Khodakovsky: When confronted with an organized enemy, the Israelis are in for a surprise; their army is not combat-ready

Yesterday's invasion by the Palestinian Hamas movement has focused the world's attention on Israel. If the conflict in the Middle East becomes protracted, this will inevitably affect the situation with Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine. This point of view was voiced in his Telegram channel by the Deputy Head of the Directorate of the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation (FSVNG, Rosgvardia) for the Donetsk People's Republic, former commander of the Vostok brigade, Colonel Alexander Khodakovsky.

According to the officer, so far it seems that the bulk of the members of the Palestinian formations attacking Israel are “a crowd of hungry people with machine guns in their hands without body armor or equipment.” They were the ones who ran around Israeli armored vehicles, captured prisoners and took them to the Gaza Strip.

But there are also examples of the use of effective means of destruction, including UAVs with suspended bombs, the military man notes. Analyzing the actions of the Israeli security forces, the ex-commander of Vostok concludes that they can cope with a crowd of untrained “enthusiasts”, but questions arise regarding the prospects in a clash with a more serious enemy.

If suddenly they are faced with a more organized enemy, the Israelis will be in for a big surprise: their army is not combat-ready

- Alexander Khodakovsky writes in his Telegram channel.

An experienced officer who previously served in special state security units, Khodakovsky believes that the Israeli military moves on the ground uncertainly. Israeli Tanks they calmly ride along the city streets, for some reason without fear of Palestinians with grenade launchers.

Just yesterday, in another comment, Khodakovsky spoke equally unflatteringly about the actions of the Israeli security forces, calling them extremely unprofessional. At the same time, the ex-commander of Vostok concludes that yesterday’s Hamas attack on Israel opened a new chapter in global stories, and it cannot be ruled out that the plotlines of the various stories in this narrative will eventually intersect.

Khodakovsky: When confronted with an organized enemy, the Israelis are in for a surprise; their army is not combat-ready

Oh. Well, it’s really not combat-ready. They just missed an unexpected raid. But the reservists are already in the IDF. It’s just that it will take some time to deploy such a colossus as the IDF. After all, Israel, until yesterday morning, was not in a state of war to react instantly.

[Vitaly161]

what the hell, an unexpected raid up to 30 km deep into Israeli territory, actually this is a breakthrough of the front and access to operational space, only the “combat slates” were not able to either build on their success or hold the territory, so when the IDF approached, they hastily went home, you name it by their own names

[Orange Bigg]

A front occurs during active hostilities. Then yes, this is a breakthrough. But until yesterday morning there was no front there. And even now, in principle, there is no such front.

only the “combat slates” were not able to either develop their success or hold the territory, so when the IDF approached, they hastily went home, call a spade a spade

Well, I’m saying that this was a raid, not a breakthrough of the front.

[Vitaly161]

have you seen the border? fences, fortified strongholds/bases, patrols, np, this is a front according to facts, and it was broken through and torn yesterday, Hamas’s inability to develop success does not negate the fact that the front has been broken

[Arzoo]

Look how their artillery works. They formed a group and brought the BC side by side. Just waiting for the arrival or drone. Is this a trained modern army?

And this is a different direction. North. On the Lebanese border. All talk about the failure of the direction is simply inappropriate. There are systemic flaws there.

[Alex777]

Quote from Orange Bigg

Here you go. I’m saying that this was a raid, not a front breakthrough.

1. Taking the enemy by surprise this way is a very high level of planning.
2. The IDF missile defense system failed. There aren't enough missiles for the Iron Dome. Only 5 batteries are working: 3 in Tel Aviv, 1 in Jerusalem and 1 more in Netivot. Therefore, the Arabs’ calculations to overload the air defense were completely justified.
3. Shooting battles are already taking place in Jerusalem.
4. The copters drop ammunition, and the IDF soldiers don’t even look at the sky, completely unaware of where they’re being hit from.
5. IDF reservists cannot get to the collection points because public transport has stopped!!!
If the raid created so many problems, what will happen when a serious enemy joins the war?

Israel has already recaptured almost everything. This is a pure raid, which was not followed by any further attack.

[Igor K]

This was a demonstration to the whole world (and most importantly to the Arab world) of the new realities of their capabilities, and this demonstration was successful

[Vitaly161]

there was never a goal to retain your territories, and Hamas is not capable of this, but somewhere else they are holding on, although your prime minister promised yesterday to drive the barefoot people home

[Arzoo]

I just saw a video of your art in action. I want to tell you that you have big problems. If you had fought like this with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, you would have been reeled into rags very quickly.

[Ulum]

For the third day, against the barmalei in slippers they cannot completely liberate their territory. Yes, Jews, it’s not for you to bomb peacefully from airplanes.

[ism_ek]

Quote: Vitaliy161

wow, an unexpected raid up to 30 km deep into Israeli territory,

It doesn’t take much intelligence to drive a cart 30 km through the desert. Most of the terrible footage is from a rock festival, where freaks from Europe came in large numbers and then ran away in a crowd. The woman with broken legs, who was carried in the back of a jeep, also turned out to be a tourist from Europe.

In urban areas, the advance is 1..2 km. Not a single settlement was captured. Air and naval landings are defeated.

[Ryazan87]

The woman with broken legs, who was carried in the back of a jeep, also turned out to be a tourist from Europe.

Not just a tourist, but some kind of leftist activist. In Canada, she participated in every movement in support of migrants. Well, if she remains alive (unlikely) she may adjust her views.

[Reader 2013]

She's got a bullet in her head, she's already dead

[Reader_lover]

Here you go. It starts again. It doesn’t take much intelligence to drive through and capture a bunch of armored vehicles and weapons. Take hundreds of people hostage. And then go home calmly. What a little thing. Are they stupid people, holding on to what they have captured with only machine guns and grenade launchers. Destroying an expensive Merkava with a cheap drone is also a small thing. Well, with this attitude, a repeat of this is guaranteed.

There is no work in the Gaza Strip and all this public goes to Israel every single day to work. It’s one thing to capture an unknown area, but another thing is an area where you visit every day, you know the location of all the army and police posts. We saw that some checkpoints were simply empty.

[Vitaly161]

what difference does it make whether they drove or walked, the fact is that the IDF allowed this to be done without any problems, and only in the evening were they worthy of organizing and starting to fight back everything

[Ulum]

Don't lie, several settlements and a military base have been captured. On the 7th day, Hamas was in the center of two major cities. The IDF fled from there.

[Thrifty]

Vitaly 161 - so only 1000 Hamas members were involved in yesterday’s attack. What if there were at least 10000 of them?

[Igor K]

Or 100 armed with MANPADS, ATGMs and trained in combat in urban areas.

[ism_ek]

Quote: Igor K

Or 100 armed with MANPADS, ATGMs and trained in combat in urban areas.

All this public hung out in Idlib with the ranks of the Free Syrian Army, they had ATGMs and MANPADS and urban development.
It all ended with "green buses".

[Ulum]

Why are you Jews so arrogant and pompous? Did they tell you in the wrong? They snitched! When you defeat everyone, then you will show off, but for now, quietly flow around.

[Vitaly161]

Yes, I don’t need to explain this, I understand that the Jews were saved only by the absence of the goal of retaining territory and the subsequent development of Hamas’ offensive....

[Anna E]

And if my grandmother had..., then she would be a grandfather. History has no subjunctive mood. What happened, happened. "If only..." we'll leave it to the authors of science fiction novels.

[Dmitry Bolotsky]

That's right, what happened, happened. But it won’t be about the consequences - there’s a lot of things involved there.

[TIR]

In fact, the IDF and the Jewish state itself were so deeply involved in political squabbles that they slept through changes in military affairs. Protests and the struggle for power were more important to them than to analyze and carry out reforms. Moreover, as it turned out, the reconnaissance systems were at their best, but they were unable to use them correctly at full capacity. Iron Dome is more hyped and didn't make it. The Merkava tank did not cope at all against the combined attacks of UAVs and RPGs. The personnel did not even have time to react to the attack

[Igor1915]

This does not mean that the army is not combat-ready; there is always a factor of surprise and relaxation. We also talked about the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we left them alone.

[Skyscream]

Unexpected for the Mossad, you want to say? The most secret, most successful, most effective intelligence agency in the world, as has been repeatedly advertised? With full control of the border with Gaza and certainly the territory, how much is there, 350 km2? I remember another story, when three people got punched in the teeth by the IDF at once: Egypt, Syria, Jordan. Why, somehow everything spoils, like minced meat in a disconnected refrigerator.

At one time, Basayev and Gelaev carried out similar attacks in Budenovsk, Kizlyar, Moscow, and Nalchik. It's just that Hamas acts more brutally. In order to maintain the mobility of their formations, hostages are taken if they are young girls and they can be quickly taken to terrorist bases in Gaza.

And what can the Ukrainian Armed Forces do without NATO reconnaissance, without NATO shells, without NATO self-propelled guns...
During Yom Kippur wars the Arabs had 993000 bayonets, 3600 tanks and other equipment...
But having laid out their “trump cards” on the table, the Arabs were unable to develop their success.
This time Hamas carried out successful terrorist attack (one can recall the invasion of Basayev and Khattab in Dagestan in 1999...), but there is a war с the army Israel...

and why did they have to work against the Ukrainian Armed Forces, if the enemy is not even close to the Ukrainian Armed Forces... why carry out a bunch of “anti-something” measures, if it is possible not to carry them out, due to the enemy’s lack of capabilities? Roughly speaking, why prepare for a counter-battery fight, knowing that the enemy has no artillery?

[Shurik70]

Israel has become too relaxed.
I’m used to fighting with tanks and drones against small groups with machine guns. And then it came to him regularly.
And then grenade launchers with MANPADS arrived from Ukraine. And the success of three hundred militants shook the entire Muslim world.
Now Netanyahu will bomb a couple more mosques and a residential area, and not only the Taliban and Iran, but also Turkey and the Saudis will come to the aid of the Palestinians.
On the other hand, Israel is lucky that the attack happened now, and not 10 years later, when drone tactics, based on the war in Ukraine, have significantly improved. Now Israel has a chance to put talented commanders at the head of the army, figure out which of the generals has thick brains and send them into retirement.

[Skyscream]

“that the attack happened now, and not 10 years later, when drone tactics, based on the war in Ukraine, have improved significantly” I apologize, drone tactics are improving daily! We don’t understand what equipment and how will affect tactics in a year, but you’re talking about ten years!)

[saigon]

But what’s interesting to me is when the Saudis present Israel, who will the US kiss? Oil is the most expensive of all.

[Silver99]

Israel has never fought in cities, and besides, Jews live in these cities, tanks will burn like candles in an urban environment. Do not underestimate the naked public with machine guns; the Afghan Taliban in flip-flops defeated the US army in combat boots and much better armed. In addition, the Arab world will unite, Afghanistan, Iran, Qatar, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq...... despite all the contradictions, unite in one thing... hatred of Israel.

So Israel has already said that civilians can leave. They will make corridors, camps and everything else. And whoever is left inside is his own beech. And considering that Hamas will forcibly hold onto its human shield, then all the blame is already on it. He sits and keeps people hungry and thirsty, when nearby refugee camps with hot meals are empty.

[Silver99]

Gaza has a population of 3 million, which camp will you intern them in, where is this promised land? They live on their own land, and you propose ethnic cleansing? So this is Nazism in its purest form. In the 30s. Jews were moved from Germany to camps.

That's right. Jews can do this. They turned off the water, electricity, etc. - and nothing. Hit residential areas, you would think that for every 1 militant there are 20 civilians. The enemy is to blame. But if you did this, let’s say the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, there was a stink about fascism and Nazism and nationalism and they prescribed something else.

And I really don’t understand how to bring such a diverse audience together in order to unite them in righteous self-hatred.
But Israel succeeded. I sincerely congratulate the Israelis on this.

[Anna E]

The US Army, like the USSR army before, and even earlier the British army, left on its own. There were no epic battles, crowds of “Taliban in slippers” did not go into “meat assaults”. As far as I remember, in general the US Army did not enter into battle when it left. The same “Taliban in slippers” guarded the Kabul airport, ensuring the withdrawal of the “defeated” US army. It should be remembered that the Taliban did not come out of nowhere, like chiriy on..., they came out of an American “overcoat”, ate and drank from the master’s table. It’s just that the owners decided to “let off the leash” the “wolf cubs” who had grown up and started to bare their teeth at their owners. Let them go "freely" until they are needed. The "leash" is unfastened, but the "collar" is not removed. That's the whole "defeat" of the American army in Afghanistan.

[gsev]

Quote from Anna E.

, crowds of “Taliban in slippers” did not go into “meat assaults”

Effective guerrilla tactics eliminate meat assaults. The Taliban, approximately 2 years before the withdrawal of US troops, concluded a truce with half of the Afghan security forces. In the last year of the US presence in Afghanistan, border guards and customs officers guarded the borders from smugglers and robbers and did not touch the Taliban.

France, Germany or Britain have a smaller army, including a reserve, except perhaps the Navy.

[Reader_lover]

Khodakovsky is fighting in a real war and took part in a real assault on the city. Another thing is that the Israelis would first simply destroy the enemy’s positions and would not have to take such risks.
But on the other hand, if the Palestinians were armed like the Ukrainians, it is unlikely that you would so easily dismiss his opinion. Only one day has passed since the failure of the IDF, and you are already starting to underestimate the Palestinians again.

He did not give any details, but transparently hinted at behind-the-scenes agreements between Tel Aviv and Kiev.

[75 Sergey]

This expert Khodakovsky carries like an ant.

[Vladimir M]

About the “crowd of poor people with machine guns in their hands without body armor or equipment,” Khodakovsky was lying a little. “A crowd of hungry people” is for the picture, but those who planned and carried out the seizure remained in the shadows. It’s like it was in Crimea - there was also a beautiful picture without shooting, units occupy objects without a fight...., but those who did not allow a clash and stopped the Nazis’ encroachments in time remained in the shadows. But in Kherson everything was different and the picture was completely different - “the entire population of Kherson is against Russia,” There were simply no units that had trained, worked and were not visible in Crimea.

[Vladimir M]

I’ll try to explain to the “hurray-patriots” what happened in Kherson. Kherson was taken quickly and competently by our units; you can look up the “Oilmen’s Park” on the Internet. But then the confusion began. The Russian Guard stood in the square and did not go into the “gateways”. “Locals” immediately appeared dissatisfied with the arrival of Russia. Then they really identified everyone and it turned out that they were Armed Forces of Ukraine, SBU officers and members of their families in disguise. So these “locals” with their rags practiced chants. But the locals were warned that if they marry Russia, they won’t live until the morning, everyone will be cut off in their apartments.... This didn’t happen in Crimea, it was all properly suppressed there. There, no one could approach a soldier of the Russian Army and shout something.

[75 Sergey]

Of course, the Jews will now get together and kick the Arabs, but I hope they are smart enough not to commit genocide and, in the end, create a single state for Jews and Arabs, two faiths, two nationalities - one state.

but I hope they are smart enough not to commit genocide and eventually make a single state for Jews and Arabs, two faiths, two nationalities - one state.

Even if they wanted to, it would not work out without heavy losses of Arab non-combatants, because Hamas is even more similar to the Hikhlovs than the Hikhlovs themselves, but the thing is that they don’t want to, and will sweep without looking back.

[Bolt cutter]

two faiths, two nationalities - one state.

The Arabs breed faster, and having achieved a numerical advantage in “one state”, they will begin to spread rot on the Jews.

This is impossible within the framework of the paradigm of the existence of the state of Israel as a state for Jews. Most people forget that Israel is a theocratic state, so Arabs, of course, can be citizens of Israel, but there can be no dual state

In Israel, there are guns and tanks with KAZ and there are soldiers and pilots, but they are commanded by blockheads. The height of their skill is to strike from the underside. And so for decades. And if Hamas had come not with 300 fighters, but with 3000, what a breakthrough there would have been until Tel Aviv. And they had to offer Dad as a mediator. It’s a disgrace. But those from the leadership who are guilty of the people of Israel will answer, maybe or maybe not. it and the management. They will assign the border surveillance video operator as the culprit and that’s all. Yes, I forgot the person on duty at the Alarm button, this very culprit is a traitor, a lazy person, not transgender and his dad is Russian.

“If, if there were no wine, if Satan had not invented vodka...” There is no place in history for “if...”. What happened happened the way it happened. That's exactly it and no other way. It’s the same as arguing: “oh, if we had crushed Kiev into a pile of rubble on February 24.02.2022, XNUMX, burying Ze and Co. under it, then ...” This and much else wouldn’t have happened, and what happened cannot be changed by any means "if".

Arrows gleam behind
Treading horse steppe expanse
It jumps Rabinovich,
Glorious Russian hero!
The hat is embroidered with gold
The sword burns like turquoise
For homeland, he is a defense,
For the offenders - a thunderstorm!
He leaves the field - he reaps and plows,
When he goes into the city, there are people there: “Rabinovich! Bread! Porridge!”
Feed everyone, pour it all!
And then, crouching aside
For orphans and the poor
He casts crowns
It puts teeth and bridges.
But fellow citizens are stubborn
Despite the glorious work,
All the same, they call Rabinovich “Jewish face”.

I don't like irresponsible talkers. Khodakovsky, served in the IDF or lived in Israel? Let him sit in the DPR and not blather. "expERd"..(((

As for when the Israelis criticize the Russian army, this is possible, but when the Russians criticize the Israeli army, then “sit still and don’t blather”?
Khodakovsky has the right to criticize anyone; he has been at war since 2014.

You know, a bunch of Israeli experts who have not served in the Russian and Ukrainian armies are happy to talk about these armies, Kedmi, for example, why can’t Khodakovsky talk about the actions of the Israeli army? Do you have some kind of double standards or is this something else?

[air wolf]

Soon, under the banner of Islam, the entire Arab world and the Taliban will go to Palestine; the Syrians and Persians will not stand aside! The USSR created Israel, and now Russia will destroy it
By spring there will be no Israel and Ukraine!

[Anna E]

"Soon" is an UNDEFINED PERIOD OF TIME. “Soon” is both five minutes and five thousand years. There is no ONE Islamic world, everyone looks after their own benefit, either trading, or fighting with their neighbors, or lying under Uncle Sam, or trying to growl at him.

Why write such garbage?
The quintessence of cheers for patriotism is your comment. Hooray for patriotism in the worst sense of the word

[Ryazan87]

Of course, there is no need to say that “the Israeli army is incapable of combat.” It is a well-equipped, modern army, still by far the strongest in the Middle East in open regular conflict. However, there are a number of problems.
Without touching on conspiracy theories about the “betrayal of the special services” (such hypotheses are the first to appear in the event of high-profile failures in any country), I would highlight the following:
1. The Israeli army is accustomed to police-type operations with low levels of resistance. At the same time, the Palestinian resistance itself was of a specific nature - suicide attacks, explosions, individual sabotage, sporadic launches of unguided rockets. Faced with an old enemy who unexpectedly organizes large-scale and creatively organized offensive actions, the Israelis are temporarily at a loss.
The insufficient level of readiness of the Israeli army to confront a stubborn enemy equipped with modern weapons was already shown by the conflict in Lebanon in 2006. But this was only the first call.
2. The Israelis were very careless in analyzing the experience of the war in Ukraine. Or at least the experience of fighting with militants of an unnamed state in Syria and Iraq. Although they should have understood the threat that homemade drones pose even to modern armored vehicles. There was a certain "resting on laurels".
3. Excessive passion for inclusive experiments in the Israeli army, to the detriment of its combat effectiveness. National defense is too serious an area and should not become a field for experiments in the socialization of all sorts of inappropriate characters. You can indulge yourself as much as you like with the massive recruitment of women into line units, promoting autistic people, transgender people and other similar “figures,” but the results of all this nonsense will be sad and will negatively affect the morale of the army and its ability to kill the enemy. What to do, the military profession is still, as they would say now, a stronghold of “toxic masculinity” and an extremely dismissive attitude towards individual characteristics, freedom of personal expression and mental deviations.

[jaroff]

I watch our news on TV and read the media, and I get the impression that Russian media correspondents are only present on the territory of official Israel. The Arabs do not have their own stories (not attached from other sources)

[UAZ 452]

I’m almost sure that our media do not have their own correspondents in the Gaza Strip and haven’t had for a long time. What kind of content would they have generated from there before yesterday? Who would read and watch it?

[Omega options]

The US secretly encouraged the Palestinians to attack Israel.
Everything is going according to the Pentagon's plan.

Israel will use nuclear weapons against Syria and Iran.

[Roma 1977]

And what will this give? Tactical nuclear strike on Damascus and Tehran? Well, let’s say one hundred thousand dead, two hundred thousand. Not the point. What's next? Uniting all Muslim countries against Israel? Or even just Iran and Syria with all their armed forces plus foreign Muslim volunteers. Will Israel really survive? After all, the former strategic reserves of ammunition burned in Ukraine, and new ones need to be replenished over the years.

[And Us Rat]

Quote: Roma-1977

former strategic ammunition reserves burned in Ukraine

Don't write nonsense. These were not Israel’s “strategic reserves,” but a cache of US Marines.
Israel's strategic reserves are at least an order of magnitude larger than the unfortunate 150K shells, and it certainly did not give its reserves to anyone.

Quote: Roma-1977

Tactical nuclear strike on Damascus and Tehran?

It’s also nonsense, if it comes to nuclear weapons (and for this it is necessary to bring Israel to the brink of destruction), no one will waste their time on tactical strikes on one lousy city.

Quote: Roma-1977

What's next?

And then isolation following the example of the DPRK.

Quote: Roma-1977

Uniting all Muslim countries against Israel?

Nobody wants to be the next one in a thermonuclear fire.

Quote: Roma-1977

Or even just Iran and Syria with all their armed forces

If it comes to nuclear weapons, there will be no Syria and no Iran. There will be two empty, contaminated areas.

[solar]

You exaggerate the capabilities of nuclear weapons. Especially Israel's nuclear weapons.

Enough for Iran and a little left for Syria.

[Ulum]

So the Jews are already begging America for shells and missiles. So don't whistle

[Anna E]

What's the point of that? Military sense? Will all the opponents immediately crawl to the Knesset on their knees and ask for surrender? Oh my! This, on the contrary, will give the local “hawks” a free hand, and then Israel will have to deal with regular armies, and not a bunch of “Taliban in shale.” The armies in Iran and Syria are far from operatic. Besides, who said that Iran does not have nuclear weapons?

[And Us Rat]

Quote from Anna E.

The armies in Iran and Syria are far from operatic.

In comparison with the IDF, the Syrian army is no stronger than Hezbollah, since after a week of fighting it will also fight in slippers and carts.
Iran simply does not have adequate logistics for this, so its army is like a stop signal to a hare, even if it were 100500 mulens. He has nothing to display other than drones and MRBMs.

Quote from Anna E.

Besides, who said that Iran does not have nuclear weapons?

What's the point? Israel will use its own when there is nothing to lose, but Iran? First? Well, he still won’t survive Israel then. He doesn’t have the means for a disarming strike; he needs three hundred warheads (and the knowledge of where to hit), and even then the submarines will remain. And no one has canceled the “dead hand” system.

[Prisoner]

How greedy some people are for media. Don’t feed me bread, let me say something on camera.

[rotmistr60]

If suddenly they are faced with a more organized enemy, the Israelis will be in for a big surprise: their army is not combat-ready

But Israel, on the laurels of its victories, really relaxed, believing that it could cope with anyone who encroached on its security with one movement of the hand. And then “anyone” came and, moreover, a long-time enemy of the Jews and... Of course, it is not correct to compare Israel with Armenia, but the situation is very similar.

[Lieutenant Colonel of the USSR Air Force in stock]

Quote: Reader

Here you go. It starts again. It doesn’t take much intelligence to drive through and capture a bunch of armored vehicles and weapons. Take hundreds of people hostage. And then go home calmly. What a little thing. Are they stupid people, holding on to what they have captured with only machine guns and grenade launchers. Destroying an expensive Merkava with a cheap drone is also a small thing. Well, with this attitude, a repeat of this is guaranteed.

Can you give me the closest historical analogies outside of Israel? Or is it something else?

[AdAstra]

"Khodakovsky: When confronted with an organized enemy, the Israelis will be in for a surprise; their army is not combat-ready"

"Dreamer! You called me!"

[Leonid Dymov]

The situation in Israel is somewhat similar to the Russian one. Israel was mired in political squabbles, and the Russian authorities were flirting with the 5th and 6th columns. War consolidates society and puts everything in its place.

[UAZ 452]

In some ways you are right, but there is one thing: the fifth column in Russia is the government. Do you propose to consolidate around it?

[storm]

The Russian authorities flirted with the 5th and 6th columns.

5,6,7...the columns are the branches of the disparate government of the Russian Federation, where each branch rows under itself just to have time to snatch more rights and resources...
They don’t care about the country and the people for a long time - they are like a cancerous tumor that urgently needs to be stopped before the whole body gets sick.

[bone1]

Apparently a great specialist in the Israeli army?

[Ulum]

He is a specialist in modern warfare, an experienced field officer. And the IDF is a punitive army against women and children.

[Kip2]

In what place is she not combat-ready...

[storm]

If suddenly they are faced with a more organized enemy, the Israelis will be in for a big surprise: their army is not combat-ready

- writes Alexander Khodakovsky

The Israelis, having mobilized 300 thousand people in two days, once again poked their faces at the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, showing in practice how mobilization should be carried out and what mobilization readiness of the state is.
The lists of those mobilized are ready, the recruiting stations are ready, the property has not been stolen or sold, weapons and equipment are in combat readiness.

[Singaporean]

A flock of barmalei in Budenovsk was able to capture and kill hundreds of citizens of a nuclear power.
A pack of barbarians destroyed Rome.
What other conclusions can we draw about the fighting capabilities of the strongest from one-off raids in flip-flops?

Israel also knows how to surprise. Setting up another Rimon-20 for an organized army is not a problem. But that doesn't say much.

[decimalegio]

I have always appreciated the analyzes of Alexander Khodakovsky. However, today some pages of history are forgotten: from the Trojan Horse to Pearl Harbor, Operation Barbarossa and 11/XNUMX: this is how surprise attacks changed history. But what ultimately matters is the reaction of those who are attacked.

[Ivan№One]

Khodakovsky is so wrong. This time
Is he engaged in his direct responsibilities? That's two

Let him worry about the combat effectiveness of our army. Now the most important thing is to finish the SVO with a victory and there is no need to be distracted.

That’s not what the person whose units participate in the SVO thinks about
