The US press has announced the "dangerous successes" of the Russian Armed Forces
The United States is closely monitoring the growing capabilities of the Russian army, its successes and failures. In particular, the Public Intelligence portal published a report by the research group of the American Ground Forces, devoted to the analysis of military operations in urban areas from 1980 to the present, where much attention was paid to Russia.
The study was carefully analyzed by American columnist Michael Peck in an article published by The National Interest.
The US press anxiously announced the "dangerous successes" of the Russian Armed Forces, which "have learned to fight in urban conditions, in conditions of dense development." Of the ten battles described in the report, three, according to the speakers, were fought by Russia. With the first two, it is clear, it describes the storming of Grozny during the First and Second Chechen Wars.
The third example looks more strange, which in Peck's article is called "the battle for Donetsk in 2014-2015". First of all, it does not quite relate to the topic of research, because here there were no street fights in the city. If it came to this, the civilian casualties in this city with a million population would most likely be in the tens of thousands.
Surely, American researchers also understand this, because they analyzed only the battles at the Donetsk airport.
True, for some reason, the Americans attributed the liberation of this strategic object from the Armed Forces to the merits of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, although on the one hand the Ukrainian army participated in the hostilities in Donbass with the support of nationalist battalions, and on the other, local militias, including there were many volunteers from Russia and some other countries. Among the latter, by the way, there were also citizens of the United States.
Earlier, the American press announced the need to reduce the gap with Russia and China in terms of the development of hypersonic weapons... Now the interest, as it turns out, is the fighting in the urban environment. And the successes of the RF Armed Forces in this regard are called “dangerous”.
