) of all levels adequately assess the experience of the SAR, for the ZSN there is, in fact, the experience of commanding a combined-arms war in the Donbass. at the tactical level, there is much that has already been worked out for a long time. At the operational, operational-strategic level, the RF Armed Forces "recalled" the experience of conducting hostilities abroad. the most important thing is that with a small force of up to 8-10 thousand soldiers and officers they were able to win the war in a single country. Those. our country can pull 2-3 conflicts of the SAR type at the same time. This is the main experience.
