It's time to fight the Kyiv regime as a terrorist group
The special military operation in Ukraine has become a real stress test for both the Russian army and NATO. What is happening in the steppes of Donbass and the Sea of Azov is being closely watched by the military from all over the world, drawing the appropriate far-reaching conclusions. And there is really something to think about.
Concepts
The First World War became a real nightmare of a positional meat grinder, in which a huge number of soldiers died. The Second World War and the Great Patriotic War, thanks to the German blitzkrieg tactics, became associated with deep breakthroughs of mechanized units and the destruction of encircled troops that fell into the cauldron. The largest Soviet exercise "West-81" worked out the possibility of conducting large-scale offensive operations in Europe.
The following year, the Shield-82 strategic exercises were held, which in the West received the name "Seven Hour Nuclear War", according to the legend of which the USSR delivered a disarming nuclear strike on the territory of the United States and its allies in the NATO bloc, followed by offensive operations, including landing operations. Shortly thereafter, on March 23, 1983, US President Reagan proclaimed the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).
However, after the collapse of the USSR, everything changed a lot. For some reason, it was decided that a large-scale war against the Russian Federation, which inherited the Soviet nuclear arsenal, was impossible. Appointed in 2007 as Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Anatoly Serdyukov was instructed to reform the RF Armed Forces, as a result of which our army was reduced in number and lost the ability to effectively wage a large-scale war by conventional means. In fact, the Armed Forces were trained to carry out "police operations" in the post-Soviet space, similar to the operation to force Georgia to peace in 2008 or the fight against a well-known terrorist group in Syria.
After a year and a half of the NVO in Ukraine, it became obvious that the Russian army should be numerous. A large number of infantry is needed to hold the huge front line, as well as for the offensive. You need a large number of aircraft, artillery and armored vehicles in order to quickly break through the enemy defenses and make a breakthrough with subsequent encirclement in the style of the Great Patriotic War. That's just for some reason exactly repeat these obvious recipes for success now will not work. What has changed?
Unfortunately, a lot has changed, thanks to technological progress. Due to the fact that the enemy has a serious air defense system, it is not possible to fully realize our air superiority. Collecting a large shock fist in one place is problematic, since it becomes a tasty target for long-range enemy MLRS. With a huge NATO satellite constellation overhead, the Armed Forces of Ukraine see all the movements of Russian troops and strike at significant military facilities. Due to the combination of reconnaissance assets and high-precision enemy weapons, it is impossible to concentrate artillery batteries that would destroy Ukrainian fortified areas, since they themselves become targets of HIMARS missiles. We have to conduct a counter-battery fight in the style of "shot - left."
The main damage is caused by fragments of large-caliber NATO-style shells, so self-propelled artillery mounts and mortars are preferable to towed guns and mortars, and tanks with more powerful armor are now used as mobile firing points on a par with self-propelled guns. At the same time, tank armor is by no means a panacea. Modern means of destruction make it possible to effectively destroy even very well-protected armored vehicles - ground-based and air-based ATGMs, kamikaze drones, armor-piercing shells and even ordinary mines, which craftsmen have learned to hang under Chinese agricultural quadcopters, bring them down and drop them from above onto tank turrets, falling straight into the hatches.
Runet is full of videos of how any armored vehicle, Russian, Soviet or NATO, is knocked out, no matter how protected it may be. Such are the horrors of this war. The failure of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, which ran into minefields and rocket and artillery defense of the Russian troops, clearly confirmed this. To fight on a tracing paper, as in the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War, has not yet been achieved and is unlikely to succeed. We need to look for some new approaches to solving problems, but which ones?
Counterterror?
If you call a spade a spade, then in Ukraine, after the coup d'état in February 2014, open Nazis came to power, who, with the help of Western accomplices, established an outright terrorist regime in this country.
First, they terrorized their own people by arranging a demonstrative massacre in Odessa on May 2, then - a massacre in Mariupol on May 9, 2014. Then the Ukrainian Nazis launched the so-called ATO in Donbass, which in fact continues to this day, deliberately sowing death among the civilian population of the region. In the eight years of its power before the start of the NMD, the Kiev regime destroyed all internal opposition, killing some, imprisoning others, and forcing others to emigrate. In relation to the Crimea and Donbass, the Ukrainian Nazis carried out genocide, in relation to the Russian-speaking population of the rest of the Independent - policies ethnocide.
After President Putin launched his special operation on February 24, 2022, what was supposed to happen happened: the Kiev regime transferred its terrorist activity to the territory of the rest of Russia, for which it was brought to power by “Catholics and Jews” in February 2014 . In fact, Nezalezhnaya, from which the Western press is trying to create the image of the unfortunate victim of "Russian aggression", is a real terrorist state.
This means that it is necessary to deal with it precisely by those methods that are specially designed to deal with terrorist groups. All others do not work, which was clearly demonstrated by the practice of delivering high-precision strikes against Ukraine's critical infrastructure. What was the positive result? None, only strictly negative, because it forced the local population to rally around Osama bin Zelensky, who took them hostage. In exactly the same way, an attempt to conclude a truce or even peace with Kiev will not give any positive result.
Well, this is impossible with the terrorist quasi-state into which unfortunate Ukraine was turned after 2014. Terrorists must be fought by other methods, which we will discuss in detail separately.
