Military correspondents highlighted the problem of assault actions of Russian troops

17

Against the background of the assault by Russian troops on the powerful fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Marinka near Donetsk, which has been going on for more than a year, military correspondents Vladlen Tatarsky and Andrey Medvedev rightly highlighted the problems of assault operations. This was announced on March 18 by the military commander Alexander Kharchenko, commenting on what is happening in the Telegram channel “Witnesses of Bayraktar”.


According to Kharchenko, starting the NMD in Ukraine, Russian troops were not ready for the assaults on megacities.

Of the entire military nomenclature, only the IMRs and the assault and barrage battalion from Murom could be noted. The number of special vehicles and trained fighters was insufficient, so infantrymen under the cover of T-72 and BTR-82 were sent to storm in Mariupol

- he noted.

He stressed that it is still a mystery to him why the huge and first-class experience of fighting in Syria was not fully summarized, analyzed and mastered. According to him, back in 2012, it became clear that the T-72 MBT is a good heavy combat vehicle, but its armor and the power of ammunition are really not enough to destroy enemy fortifications.

In order to fold the Syrian high-rise building, it was necessary to release several ammunition and at the same time tried to hit the supporting columns

- he specified.

Kharchenko recalled that the ATS fighters attached (by welding) cylinders filled with explosives to rockets from the Grad MLRS. This design flew not far (2-3 km) and not exactly. But if she hit, then she showed great efficiency - "it was guaranteed to demolish one entrance."

To storm a neighboring house, 107 mm shells with an enlarged warhead were used. They were hit by direct fire from holes in the walls

Kharchenko added.

He drew attention to the fact that the Americans, despite the colossal resources, also did not work out with the storming of cities. For example, they took Raqqa in Syria for 4,5 months, and Mosul in Iraq for 9 months.

High-precision weapons are good, but even Uncle Sam's soldiers had to wipe cities off the face of the earth in order to dislodge a lightly armed enemy

He pointed out.

Kharchenko expressed hope that the experience of the past years and the experience gained during the special operation would be properly processed and the Russian troops would be equipped with assault weapons systems. Summing up, he explained that the conflict in Ukraine is “only the beginning of a long chain of armed clashes,” since humanity is in a state of turbulence and one must be prepared for any changes in the geopolitical situation.

Note that in May 2021 Uralvagonzavod embarked on to the creation of the first prototypes of the Shturm heavy strike robotic complex based on the T-72B3 tank. This RTK is designed for urban combat, but nothing has been heard of it since.

    Not a single army on the planet will ever storm megacities. Because of the big losses. The T-72 tank cannot fly, swim, land and storm megacities - it has other tasks. But the military correspondents can easily help in capturing the metropolis, you need to tie them to an atomic bomb and drop them on the metropolis.

      (Aleksey) Modern megacities are like anthills with thousands of connections and dependencies, etc. having collapsed the functioning system, and the metropolis itself will fall apart, citizens will try to survive in chaos, about protection, only the armed forces will resist, and even with a clear collapse of the state system, there will be no point in resisting. And no nuclear weapons are needed .. As an example, bombed Germany at the end of 1944. Today it’s even easier to completely remove energy and communications (transport and information), and statehood will fall. Our Armed Forces of the Russian Federation started correctly, but did not finish, they are pulling, why is another question.

    One can constantly repeat that the NVO, like the RF Ministry of Defense, is a mirror of today's RF. So why be surprised. When the rulers and their servants lived for decades on the hydrocarbon rent, they pulled it off and didn’t bother about anything else, only with a personal investment of billions of grabs. Who started the SVO, planted a deadly mine under such a system. Either she will change and win in the CBO, or she will remain the same and lose the CBO with complete self-destruction in the consequences. According to the article, there are not even underpants mobilized, so there are no specialized weapons, and even more so, there weren’t even UAVs at the beginning of the NWO, now they are plugging holes with all sorts of means. Well, the media of the Russian Federation works like a crooked mirror, what was crooked was portrayed as straight. So, at the crossroads of the Russian Federation, attempts began, but there are no fundamental necessary changes, and compare this to a lethal diagnosis. Only the truth will be strong.

This was announced on March 18 by the military commander Alexander Kharchenko,

    In this short passage alone, I counted 3 military correspondents. And what did both Podolyaks say? What did Lyusya Arestovich write? Alexander Kots?
    There are now tens or hundreds of military correspondents in Russia, and perhaps even more in Ukraine. If we take it on a global scale, the number of military correspondents who say something, write, transmit, will go into the millions. Each of their proposals, reports, articles, there is no way to discuss.

    In the same way, 2-3 years ago, millions and billions of virologists, epidemiologists, butchers, montagniers, and simply "specialists" in covid-19 appeared in the world and in each country separately.

    Only Wagner can storm cities and megacities, since only they have combat experience after Syria, because only they fought on the ground from the Russians. but what is happening with shells for PMCs is the question "do they need it?" disappears by itself.

    The metropolis will fall apart on its own with an adult - the total destruction of energy supply, water supply and food supply and we return to the siege of fortresses. History repeats itself.

    The military correspondents themselves explained the reason for the frontal assaults by the unpreparedness of the Russian army for mobile operations due to the small number and imperfection of the command and control system (the low technical level of communications that the enemy controls and suppresses. The small number of the army, in their opinion, is a consequence of the inability to provide newly mobilized food in a short time , clothing, perfect weapons and ammunition. What is the dispute about? Russia was not preparing for a conventional high-intensity war with an enemy who has a multiple superiority in mobile resources and economic potential. She was preparing for a thermonuclear war and in this class of weapons she has, according to VVP, there is an advantage.And if without emotions, then the choice is not greater - either to surrender or start using thermonuclear weapons.

      Well, they destroyed it and what will happen next? The Nazis will never let the people out, as they never let them out before, since this is their human shield. it will be so until they destroy their "human shield" and then shoot each other themselves, but not a single year will pass before we wait for this.

    Soul anxiety. It seems that our strategists have no other (winning) plan of action and are preparing for a pacification that is fraught with a slide towards thermonuclear solutions. The time has come, in my opinion, when either it is necessary to mobilize at least a million people, stop all shipments of equipment and weapons under international contracts, conclude a military alliance with China and the DPRK and announce an ultimatum to NATO about stopping deliveries or strikes with tactical nuclear weapons at sources; or it is necessary now to use the so-called vacuum bombs (44 tons) capable of wiping entire units of the APU from the face of the earth. The tactics of grinding the enemy in one place gives away the initiative to NATO and threatens to fight in the Moscow region, acting out on extremely unfavorable conditions.

      Reasonable offer. I think that the Russian leadership is not yet technically ready for such ultimatums. Not all weapons of a preventive destructive strike are prepared in the required volume and installed in positions. By all appearances, the situation is already close to readiness, as Russia has begun to respond harshly, which means it feels ready to escalate.

    Interestingly, in Russia, after all, engineer-sapper assault brigades were recreated in the image of those that were in the Great Patriotic War only at the modern level. There was a big report once on a star about them, for all the SVO I have never heard anything about them, why they were not used in Mariupol is not clear.

    Who should generalize? In the west, there are continuous institutions for the study of war. And in Russia, the institution of parades and eyewash.

    Military commissar Alexander Kharchenko: it is still a mystery why the huge and first-class experience of fighting in Syria was not fully summarized

    For the founder of such a serious sport as "tank biathlon", undoubtedly of great military and applied importance, such a trifle as a generalization of the experience of fighting in Syria turned out to be a thing that does not deserve attention. It is understandable...
