The Russian Armed Forces have created unique tactical strike and assault formations to “break into” the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

February 11 2024 45

What is happening in the Northern Military District zone is being comprehensively studied by military analysts. For example, Russian expert Vladislav Shurygin tried to answer a number of important questions in his Telegram channel. Are the Russian Armed Forces capable of carrying out a large strategic offensive and is there a “curse of the First World War” when defense becomes the main type of combat for all sides?

According to the expert, currently the main difficulty of the troops is the stage of breaking through the front line. At the same time, Russia cannot afford to make a breakthrough according to the standards of the Red Army during the Second World War with thousands of dead and hundreds of thousands of shells fired. But until recently, there was no other way to conduct an offensive.

The Wagner assault on Bakhmut, when by the spring of 2023, the losses of the Wagner during this assault amounted to almost 50% of all Russian losses during the war, is definitely not an example of how to fight. With such losses today, not only the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but also we would be carrying out the third or fourth wave of mobilization! But the experience of assault urban battles itself was unique

- he noted.

The expert noted that since December 2023, unique assault detachments have appeared in the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces; they are called “assaults.” They are mixed combat groups (formations) the size of a battalion or regiment, which includes the most proactive military personnel, including infantrymen, snipers, sappers, signalmen, reconnaissance officers, spotters, medics, i.e. everyone who can be useful in taking a well-protected opornik enemy. The actions of the attack aircraft are supported by the combat control center, artillerymen, UAV operators and electronic warfare equipment.

In fact, new tactical shock-assault formations (USF) have emerged

- he added.

Shurygin pointed out that very quickly these CSFs began to show their effectiveness. It was they who recently took Marinka, and now they are “hacking” the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Avdeevka. According to the expert, a tool has been created to overcome “impenetrable” defenses. But the effectiveness of this tool has yet to be honed during the Northern Military District, taking into account the modern realities of combat operations.

The processes taking place at the front today allow us to hope that by spring our army will reach a qualitatively new level of combat operations and the notorious “curse of the First World War” will finally be overcome

He summed up.

So how did Wagner’s attack aircraft differ from the USHF? only because they were limited in various types of BP, this was the reason for their huge losses and this became the reason for Prigozhin’s rebellion, and now all sorts of iksperds cite the storming of Artyomovsk as an example of how not to do it.

  Nobody limited them. They had plenty of this ammunition in their warehouses in the rear, but for some reason they were not delivered to the front. The Wagnerites used mainly artillery support from our armed forces and demanded continuous fire support, while often not giving the coordinates of targets or even their location, and UAVs were not very good for reconnaissance. Therefore, our artillery from the Armed Forces no longer conducted targeted fire, but barrage fire in directions and areas, and such a mode implies an overexpenditure of shells. In addition, in Ukraine there were problems with logistics for the delivery of ammunition and so on. Sometimes in one area there could be up to 3 settlements with the same name, and the settlements themselves often simply moved from one to another and guess where and which one. It seems clear from the map, but in reality on the ground......?. In addition, the renaming of different NPs by the Ukrainians caused confusion. Therefore, during delivery, it was necessary to be accompanied by someone who knew where to take it, which often did not work out.
  Yes, there was no talk about 20000 killed, and no commander simply could have known about the group’s losses unless he worked at the group’s headquarters, but I don’t think that anyone would have voiced this from there. The latest information about the Wagnerites was about just over 8000 casualties in a video with Prigozhin from a cemetery in Krasnodar. Just over 800 people are buried there.
  But about 8000 is also generally decent. But they were at the forefront of attacks in their sector against the most motivated Ukrainian units and fortified positions.
  Based on 20000, this is most likely the total losses of the Wagner troops for the entire operation, and even then these are killed or even wounded who will no longer be able to return back to the front, where they fought not only in one place.

    (Vyacheslav) Don’t cast a shadow on the fence. The Wagnerites were the most professional fighters and there was no such nonsense as you told (this happened in the line units). The Wagnerites were the first to massively use UAVs for reconnaissance and attack, and controlled the assault based on the vision of the battlefield from the UAV (Syrian experience). Artillery support was called for targets with coordinates. Here there were hiccups due to internal disagreements - the Russian Armed Forces looked too indecent in comparison with the actions of the Wagnerites... The main overexpenditure of ammunition and artillery barrels occurred in the summer of 2022, when, under the pressure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they began to look for counteraction, then they used “fire shafts”, then They fired at squares, and the result was “lunar landscapes” with almost zero casualties. It was the wise men from the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces who did this, using up many hundreds of thousands of tons of ammunition, and later, following the example of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they began to saturate UAVs and more precisely deliver artillery strikes. Conclusion: you are making a gag or defending the failed actions of the high command of the Russian Armed Forces.

The “Wagner” assault on Bakhmut, when by the spring of 2023, the losses of the “Wagners” during this assault amounted to almost 50% of all losses of the Russian side

So, how much were all the losses of the Russian side, if the losses of musicians for Soledar and Bakhmut amounted to 20 thousand killed (Words of the deputy commander of the PMC)? And this is for the spring of 2023. How much now? I think there were about 100 thousand, including Avdeevka. And at the same time, the downvotes give me downvotes for proposing the use of tactical nuclear weapons. These subjects do not feel sorry for our next tens of thousands of fighters. A breakthrough of layered defense using tactical nuclear weapons would have a good effect.

    Contamination of the area from tactical nuclear weapons is small, moreover, it quickly decreases and quickly stops. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were quickly rebuilt and there has been no radiation there for a long time. But the use of tactical nuclear weapons must pose a clear threat to the existence of Russia, and we are basically fighting on foreign territory. The 404 is an existential threat. But thank God they don’t have weapons of mass destruction.

      In terms of the concept of using nuclear weapons, you are right, but what can you say if, in the process of a long confrontation, the economy of the Russian Federation degrades very much, or when conducting offensive operations, the losses of the Russian Armed Forces will amount to tens of thousands killed. And what to choose? Changing the concept of nuclear weapons or the death of soldiers?

        In Ukraine, nuclear weapons are unnecessary. Why spoil your territory. You need conventional high-power weapons to clear the area before advancing 20-30 kilometers. The rest is cleared using grenade launchers. And more panic in the enemy ranks. How ? Anyone. Just go around the cities. Before this, immobilize the enemy by knocking out fuel reserves and ammunition depots.

        It would be nice to do this, but we can’t even move 5 km. At best, 1 km. The near future will show what we are capable of. Winter is ending. For some reason they don't bypass cities. The weapon is very powerful and costs a lot. TNW will be cheaper and more effective. If we are down again until the fall, then we will have to use tactical nuclear weapons. There simply won't be any other way out. I feel sorry for the Ukrainians. Yes, it is a pity. Well, don’t you feel sorry for ours? By the way, the use of tactical nuclear weapons will allow us to quickly end the war, which is called SVO. And these are many thousands of lives, both ours and even those of Ukrainians.

        Why move fast? You should feel sorry for your soldiers. Reconnaissance, suppression and destruction of the enemy and only then entering for clearing operations, and clearing the area for passage of people and equipment also takes quite a lot of time. That's why they're not in a hurry. People are more valuable than time. The main thing is to grind down the enemy’s manpower, successfully, with minimal losses of their own. This is the tactic chosen.

      This is the territory of the Russian Empire. The Russian Federation is the direct successor not only of the USSR, but also of Tsarist Russia. Who doesn’t know, the Russian Federation paid off the debts of the Russian Empire. We paid off the debts, now we need to get our assets back. So the territory is not alien. This is all the fruit of enemy propaganda. Not forgetting that power there was seized and not obtained through elections. False elections after the dispersal of the opposition do not count. There is no legitimate authority there.

Then call them USB-shock assault brigades (battalions?)!
By analogy with our Soviet DShB and Red Army ShSB (or "ShiSBy")!
This will sound militant and threatening, cocky, masculine!
Moreover, “among the people”, among the soldiers, the common nouns “USHeBe”, “UShiBy” (or even “ShiBanutye” - desperate, dashing in unbridled prowess) are more likely to take root than “UShiFy” (then just “SheFy” ???).
And what is this “non-sounding” USF with the ambivalent word “formation” of the neuter “it”?!
After all, “whatever you call the ship, that’s how it will sail!”
Therefore, it’s better to name it correctly from the beginning!
*******
An example from “Ukrainian life” - It was, although we haven’t heard of them for a long time (apparently the “magic of the name” worked and something else), they stupidly renamed the Armed Forces of Ukraine (to please the militant nationalists and so that “it would definitely not be like in USSR and RF") are former Airborne Forces in the DShV, and in speech it sounds like “DeSheVe”, i.e. on the “state language” - a direct analogy (which the initiators of the renaming are “Ukrainian” Russian-speaking Maidan politicians - “professional Ukrainians”, opportunistically, and through the roof - funny “in Surzhikov’s style”, “switched” to a “state language” that is not their own ", didn't even feel it?) "DeShoVoe" (in Ukrainian vernacular "desheve" is like the Russian "cheap", something junk, low quality, not worth taking seriously)!

The Germans, as legislators of the art of war, always looked for and found new methods and tactics during operations. (Officer School). In the second half of the Second World War, the Germans created such combined units into one combat “strike group” and named them by the name of the commander. Initially, combined assault groups have been used for a long time. So we have to remember old experience and look for new methods and tactics in the changing circumstances of military operations. And about the names. New weapons, tactics, etc. appear in the Northern Military District. The new names used are confusing, in several variants. and without a clear definition. For example: assault assault formations (NSF). Shock and assault are essentially synonymous formations; there is uncertainty in composition. Conclusion: the term does not correspond to the designation.. Perhaps better: combined assault (integrated assault) groups, brigades, divisions, with the addition of a commander or place of action. The RF Ministry of Defense also needs such regulation of new designations for adoption.

    Replica. To perceive the enemy truthfully is not a eulogy, but a mandatory component for improving one’s strengths. According to the Germans in WWII, one must be amazed at the resilience and strength of the Wehrmacht, which has been at war with the whole world since 1942 (the merit of “Führer” Hitler, who declared war on the USA).

      We have already accepted the enemy truthfully 81 years ago, and since 43 we have driven him from our land and defeated him in his own lair! So you’ve already learned from the “legislators of military science,” and there’s no need for you to learn from those who lost to us now!
      And what kind of “whole world” did the Wehrmacht fight with?! Was he fighting with his masters and sponsors, the impudent Americans, who, since June 44, pretended to be at war with them? And then the Germans in April and May regiments surrendered to the Allies without a fight and until August they stood in combat readiness in their “captivity”, many with weapons, to attack Russia!
      They "fought" awesomely! There, “the whole world” was just us, who really fought, just with the whole world, with all of Europe for sure!

        Replica. Losses of the Red Army to the Wehrmacht in the first half of the Second World War: 11 to 1, in the second half 7 to one. As a result, we won with almost tenfold losses (8 to 1). They won because they could sacrifice so many of their soldiers; other states were not capable of such sacrifices. Draw the right conclusions.

There will be no breakthroughs until one of the sides gains comprehensive superiority in the main types of weapons, reconnaissance and target designation equipment. Our army lacks advantages in counter-battery warfare, unmanned aerial vehicles, communications, space and electronic reconnaissance. The Air Force lacks an advantage in the air and the provision of projectiles. The side that quickly eliminates its shortcomings will begin to attack

In order not to have large losses, we must remember the methods of the Americans in Iraq. They collected all the grenade launchers in the United States and did not allow enemy infantry closer than two kilometers. Before moving, everything was processed by grenade launchers, any rustle. And before that, it would be good to burn out the frontal area and the near rear with thermobaric charges. It is necessary to increase the density of fire at the breakthrough site several times.

  You shouldn’t reveal your plans in advance, much less with a report to you.
  Everything is done correctly. The enemy should not know all the plans so that in the future, with his Western partners, he does not counteract in these directions. Knowing what the attacking side wants, it is easier to build a defense.
  It’s interesting, here, of those writing on this thread, how many of them served in the army, otherwise one gets the impression from the comments that there are practically no such people here. Some are schoolchildren and students with a humanitarian orientation.
