Ne znam da li je bilo na temi, ali možda nije zgoreg ponoviti. Ruski vojni stručnjak Ruslan Puhov poprilično je ocrnio Putinovu armiju i njen učinak u Ukrajini. Puhov je, inače, vrlo blizak Kremlju, član je ekspertskog tima pri ruskoj vladi i saradnik ministarstva odbrane. Ukratko: sve je staro, tenkovi ne mogu da prežive, avijacija je loša, nema dovoljno vojnika, jesen će biti teška.
The methods of the First World War (let's face it) do not work, especially if you do not have superiority over the enemy in infantry. The combination of modern reconnaissance means (including unmanned ones) in combination with a large number of high-precision weapons could solve the problem of the enemy's positional front – but this is where we lack. And plus, we simply do not have enough troops to effectively advance in another direction.
Simply put, in the event of an artillery duel, they are more likely to win us. In general, the use of small drones has made a kind of revolution in the use of artillery. We actually missed this revolution and now we have to catch up "on the go".
This operation once again confirmed the thesis that you can launch hundreds, thousands of unguided projectiles, which, it seems, are cheap, but all this power is leveled by two guided missiles that accurately hit the target.
Our aviation does not have enough high-precision ammunition and accurate means of detection and target designation, and secondly, there is an unsuppressed Ukrainian air defense operating on Soviet systems (S-300, Buk, etc.). In addition, the Ukrainians received a large number of MANPADS. As a result, aviation cannot freely operate effectively either from high and medium altitudes or from low altitudes, which significantly limits its effectiveness, including in suppressing the same Ukrainian artillery and in influencing enemy troops. To put it bluntly, we don't have air supremacy.
Any war is a testing ground. For us it was Syria, for the West it is Ukraine. There is nothing shameful here, it would be foolish not to take advantage of it.
