Russia has officially appointed General Surovijin, commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces, as the commander-in-chief of the Russian Army on the battlefield of Russia and Ukraine. So, why did the Russian army ask an aerospace commander to command the army's operations?
In fact, this was first of all a major blood change, and all the defeated generals were removed from office. This includes appointing General Surovikin as the commander-in-chief of the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, General Beldnikov as the commander of the Western Military Region, General Muradov as the commander of the Eastern Military Region, General Sokolov as the commander of the Black Sea Fleet , General Mizintev as the deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense in charge of logistics, and Chief Kadyrov of Chechen as the leader of the National Guard.
General Surovijin is 55 years old and was born in Siberia on October 11, 1966. He is actually an army general. Since he joined the army, Surovijin has been in the Russian army's Mofan Division. At the earliest, he was the 2nd Taman Division of the Elite Guards in the Moscow Garrison, later in the 201st Mofan Division stationed in Tajikistan, and later in the 34th Mofan Division of the Ural Military Region and the 42nd Mofan Division stationed in Chechnya.
From a platoon leader to a division commander, and finally became the commander of the military region. At the same time, in 2017, he became the commander of the air and space army. Surovigin is the first commander-in-chief in the history of the Soviet Air Force and the Russian Air Force since 1920 to be able to fly and have no experience in the work of the air force. Under the leadership of Surovigin, the Russian Aerospace Forces has basically lost the combat capability of large formations.
Although Surovigin also served as the commander of Russian in Syria, when he was in office, several major wars in Syria had been completed, and the rest was a confrontation with the Syrian opposition supported by Turkey in the northern region.
Surovijin is truly famous during the 819 Incident. Surovijin was the only guard 2nd Tamanmo Infantry Division battalion commander who fired at the time. Afterwards, he was arrested and detained for 7 months. Yeltsin saw Surovikin's loyalty and immediately ordered "Releas Major Surovikin immediately!"
Later, when he was serving in the 201st base in Tajikistan, he was sentenced to one year suspended for one year. Finally, because of his loyalty, he was admitted to , Fulongzhi Military Academy, , and studied.
General Surovijin's fighting style is not the kind of person who is very varied and good at using various dazzling tactics. General Surovijin is the kind of very strict and strict type of general who is mainly concerned about military discipline.
Russian media and military experts call him "one of the most severe military leaders", with strict requirements on subordinates and rich military experience. Yevgeny Prigo, founder of the Russian Wagner Mercenary Group, said he is the most professional and knowledgeable commander in the Russian army.
Now the Russian army's discipline is loose, morale is low, and organization is scattered. Therefore, Putin and Shoigu chose the strict General Surovijin as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, in order to strictly enforce military discipline, punish officers who do not fight actively, and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Russian army.
, especially when Russia may formally declare war. Medvedev said that if the Ukrainian army dares to attack Crimea Bridge , it will be hit by a doomsday attack. At the same time, regarding the attack on the Crimean Bridge, Russian State Duma MP Oleg Molozov said that the attack on the Crimean Bridge is no longer a provocation, but a "declaration of war without rules". If "the rightful counterattack" is not adopted, similar incidents will occur more often.
The task of counterattacking and attacking Ukraine must be completed by Surovikin. Let’s see now whether General Surovijin can quickly rectify the Russian military’s discipline on the front line and restore the Russian military’s combat effectiveness as soon as possible. At the same time, we will tactically confront and restrain the Ukrainian commander-in-chief Zalujine.
Strictly speaking, Surovikin's task was very arduous. When the war started in 224, the elite Russian army almost disappeared. Whether Surovigin can combine the current incomplete Russian troops and mobilized troops into an army with strict discipline and capable of fighting tough battles in a short period of time, we must continue to observe.
need ruthless people on the battlefield, but ruthlessness alone is not enough. After all, on the battlefield, no one is more ruthless than General Dvornikov, and no one is more ruthless than General Gerasimov . The key to fighting large-scale wars is organization, integration, scheduling and logistics support capabilities.
But no matter what, Surovijin is also a general in the battlefield. There are two generals in the Russian army. One is the battlefield faction that likes to visit the front line, and the other is the table faction that fiddled with documents and maps in the command center in the rear every day.
