In what ways are the Armed Forces of Ukraine superior to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation?

220

In an article by the Ukrainian edition of Obozrevatel in the article "In what way the Armed Forces of Ukraine are superior to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: 5 main shortcomings of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and 5 advantages of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation" the author Yuri Butusov considers “the clash of two armies in a big war, that is, in the course of large-scale ground combat operations” (quotes from the source text will go in quotes and in italics - approx.). Naturally, between Russia and Ukraine.

I agree, by the way, in terms of the fact that yes, in the clash of two armies with different tactics and strategies, it makes sense to consider one’s own and other people’s strengths and weaknesses, and based on such analyzes build a vision of at least a local, at least a large-scale war.



We went to consider the Ukrainian point of view.

“Russia has both qualitative and quantitative superiority, all this should by no means be underestimated. However, the war cannot be won only by air strikes - because aviation it cannot detect and hit all suspicious objects and all targets, and cruise missiles are effective only at strategic targets, and all this does not work well if the battle takes place in urban areas, at close range, and it is difficult to determine where your friends are and where strangers are. Therefore, without a ground war, the RF Armed Forces will not be able to defeat the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”

I'll start at the end of the quote. Of course it is. Ground operation - this is the final moment of any episode. The only question is how the initial part of this operation will go.

Ukrainian opponents believe that “You can’t win a war only with air strikes - because aviation cannot detect and hit all suspicious objects and all targets, and cruise missiles are effective only at strategic targets, and all this does not work well if the battle takes place in urban areas, at close range, and it is difficult to determine where one's own and where others are".

I think that the Syrian terrorists would not agree with this point of view. In fact, three-quarters of the country was under them, but what is there, Assad practically had a capital with suburbs. And then the aircraft arrived. And then the rockets. And what happened next? It's worth remembering, it's worth it.


If we talk about Ukrainian realities, then in addition to aviation and tactical missiles, which, by the way, have more than good accuracy, we can add cannon artillery, MLRS and TOSs that the Russian army has. Maybe not in such quantities as we would like, but for the Armed Forces of Ukraine it will be more than enough.

Actually, applying all this together, as it should be in a normal offensive operation, it remains only to estimate how many Ukrainian troops in a certain area will be able to resist after a massive authorized strike.

You can talk for a long time, but since the time of the Second World War it has been clear - who controls the air, he controls the initiative. Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq, Syria - yes, the outcome of any conflict was decided in the air.


What is happening on the territory of modern Ukraine and the republics of Donbass is, excuse me, an exception. The conflict in the Donbas almost immediately began to resemble the First World War, its initial phase. Without aviation.

Excuse me, but who said that the Russian army would fight on the principles of a century ago?

Surprisingly, today in Ukraine, many people think so. And further along the text such a carnival begins that we will start laughing line by line.

“The shortcomings of the Russian army, which make it impossible to blitz and conduct fast and deep offensive operations of ground forces.

1. The absence of infantry capable of conducting independent maneuverable combat operations in isolation from armored vehicles. The motorized rifle and airborne squads of the SV and Airborne Forces of the RF Armed Forces are tied to their infantry fighting vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers.

In general, already at the beginning of the Second World War, infantry was planted on Tanks (we) or tanks and armored personnel carriers (USA, UK, Germany). That is, 80 years ago, commanders already realized that success depended on speed and maneuver.






"Tied to their armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles" ... Well, yes, because armored vehicles are armor and fire. Of course, a large-caliber machine gun, an automatic cannon, the ability to save strength before a decisive throw, additional ammunition, protected by some kind of armor and moved by an engine - all this is not for Ukrainian "cyborgs". The infantry must go on foot.




Experts and those who know will not let you lie, but in recent conflicts, Russian motorized infantry rode on armor from above. It is a fact.


Undermining a mine inside an armored box is sad, because from above. But who said that the BMP / BTR armored box should be empty? There, excuse me, everything you need for combat operations. Water, food, additional ammunition. And in such quantities that you want - you will not climb.

But this is the autonomy that ordinary infantry of a century ago will never have.

I would like to ask: Mr. Butusov, do you know how many people from the valiant Armed Forces of Ukraine became fertilizers in the area of ​​Izvarin and Debaltsevo precisely because they did not have an armored personnel carrier or at least a truck? And there was no way to heroically escape?


"The infantry squad of 8 people is very sensitive to losses, any injury or death leads to a sharp decrease in combat capability and the suspension of active operations."

Well, yes. And the employees of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who do not need armor, have three lives? And the failure of a fighter of the APU branch will not change anything at all? Well, yes, cyborgs are fighting there, I forgot ...


“Spetsnaz units are traditionally used as light infantry in the RF Armed Forces, which, however, are not numerous and do not have weapons and equipment for independent operations in combined arms combat.”

Deuce. Forgive us that we simply do not have the so-called "light infantry". Yes, we don’t have heavy infantry either. We don't have anything like that at all. There are motorized rifle troops that have no problems participating in modern combined arms combat. But there is MTR, but where does the combined arms battle? It is doubtful that we will follow the Ukrainian path, when, due to a shortage of personnel, openly police tasks were assigned to airmobile units.

In general, stupidity, which I don’t even want to discuss due to lack of interest.

“In a modern local war, without effective infantry, it is impossible to successfully operate in a city, rough terrain, carry out covert maneuvers, infiltrate into enemy battle formations.”

"Infiltration into enemy battle formations" is not modern infantry. This is the work of the DRG. And the fact that modern combat is impossible without effective infantry is indisputable.

But speaking seriously, it’s sad for me to imagine myself in the place of a Ukrainian semi-partisan, forced to drag everything on his hump and go into battle against a Russian soldier, behind whom an infantry fighting vehicle / armored personnel carrier with a machine gun and an automatic cannon still looms. Wouldn't want to.

But if we are talking about “infiltration” and shooting in the back… Well, as an option for using the army, this looks peculiar, but this is Ukraine…

2. Next we have tanks.


And the opinion on this topic is no less interesting than on the infantry. "Expert" believes that the main problem of the Russian tank forces is “lack of effective protection of military equipment from anti-tank weapons of the 2nd and 3rd generation. It is impossible to guarantee the protection of Russian tanks from being hit by a tandem warhead "Stugna", "Barrier", "Corsair".

I wonder if Ukrainian tanks have such protection? Well, at least from the "Cornet" and "Competition", I'm silent about the "Chrysanthemum" and special warheads for the MLRS "Smerch". The situation turns out to be very interesting.

About how “easy” life is for ATGM operators, our resource has been talked about more than once. We can agree that the Stugna is a good ATGM, but there are nuances. Yes, “any Ukrainian ATGM, even an old Soviet-made ATGM, can easily hit any other types of military equipment, trucks, and above all infantry fighting vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers”. Undoubtedly, but only in one case: if Russian tanks and infantry fighting vehicles march like in a parade.

And that is unlikely to happen. But we will talk about the tactics of the Russian army at the very end. Now it’s worth adding that despite the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have many more ATGMs than the Russian army has tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, the Russian army has something to offset this “superiority”.


In general, it is somewhat unclear how Ukrainian tanks will feel on such a battlefield? Here, of course, the case if they are. But not a word about the use of Ukrainian armored vehicles.

3. Low saturation of troops with optics and thermal imagers.

“Modern optical and thermal imaging sights significantly expand the parameters of even old weapons. At night, the thermal imager provides a key superiority in close combat.”

If we discard the nonsense about the use of French thermal imagers by some “groups of special forces of the FSB of the Russian Federation” in the Donbass, then the essence of the multi-line speech is as follows: the Ukrainian operator of the Javelin, using modern equipment, will be able to easily and naturally hit a Russian tank at night. And the Russian side will not be able to oppose it, especially in winter, when the daylight hours are short and the thermal imager will play a downright decisive role.

Yes, here the author has well brought out the weaknesses of Russian tank thermal imagers. Yes, they will badly "take" the infantry. The same heroic Ukrainian infantry, which will, without the use of armored vehicles, get close to Russian tanks at a distance of confident missile launch and destroy our tanks.

Doesn't this remind you of anything? But it popped up in my memory, I took it and checked it. Yes, it was like that. There are no planes, no tanks, no fuel, the enemy is at the gate. But there is a miracleweapon"... Anti-tank ...




In general, Ukrainian "experts" do not see how everything reminds them of those days of 1945. It's a pity. Because just the army will act against the wonderful independent Ukrainian infantry with modern anti-tank systems. With army aviation, motorized rifles, artillery and other necessary components.

Of course, if Russian tanks were perlied in columns, without any cover, then the Ukrainian soldiers would have shown themselves. But we're not so into science fiction hit, right?

4. Lack of effective air defense systems to cover forward combat formations from modern drones type "Bayraktar".

Here we have to make room for a big quote.

“The main advantage of Bayraktar is its long-range optoelectronic system Wescam MX-15 from L3Harris, which allows the drone to be in our rear, but at the same time observe and highlight the enemy’s combat formations at a distance of up to 20 km, moving along the entire front. The RF Armed Forces have nothing like the Bayraktar with Wescam MX-15, the enemy cannot achieve such a level of situational awareness.”

I didn’t understand a little why Bayraktar needed to highlight the enemy’s battle formations, especially to such a depth. Okay, okay, translation difficulties. Let them make an interactive map based on the UAV data and send it somewhere to the headquarters. What's next? What can such a card give? Use tactical weapons in battle formations? Which? "Tochka-U", of which there are still a couple of dozen in the Armed Forces of Ukraine? MLRS? Artillery?

Let's look further.

“Russia has a large number of air defense systems, however, the low visibility of Bayraktars for Russian radars, noise immunity, as the experience of the war in Libya, Syria, and Karabakh shows, allows Bayraktars to successfully hit targets on the front line, and in a favorable tactical situation - and deep in the depths of the enemy’s battle formations. Russia cannot completely close the sky for the Bayraktars, and the rapid advance of any Russian units in the Bayraktars' zone of operation will turn them into convenient targets.

Let's be mature. "Bayraktar" is good when nothing can be opposed to it. Yes, you can cite Libya, Syria, Karabakh and so on as much as you like. What unites all these countries? No army. Not trained, not skillful, not equipped. And most importantly, it does not have normal aviation and air defense.

In such conditions "Bayraktar" - yes, "wunder-weapon". In the conditions of the use of normal divisional air defense, it will “deflate” quite quickly. "Shilka", "Tunguska", "Shell" are worthy opponents. I would say - more than worthy.


Yes, we saw how the Bayraktars attacked the same Pantsirs in Syria. But the complexes were not in a combat position, why not attack? But if the “Shell” worked in a combat way, then, you know, with all the shortcomings of the complex, the grandmother said in two who was who.

And then, no matter how good the drone is, it has one drawback: it cannot take many weapons. So "Bayraktar" is a sword that can stab, even fatally. But Ukraine does not yet have and will not have, due to the lack of money, hundreds of Bayraktars capable of somehow slowing down the advance of Russian troops. But the Su-34, which can dump several tons of bombs at a time, is a cudgel.


Yes, the club weapon is not so elegant and innovative, but, as they say, with a great stunning effect.

5. Unpreparedness of the RF Armed Forces to conduct long-term intensive combat operations.

“Russian ground forces have a very limited number. The enemy can deploy no more than 90 ground battalion tactical groups against Ukraine out of a total of about 130 armored personnel carriers throughout the country. That is, ground strike forces of all branches of the RF Armed Forces against Ukraine, even after the deployment of the main forces, this is up to 100 military personnel, taking into account all possible support and support units - up to 200. Thus, the enemy already in the initial phase of the war does not have a general numerical advantage in ground forces over the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Russian army is very sensitive to losses, and they are inevitable, plus combat fatigue, inevitable rotations. There will be a shortage of personnel very quickly.”

Funny. Very funny. In general, Hitler also thought so that with the capture of Moscow everything would end with us, but how it turned out. I'm sorry, but we don't need an advantage in people. On the contrary, we will try to save them by putting them in equipment. And we will fight with technology.

90 BTG is a decent number. I would say even overkill. Why Ukrainian "specialists" want to fight in this way, we will leave behind the scenes. In general, he has a fad for some kind of sabotage and partisan actions, obviously due to the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are simply not yet capable of something more sane.

It is worth noting here that BTG is not from a good life. Especially in the realities of Ukraine, where the APU is full of seams with a complete set.

After all, the creation of battalion and even company tactical groups within the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the norm, since understaffing is the scourge of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

But why should Russia suddenly do this, because here you can simply move several divisions to the west and thereby solve all problems in general. But let the APU as it wants, and get out of this situation. And even those very BTGs are in the RF Armed Forces, but they are not being created because of a shortage of personnel. BTG is generally an interesting idea and, if executed correctly, is very effective. But this is the subject of a separate discussion.

"Blocked by sanctions, Russia will experience growing problems with the replenishment of military equipment and resources necessary to wage a long war."

Masterpiece, right? I just give a standing ovation. I would never have thought of this myself, to be honest.

In Ukraine, it is probably not known that Russia is doing an excellent job with the production of equipment and ammunition. Maybe we have problems with new samples, but as for the old ones, sorry. Yes, I do not argue, something remains in the same Ukraine, but what does the sanctions have to do with it? All that we bought in the West were engines for ships that were lost in the Ukrainian showdown. But everything else... It's sad, but for a couple of weeks the "war" with Ukraine will definitely be enough.

A long war ... I wonder how many independent information troops plan to fight? Many understanding people there believe that 1-2 months is all. Ukraine will become part of Russia, God forbid, of course.

But we go further.

Advantages of Ukraine:

"one. The ability to rapidly increase the number of infantry. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, thanks to the mobilization of civil society, the highest increase in combat capability can be achieved with infantry in large cities. Positional warfare in the Donbass instilled infantry thinking in defense in the army. War in settlements significantly reduces the superiority of the Russian army. Drawing into cities for the enemy is a loss of maneuver, and a loss of combat effectiveness, Russia will quickly feel the lack of trained infantry for fighting in buildings.

In general, one gets the impression that all the problems of Ukraine are simply taken and the names of the countries are changed. I want to scream: are you serious?

Mobilization of civilians into infantry in the face of a suitable Russian army? Good luck. I imagine how the inhabitants of Eastern Ukraine will rush ... from the military registration and enlistment offices. Forgive me, but what kind of rabble the Armed Forces of Ukraine completed in the same 2015, what a cool outflow was observed after Debaltsev - just a surprise of the highest order. And it was the militia plus the rumors about the "special forces of the FSB." It is not difficult for me to imagine what will happen if the Russian army really goes. I still communicate with Ukrainians.

"2. NATO intelligence and our special services will provide the Armed Forces of Ukraine with comprehensive intelligence about the actions of the enemy, we already now have complete information about all movements, radio communications, command posts, troop movements, supply points.”

But the problem of finding Russian troops in the Donbass has not been resolved. There is complete information about all movements, but no Russian troops have been found. And what is the use of such data?

“3. High saturation of anti-tank systems. The infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is already well provided with various anti-tank weapons, the density of the use of anti-tank systems will be high, the Russians have not yet encountered this. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have every opportunity for maneuvering attacking actions in small groups, and inflicting constant harassing strikes and losses on the enemy, thanks to equipping mobile strike groups with artillery and Javelin and Stugna anti-tank missile systems. In winter, the use of Javelin will be especially effective, the Russians do not have means of protection against it, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already received over 1200 such missiles and deliveries continue. Artillery strikes from populated areas will allow you to act covertly and inflict great damage on the enemy, if there is an accurate adjustment from drones or high-rise buildings.

If this is an advantage, then it is so-so. Yes, there are really a lot of anti-tank systems in the Armed Forces of Ukraine now. What does it say? Only that the area in which the offensive of the Russian army will take place will be processed more carefully. Aviation, artillery, MLRS, TOS.


Lots of ATGMs? Okay. And we have a lot of artillery pieces and attack aircraft that will simply plow the entire area. Tested by Americans in the Pacific Islands, works just fine. If you hollow the island with shells and bombs, sooner or later all the defenders will shoot back there.

It's just that the Ukrainian fighters will have more losses. And the losses will be solely on the conscience of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which will simply expose its fighters to bombs and shells.


And tall buildings are subject to adjustment - sorry, this is also not a problem from the word "absolutely".

"4. The presence of Bayraktars makes it especially effective to control the actions of advanced Russian units and deliver pinpoint strikes, preventing enemy infantry and small groups of armored vehicles from infiltrating deep into our battle formations, as well as directing our other forces at the enemy.

Well, when the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have three hundred "Bayraktars", then we'll talk. As long as there are ten of them, you can sleep peacefully.

Well, here's the finale. What interesting conclusions did Pan Butusov make and how can one answer his conclusions.

The conclusions of the Ukrainian side are as follows:

1. A quick large-scale offensive operation of the RF Armed Forces against the Armed Forces of Ukraine is impossible even in the event of air and missile strikes against bases. It is impossible to suppress the infrastructure and defense system only from the air, all the more so in the presence of various air defense systems and maneuvering, with a significant number of troops.

Just the operation against Ukraine will be large-scale and very fast.
Air defense systems (by the way, quite ancient) of Ukraine are cut down by the Iskander OTRK or something simpler in the first place. As did all the "civilized armies" in the same Yugoslavia and Iraq.

Air and missile strikes are carried out on airfields and bases of the much-adored Bayraktars.


Russian aviation in the sky makes life as difficult as possible for fans of war. And we have learned to do it.


Artillery treatment of areas where the offensive is to be.

So the incoming motorized rifle and tank troops will not meet such full-fledged resistance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

And the “significant preponderance” of the people of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will end very quickly. It is clear that the clever men in Ukraine want to fight with rifles and machine guns, as in the First World War, but the Russian army, if necessary, will use its entire arsenal.

The fact that there is no Air Force left in Ukraine is not our problem. The fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have cruise missiles, heavy flamethrower systems, the latest MLRS, artillery - well, this is again not our headache.

Of course, you can count on American and British ATGMs. As well as Turkish drones. And we will bet on missiles, shells and aircraft.


2. Even in the course of a local offensive operation with limited targets, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have weapons capable of inflicting heavy losses on the enemy, stopping an offensive, and even defeating the enemy.

I would look at it with pleasure if all those who write “overcoming” today were in the trenches with these weapons. In order to oppose at least something to the Russian army, the under-army of the Armed Forces of Ukraine must have somewhat greater means than anti-tank systems and UAVs.

3. The Armed Forces of Ukraine need a comprehensive reform to strengthen our advantages over the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, to reduce the backlog in a number of critical types of weapons. The doctrine of reform should be built on the basis of the optimal strategy and tactics optimal for achieving victory in the war.

And here I am once again ready to applaud Pan Butusov. And, seriously. He's right! He is really right! In order to enter the war with Russia and hold out there for more than a week, the Armed Forces of Ukraine must be reformed and equipped, as if it were the army of a decent country. We need a strategy, we need tactics, we need modern weapons and people trained to work with these weapons.

If you comply with all this, and even add a normal military budget to this, then the Armed Forces of Ukraine will really be able to become an armed force capable of something more than mastering handouts from the West.

It is a pity that I will not live to see this significant and important event.

      That's right, I'll add one more thing. My relatives moved from our north to the Ukrainian SSR, they have young people of military age and I have a son - and what, now they have to kill each other for the sake of the interests of the bourgeoisie? Yes, we will all lie down with our bones, but we will not let our own into a fratricidal war, let the pans with their barchuks fight each other if they want. I think that there are quite a few cases like mine and I believe that their decision will be similar, this is not our war. stop .

        The fact that there will be a war between our countries became clear back in 2014. Alas, but it is. And the fact that, having then the opportunity, if not to crush this "power", then to greatly curtail the territory on which it rules, our authorities did not take advantage of this, I still consider it a huge mistake. As a result, we are now getting a war in much more unfavorable conditions. And this "much" will grow from year to year.

              "The development of the imperialist war into a civil war" (V.I. Lenin) Are you saying in this sense that "this war cannot be ours"? You understand that if the people en masse get weapons in their hands, then against whom will they turn their rhetorical question. Arranging a big war for the authorities of the Russian Federation is like death.

            And the inhabitants of the Russian Federation were less "pumped"? On VO alone, several articles a day about Ukraine, I generally keep quiet about TV, they “dehumanize” Ukrainians, it’s disgusting to watch.

            You just read such resources and watch programs on TV, of which there are only a few on all channels. And you look at pumping in Ukraine on TV and everywhere at the state level. Have you heard somewhere from our leadership that Russia is going to attack Ukraine? Me not. And their mouths are already torn from rabies.

      You give the idea in such a way that you might think that it is Russia that is sleeping and seeing how it would be more convenient and faster for her to shake Ukraine. Russia is not looking for war, but demonstrates that it is ready to solve the problem not only diplomatically, but also militarily. Again, this is only possible if the dill and their puppeteers force her to do so. If the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not trample on "conquer the rebellious region", then the Russian troops will remain in their places of deployment.

      First of all, it is necessary to neutralize the crazed leadership of Ukraine in the conflict.

      For some reason I wanted to reply to your post.
      We often reproach the Russian authorities for the lack of designation of development prospects. And what does the Ukrainian government propose? Perfectly understanding the history of her historical education, she considered that she should put everyone to the last Ukrainian soldier for the Russian Crimea, not realizing that the population of the LDNR, who had made a decision on sovereignty, would not turn back...
      And what do the presidents of Ukraine offer? The West will arm us and we will defeat Russia, which is alone, and the world is behind us ... Absolutely no sense of self-preservation. The one who will return real statehood to Ukraine, possible ONLY in alliance with Russia, will go down in history...
      Have you at least once asked your own people why suddenly Ukrainians (before 2014) began to speak negatively about Russia? Maybe it's those western regions that became part of Ukraine before WWII muddy the waters? Give them independence...Hold a referendum on the national idea of ​​the country...Maybe Ukraine just needs to be preserved as part of several regions in order to preserve its culture (SAVE AND NOT SHOW IT WITH YELLOW-BLUE ATTRIBUTES), its unique language (IF YOU LIKE) as the only and state...
      Crazy ideas come to the head of several grabbers. Some rely on criminals, others on nationalists ...
      Look deep into history. Where in the world are isolated national associations (states) preserved? Afghanistan? So, sorry for the faux pas, it may not come to talk about lace underpants in the coming decades ... But it came from you:
      I would buy an ox, but the priest is naked ...

      It's time to come to your senses and remember when Ukraine was a flourishing and cheerful country ... There is no need to envy and expect that the neighbors will become so stupid that you can sit on their necks and hang your legs ...
      Put your thoughts in order, get rid of the nationalists and let's build our future together if you don't have an emergency "exit" like Yatsenyuk...

    The absence of infantry capable of conducting independent maneuverable combat operations in isolation from armored vehicles. The motorized rifle and parachute squad of the SV and Airborne Forces of the RF Armed Forces are tied to their infantry fighting vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers
    The stupidity is enormous and the fighting in the Caucasus showed this perfectly ... In the mountainous and wooded area, the infantry often had to act independently, and the main thing here was the skillful fire support of its actions. And fire support is primarily artillery and aviation, and the RF Armed Forces have a clear advantage in both
    Special Forces units are traditionally used as light infantry in the RF Armed Forces.
    Yes, yes, yes ... but the presence of the DShBr as part of the Airborne Forces, it’s true .... Oh, well, woe to the "theorist"
    The Ukrainian Javelin operator, using modern technology, will be able to easily and naturally hit a Russian tank at night. And the Russian side will not be able to oppose it, especially in winter, when the daylight hours are short and the thermal imager will play a downright decisive role.
    Well, that's all ... done ... Here's just one BIG "BUT" ... Did this "theorist" see how people look on the screen of a reconnaissance UAV at night? Does he understand what such a "movie" leads to? Having so far few attack UAVs, the RF Armed Forces are quite well saturated with reconnaissance UAVs, and the same gunners have excellent interaction with them.

    Since Russia cannot and will not exist outside the status of the Empire, the issue of the borders of the primordially Russian lands thrown back 400 years ago will still have to be resolved. But this will not have to be decided by the ruler, who, having declared that the destruction of the Red Empire is the greatest catastrophe, does not correct the consequences of the catastrophe, but visits the Centers named after the destroyer to confirm the oath to the destroyers. While the ruler is such that by his behavior and actions he demonstrates a clear misunderstanding of the significance and greatness of the work and feat of Ivan the Third, Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Catherine the Great and Stalin - for what and why these geniuses created and preserved Russia in the status of an Empire, about the successful development of the country out of the question . Moreover, states have now been created along the western and southern perimeter on the ancestral lands of Russia in terms of their hostility to Russia, similar to the former enemies of Russia, before the creation of the Russian Empire - the Golden Horde, Kramskoy and Kazan khanates. If this is not resolved, as Ivan the Terrible decided with Kazan, then Russia, even on its current borders, will have a danger growing every year according to the method of geometric progression. The British are already building their naval base on the Sea of ​​Azov, and

          What can you explain? There was a war, of course there were civilians who died, but the situation and the comparison of Chechnya with the Donbass is not correct.

          because terrible crimes were committed in Chechnya, rampant crime, robberies, murders, etc. and with the advent of Dudayev, they began to cut on the nat. sign and kill the Russians, terrorist attacks began + there was an attempt to withdraw the republic from the country, and we naturally had to intervene and stop the mess that was.

          In the Donbass, someone killed on nat. sign? Someone cut the Ukrainians? Or maybe the LDNR staged terrorist attacks on the territory of Ukraine? Also no. An army was thrown into the Donbass because they did not recognize the new authorities of Ukraine, who came to power unconstitutionally. And this situation had to be resolved peacefully, and this could be done because. there were not terrorists in the usual sense, but people, ordinary people who did not recognize the new government. So these are very different situations and comparisons with Chechnya are incorrect here.

And you don't see the difference? After all, the attempt to declare the independence of Chechnya is continuously connected with terrorist attacks, massacres, including on the nat. sign and for information, Russia has been negotiating with such scumbags for several years, and only when they tried everything did they move on to cleaning up.

              Ukraine did not have such a need, especially since the status of legitimacy of the self-proclaimed republics at that time was higher, because. the new authorities for the Donbass turned out to be nobody, because none of the voters chose Turchinov, Yatsenyuk, Poroshenko, but they voted for Yanukovych, whom the West abandoned and the inhabitants of the regions (Donetsk and Luhansk republics) themselves chose the new authorities and they had the right to do so. Further, the question was not about separation from Ukraine (initially), but about securing the status of the Russian Language and the rights of the Russian-speaking citizens of the republic, who were infringed by the new authorities of Ukraine (this was not the case in Chechnya) + Minsk agreements were concluded according to which Donbass remained part of Ukraine, but the rights of its citizens and a special status were enshrined in the constitution, and if Ukraine wanted to peacefully resolve this issue, then the problem of Donbass would have been resolved long ago. So there are a lot of differences in fact .... and the situations I emphasize again, they are very different.

    At the risk of a ban from the VO administration, I will still say:
    1. It's hard to even imagine a more stupid article than this one. Only those who provoke this possible conflict can discuss the possibility of a Russian attack on Ukraine.
    2. To seriously discuss the nonsense of a Ukrainian journalist about comparing the two armies is possible only by descending to the level of this journalist.
    3. I am sure that this will never happen, but today no one will be able to say how the population of Ukraine will behave in the event of "peace enforcement" of the armed detachments of the Ukronazis. And 75% of the case depends on this. Another 10% will depend on Russian generals. I hope that after 8-8-8 there are no "commanders" who command troops from the crowd of journalists on a mobile phone in the Russian army.

    Russians shouldn't kill Russians. There are so few of us, very few for a vast territory. An aging nation with very poor reproduction. The situation with the Ukronatsiks is complicated, but it should be solved by political methods and not by a fratricidal war, with dubious consequences. We need to think about how to remove the abscess of Westerners who have captured the outskirts of the Russian land. Surgically.
    Let the mattresses ask how it's done. They have flower beds with a bang. It's long and expensive, but the results are worth it. Let the wrestlers fork out for the holy idea of ​​the liberation of the Russian people of the outskirts. Not all the stars of "heroes" should be hung over the bridge.

    Well, apparently I will have to (from my sofa) stand up for the APU a little - not because of special love or fear, if anything.
    In this case, there is a noteworthy moment - in the case of full-scale databases, Mr. Butusov subconsciously wants to arrange (by proxy, of course) Grozny. In case of success - "New Year's assault", in the worst case - a siege from the Second Chechen War.
    After all, the "New Year's Storm" has a younger and more successful brother - the Thunder Run of the Americans in Baghdad in 2003. There, American mechanized columns entered the city, set up a network of strongholds at road junctions, and seized the administrative buildings of the Iraqi capital. As a result, the command in Baghdad faced an unexpected task - now they had to (practically on foot) attack the hastily fortified American troops, advancing along the open spaces of avenues and highways.
    I suspect that ATGMs can be supplied for two purposes - and one of them is precisely the obstruction of the Thunder Run by Russian troops. Well, i.e. more effective anti-tank weapons will make it possible to stop similar columned weapons on the march. (The second goal may be the deployment of guerrilla warfare, which the Americans openly fantasize about).
    Well, knowing about such a possibility of the RF Armed Forces, as I think it is supposed to be "on the other side", we will have to move on to a longer strategy for the siege of these cities. This will potentially worsen the attitude of the local population and will definitely delay the campaign.
    Of course, all of the above is based on the conditional correctness of two prerequisites that are fundamentally unverifiable at this stage.
    1. Russia will send troops to the territory of Ukraine (I think this will happen if the Armed Forces of Ukraine attack in the Donbass).
    2. All Ukrainian paramilitary formations will fight at least to some extent.

    I completely agree with Roman here, but I also need to add that in order to wage war, the country must also be economically rich, and not standing on the porch with an outstretched hand. Such countries, after the end of the war, break up into small limitrophes, or they are devoured by their neighbors (a start has already been made).

Why kill the Armed Forces of Ukraine if you can make it your own or use it in your own way, having previously cleared it of the Nazis.

The idea that Russia is preparing to attack Ukraine is presented as an axiom, and reasoning begins in the spirit of Goebbels' leaflets: "The commissars are deceiving you, surrender, the Germans have cigarettes and hot soup." Russia will never attack Ukraine first. Combat operations are possible only if Ukraine rushes to the LDNR in order to quickly capture in the Balkan style.

    And we must admit, these guys on bicycles with Pantsirshreks and Faustpatrons disabled a lot of armored vehicles and burned them - but in our yard it’s not 1945, but 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have thousands of Stugna Javelin Competitions NLAW, this is a much cooler weapon than Pantsirshreks and Faustpatrons both in terms of accuracy of destruction firing range and armor penetration and you don’t need to get close to the tank; firing range is about 800 meters to 5500 meters; you’ll be very lucky if the crew of the armored vehicles even sees the crews with these anti-tank systems - but these groups will see the equipment using the same thermal imaging and optical instruments, and since all infantry fighting vehicles and bare armored personnel carriers do not have the standard lattice canopy and dynamic protection, and there are no KAZ tanks - guys on bicycles and motorcycles with homemade buggies or foot-drillers in small groups will take care of all the equipment.

        M430A1 HEDP - a shot with a universal armor-piercing fragmentation grenade (the penetrating effect is 75 or 76 mm of steel), they are enough to pierce the armor of the 82A BTR and BMP 2 and our other lightly armored vehicles in the forehead and side, and it is quite enough to pierce the side of the BMP 3 Most likely, the United States supplied this ammunition to the Ukrainian Armed Forces along with grenade launchers, and most likely M 203 under-barrel grenade launchers along with AR 15 rifles also supply the same.

        “Yes, two dozen destroyed tanks all over Berlin - the entire Red Army was terrified.”
        According to the TsAMO of the Russian Federation, the 2nd Guards Tank Army under the command of Colonel General S.I. Bogdanov, during street fighting in Berlin from April 22 to May 2, 1945, irretrievably lost 52 T-34s, 31 M4A2 Shermans, 4 IS- 2, 4 ISU-122, 5 SU-100, 2 SU-85, 6 SU-76, which amounted to 16% of the total number of combat vehicles before the start of the Berlin operation. It should be taken into account that the tank crews of the 2nd Army operated without sufficient rifle cover and, according to combat reports, in some cases the tank crews were combing houses. The 3rd Guards Tank Army under the command of General P. S. Rybalko, during the battles in Berlin from April 23 to May 2, 1945, irretrievably lost 99 tanks and 15 self-propelled guns, which amounted to 23% of the combat vehicles available at the beginning of the Berlin operation. The 4th Guards Tank Army under the command of General D. D. Lelyushenko found itself involved in street battles on the outskirts of Berlin from April 23 to May 2, 1945, only partially and irretrievably lost 46 combat vehicles. At the same time, a significant part of the armored vehicles were lost after being hit by Faust cartridges. And in total, the irretrievable losses of armored vehicles of the Belorussian and Ukrainian Front during the storming of Berlin amounted to 661 units - So about “Two dozen beaten for the whole of Berlin” - Tell that to the grandmothers on the bench.

    “90 BTG is a decent figure. I would say, even overkill. Let’s leave behind the scenes why Ukrainian “specialists” want to fight in this way. He generally has a thing for some kind of sabotage and guerrilla actions, obviously due to the fact that The Armed Forces of Ukraine are simply not yet capable of anything more sane.” These may or may not be capable - but who said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces and these BTGs will fight in one helmet and that the West will not send them tens of thousands of mercenaries with weapons from all over the world through Poland with real extensive experience in combat operations with regular troops and the state special forces of which the West used in all its military operations around the world.

But the Ukrainian cannot know everything about our Army. :) There is electronic warfare, which we ourselves know nothing about. It's a pity. There will be no clashes, there will be no destructive air or artillery attacks.
    Even the wristwatch of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will stop, not to mention any kind of communication at all. All electronics in crested tanks and all sorts of jewels will burn out.
    And from every iron there will be a call to go on shift for a good salary, go home and eat lard.

    The biggest advantage of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be that the Ukrainians, no matter what they say about them, are fraternal people. And when (if, God forbid), Russians and Ukrainians kill each other in large numbers, anything can happen...

    We are still very lucky that the propaganda in Ukraine is basically truly anti-Russian. If in Ukraine those “who are supposed to” grew a brain and engaged in propaganda, at least from the history textbook of the late 30s to the mid-40s of the last century, it would be much worse.

    "Lots of ATGMs? Okay. And we have a lot of artillery pieces and attack aircraft that will simply plow the entire area. Tested by Americans in the Pacific Islands, works just fine. If you hollow the island with shells and bombs, sooner or later all the defenders will shoot back there." - thank you, I laughed, a cool joke both on the topic of BB2 and on the topic of modern tactics. laughing

    Too many letters on both sides.
    Tactically, on the part of the United States, the only feasible task is to organize hotbeds of intra-city street fighting in Ukraine. Creating powerful chaos and pushing this chaos into the Russian Federation. And chaos can result. There is something to explode here. Pipelines, power plants, highways, bridges.
    Everything else is hopeless. All these discussions about open hostilities are quite entertaining, but even with infusions of foreign candy wrappers, the economy will not be able to continue at least some functioning in wartime mode.
    So chaos is inevitable. It will consist of two factors - the destruction of infrastructure and complete economic collapse. It will not be possible to filter all this out by the border and it will all creep towards you.
    On top of this - real sanctions... this will hurt, because the Russian economy is too dependent on the sale of raw materials conquered by the USSR to survive. And so... China has stocked up on gas for a long time. And oil. Why do you think they started buying so much and raised prices? They don’t care about the Russian Federation and Europe. They are simply insuring themselves in case of a future crisis.
    Further? There are places to extract metals even without the Russian Federation. The same goes for everything else. In general, there are a lot of pain points, blocking which can cause irreparable damage to the economy.
    All that remains is Europe with its resource needs. But these allies are disgusting. So their location can be neglected. And they cannot do anything against the United States. In general, Europe in its current state can only fall apart. Nothing more than... only aggravating the crisis.
    So the plot in general terms is clear.
    The question is: will they go for it...
    Because the result will be USSR 2.0 (and as a bonus, the quick death of Vova and 70-80% of the top of the system of controlled corruption). They also understand this very well.
    So, from the point of view of a long-term strategy, it is more profitable for them to continue to support the current system in the Russian Federation in every possible way.

    The author, in a place of adequate analysis of where they actually have advantages and where the real threat came to the ideas of the LDPR “we will wash our boots in the Indian Ocean.” It will not help us if we refuse to see their strengths and only concentrate on their weaknesses. What I agree with with the Ukrainian source is the statement that “missiles and the Air Force” do not win the war. Although our author gives examples of Syria, Iraq and the Balkans, he forgets that in Syria it is not only the Aerospace Forces that are fighting, but also Special Operations Forces, Military Police, PMC forces and the huge Syrian Army. Which has always outnumbered the terrorists in terms of personnel, armored vehicles, and artillery. They leaked it not because our Air Force did not exist, but because there was no local command, there was no fighting spirit and they did not know how to carry out large operations of various types of troops. But we knew how and showed how it’s done. The situation was the same in Iraq, the Coalition was many times superior to the Iraqi Air Force, and also inferior in terms of technology and interaction. And for a minute, the Coalition had a ground army of about 310 soldiers with a full set of equipment and interaction between all branches of the armed forces of different countries. And Iraq did not have much more than a ground army of 000. Although the aviation burned the bulk of Saddam’s equipment, those units that went to the cities for defense were knocked out for months with complete control of the country and the unrealistic supply of this entire group of the Coalition and Iraq around his country had only enemies on all borders. The situation was the same in the Balkans, all the former republics of Yugoslavia took up arms against the Serbs and NATO members, yes, basically only the Air Force was ironing out, and the ground factor was the same Albanians, Croats, Macedonians and everyone else who was not too lazy. Again, there was not a single friendly or even allied State around Serbia. We are, yes... but we are far away.
    As a result, we come to the conclusion that superiority in the air and high-precision weapons are a significant advantage both in defense and, even more so, in offense. But now we come to our comparison of a potential war with Ukraine. We immediately remove the minus from Iraq and the Serbs, Ukraine, as you see, has allies and not the least countries in the world and the region: Turks, Poles, Balts, Americans, British, Canadians. Based on this, it is clear that our problems will be immediately economically and diplomatically guaranteed; we add supplies that will go directly from their neighbors across the borders. Next, let’s talk about what the author considers “Volkssturm”. Here, either the author does not understand a little, or he purposefully simplifies it. “Volkssturm” is essentially an ordinary militia, like any country, armed with disposable or low-quality weapons for fighting in the city. Sharavarniks talk about defense in cities not so much with a militia, but with a regular army and 2-3 generation anti-tank weapons. I don’t think we need to remind us what it is to storm even a small city with a motivated “Volkssturm” with weapons in the form of an RPG. Even this turned out to be a threat, and here we are talking about, if not an army of the top ten, but also motivated and armed with advanced ATGMs and MANPADS, NATO intelligence and the central army command. I remind you that even in Iraq, Saddam’s fragmented, without central control but regular army fought back in the cities for several months, despite the fact that the Coalition already had an advantage in everything, numbers, armored vehicles, air supremacy, logistics, it was besieging it, not it. Let's go further, the author completely forgets that the shavarniks have not new but more than 50 divisions of various types of air defense systems and it is not clear how many MANPADS they brought there. All this cannot be demolished with one blow from the "Caliber" and "Iskander", you need to understand that we also do not have such goodness indefinitely. As a result, there will still be problems with the sky; it won’t be as easy to fly over cities as in Syria in any case.
    We also forget about how much artillery they have, both rocket and cannon. And if we take into account that they already directly say that intelligence is working at least from the United States and Britain, then even this Soviet artillery and Soviet “Points” can cause quite a lot of trouble, especially if we are talking about sieges or assaults on cities, then in any case for an assault it is necessary to accumulate troops in the directions of entry into cities, to place a headquarters, hospital, and logistics hub within a 10-kilometer zone from the battlefield to constantly supply the advance group that is advancing. And it is precisely these objects that are mandatory and will be vulnerable to rocket and cannon artillery, which will naturally be camouflaged in cities. If we look at the grouping that we have now concentrated and try to assign even our Aerospace Forces of the Southern, Western and Central Districts to them, and we throw all the assets of our missile forces there, then in order to cause serious damage to fuel and lubricant warehouses, ammunition and airfields, this Enough is enough. But in order to enter and take control of at least the border areas, having a grouping of even 200 along the entire length of our border with Ukraine + Belarus, this will not be enough for an offensive and covering supply routes, their grouping is still 000% in number. will be larger and quickly move forward, leaving contingents of troops for sieges of cities with resistance and covering roads, we will not be able to do so in such numbers, especially considering that they want us to enter with a ground army, they will only be able to compete with us there, their weapons and tactics designed for this.
    The question arises, why enter with a ground army if you can simply punish them by bombing the above-mentioned military installations with high-precision weapons and aerospace forces? And the answer is that if we do this without the ground factor, we will only harm ourselves, we will spend strategic weapons to destroy what their owners will compensate them for in a couple of months on the wave of hype, and will also pile on top. And we will have a lot of disadvantages from the Anglo-Saxons in terms of technology, economics, diplomacy, and the result will be negative if we do not introduce ground forces and do not receive some significant acquisitions in the form of Kharkov, Odessa, Nikolaev, Kherson, Zaporozhye and the complete liberation of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. If this is not achieved, then the game is not worth the candle. And in order to carry out this kind of operation, it is necessary to remove the entire composition of the Southern, Central, Western and also involve parts of the Eastern Military District, so that the group would be at least 400 soldiers and officers, which is comparable to their army and what they will be able to mobilize during the first 000-5 days. We cannot do this; we cannot afford to expose the Western and not so calm Southern borders. If you believe ours, the 7 that we now have on our borders and in Belarus, plus another maximum of 140 from the Eastern Military District, is our limit for now. And this is not enough to attack and hold those parts of Ukraine, even with all the capabilities of the aerospace forces and high-precision missile capabilities. Don't underestimate their crap propaganda brain. I would think about a local operation to destroy the threat to the Republics, but again, the cost of this would be unacceptable to us. You need to either fight fully and mobilize everything you can and take any losses for the sake of the goal, or not get involved at all if you think now to solve semi-active measures.

    The main problem of the RF Armed Forces, in fact, has long been pointed out by R. Ishchenko, if the Armed Forces of Ukraine sit down in cities, essentially taking their residents hostage, then the RF Armed Forces will not be able to act as in Berlin in 45, simply smashing everything into rubble.

    And in the event of a real war, the Russian Armed Forces will first of all try to prevent this. It is even possible that attempts will immediately be made to capture Kyiv and dangerous industries. objects. That is, aviation will have to completely crush the air defense to ensure the landing.

Why do most commentators start arguing about how Russia will do a good job of everyone? if such a task, in principle, is not assigned to our army? Putin always said only one thing: if the Armed Forces of Ukraine go to Donbass, they will get it. It is the Ukrovoyaks who will be drawn into battles in the urban areas of Donetsk and it is their equipment that the militia will burn. I hope there is no doubt about their saturation with the same ATGMs? And among other things, the rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be amazed to its fullest depth by whatever our command wants. Plus blows to infrastructure. cessation of supplies of fuels and lubricants, coal, etc. Gentlemen, the fighters from the IPSO, who are frolicking here in the guise of being guardians of Russian soldiers’ mothers, don’t hope. that they will conquer you and then feed you. They won't feed you. But you will receive missile and bomb attacks on IPSO locations in Brovary, Odessa, and the Zhitomir region.

A tank is on the offensive - you can’t hide it with anything, not a parapet, not smoke. This means that the Ukrainian anti-tank systems will partially knock them out. Helicopters will not hover over the battlefield for hours, and they themselves are threatened by MANPADS at a minimum. And so on. Too lazy to describe the nonsense that the author is talking about.

    Bravo to the author for conscientious work. The article is great, I would even say patriotic. One thing - BUT... Who told you that the task of Ukrainians is to die under the fire of our weapons? Initially, the task is set - to draw Russian troops into its territory, then - according to OUN tactics. The whole of Ukraine is littered with caches for food, weapons and manpower. They will leave cordons of opposition from suckers and fanatics to organize victims, the basis for popular revenge. They rely on shooting and explosions from around the corner, and not on open resistance. Work for foreign media and the destruction of Russia, through a world blockade, in all directions. The whole world will root for their “liberation struggle.” And it doesn’t matter what kind of weapons we have - entering the territory of Ukraine is like shooting yourself in the temple, with only one hope: “what if it misfires.” Any “victory” in this territory is equal to defeat, in the short or long term.
    More realistically, there may be a cessation of supplies of certain products, goods, raw materials, depending on the shelling in the LDPR, for one period or another. Expulsion of one or another number of “employees”, depending on the behavior of Ukraine, including transfer of funds, etc.
    Opposition must be calculated, but avoid hostility that incites hatred. This is not easy, but it is better to try to maintain neutrality with your neighbors than poorly hidden hostility.

    This way you can hit the front line. There is not enough ammunition for the whole of Ukraine. There are no selective bombs - this will lead to significant losses of civilians. How will Russia be perceived when images of mass casualties of Ukrainians appear all over the world?
    It is no coincidence that popular wisdom says: “A bad peace is better than a good quarrel.”
    If you want to fight, fight economically. Link any economic relations to the situation in Donbass. Why is it that when there is an aggravation with Turkey, we find economic leverage, but we must fight with Ukraine?
