The outcome of a war is often not subject to people's tendencies, and this is the case with the Russian-Ukrainian war.
In February this year, after Russia suddenly launched an attack on Ukraine , especially the precise strike of long-range weapons at the beginning, resulting in heavy losses from Ukraine when the war was launched. In addition, as soon as the war started, the Russian army launched a fierce attack on Ukraine from the four battles of the east, north, south and central. In people's imagination, the Ukrainian army would likely be defeated quickly in a devastating mode.
However, the war has been going on for more than 200 days today, and the Russian army is still progressing slowly, especially a few days ago, the Russian army's crushing defeat in the Khlsun-Kharkov region subverts people's imagination of the Russian army. At the same time, it also makes people look at the Ukrainian army with admiration.
Latest news: Urak army has occupied Donesque Airport today, and was still in Ijium yesterday morning. This speed is like the German army during World War II . It is a real blitz battle !
This is how someone described this war: it was so crazy. The Ukrainian special forces team drove a pickup truck to chase it wildly. When they saw the Russian army withdrawing tank armored vehicle, it was an anti-tank missile . From chasing in the morning to night, to smoking a cigarette the next morning, I feel like a road killer! ...
Based on various information on the Internet in the past few days, it can basically be determined that Ukraine's counterattack has indeed achieved a comprehensive victory and recovered the land area of more than 3,000 square kilometers. Russia has worked hard for several months and finally occupied an important stronghold within a few days. It is incredible!
However, some of our domestic experts are also talking about the fact that Russia is setting up a pocket tactic and deliberately letting the Ukrainian army drill into the pocket. But where is this kind of drilling method? This is clearly a manifestation of throwing away the helmet and armor.
From some videos posted on the Internet, we can see that the heavy tanks and armored vehicles of the Russian army were scattered in batches on both sides of the road, but the Russian army did not know where they ran? Is this the Russian army now? Has the Russian army been brought down to this point? !
This is really a question worth pondering!
The reason is that the current Russian army is so depressed. I think there may be the following reasons.
The first reason is that the commander of the Russian army has serious problems.
Speaking, one soldier will be a bear, and a nest of bears. This time, the Russian army was about to collapse in the face of the counterattack launched by the Ukrainian army, showing that the Russian army has no fighting spirit and dare not fight face to face with the Ukrainian army.
If it is an individual phenomenon that some small troops have fear of war, then the fear of war among all army members can only indicate that there are problems with the commanders at all levels of the Russian army. What is the specific problem with
? Generally speaking, there are three reasons for the large-scale escape of the troops:
First, the Russian army's command system was interrupted, causing the front-line troops to not know what to do in the face of the sudden Ukrainian army and cover their heads.
Second, the overall morale of the Russian army is low. In the final analysis, the officers are not real or ruthless in the daily training of the troops, and the troops lack blood.
Third, the commander of the front-line troops was not willing to fight this war at all, and he had long thought of running away in his heart. Since all officers are like this, soldiers can imagine it.
Fourth, the front-line commanders did not make any preparations before the war, such as defense plans, fortification construction, ideological mobilization, etc.
The second reason is that the Russian army on the front line is generally war-weary.
According to the data, the Russian army has a total of 1 million, of which about 300,000. If we count as a unit of 300,000, Russia has five major military regions, then the real combat troops of the Russian army this time are about 150,000. In addition to the support troops, the real front-line combat personnel will be at most about 100,000. .
The war lasted for almost seven months. In the face of such a long war, these about 100,000 troops had already been exhausted and had long been eager to return to the rear for rest and adjustments. It can be imagined that the Russian army on the front line has almost never achieved a decent battle victory after more than 200 days. This war without hope has long reduced the morale of Russian officers and soldiers on the front line to a certain extent. .
To put it bluntly, the front-line troops of the Russian army, whether they are soldiers or officers, have long been war-weary. How can such a force withstand a war? Escape to save lives is the only idea of most of them. The third reason for
The unimprovement of the entire Russian army is the main reason for this failure.
Judging from the Russian army's war performance over the past 200 days, it is very disappointing.
Not to mention the experts, even military fans can see that the Russian army today not only lags behind in war theory, but also lags behind in weapons and equipment, but even the command system is also a complex multi-level command structure during World War II. Flat command was in this war It is basically not reflected.
This fully demonstrates that although the Russian army has undergone some reforms, the reforms are not thorough. Except for the Russian army equipped with weapons from individual killers, the combat ideas and combat system of the entire army have not improved at all.
In this Russian-Ukrainian war, Russia's style of play was still using the same style as World War II. The most typical example is that combat and offensives are promoted step by step using the torrent of steel. Even so, the Russian army has not even adjusted its most basic tactics.
In the first stage of the Russian attack, when the front-line troops advanced toward Kiev , the two wings of the troops did not send combat teams to clear them, resulting in a large number of tanks and armored vehicles of the Russian army being ambushed on both sides of the road. As a living target, it was destroyed by anti-armored weapons, leaving behind a long snake formation of various destroyed equipment and vehicles that lasted dozens of kilometers. This is simply a joke. The fourth reason for
The highest level of the Russian military is unclear about the direction of the Russian-Ukrainian war, unclear ideas, and improper deployment, which are the most fundamental reasons for the unsmooth progress of the war.
For the reasons in this regard, specifically, there are the following aspects of performance.
First, the strategic goals that need to be achieved in this war are not clear. Putin President said that this war will achieve three goals - demilitarization, deNazization, and preventing Ukraine from joining NATO , but these three goals are still very abstract and not specific enough, and the combat troops will operate it. It's very difficult and cannot touch the North.
Second, there are serious problems with the top Russian military leaders in combat plans. Originally, there were only 100,000 Russian troops participating in the war, but they were divided into four directions to use troops in parallel. I don’t know where the main attack is and where the assist is. Concentrating the main force to eliminate the enemy is the most fundamental way of playing in the war, but this time it was not fundamentally reflected in the Russian-Ukrainian war. I don’t know whether it was because of underestimating the enemy or because Putin’s order to issue combat missions was too hasty, which made the top Russian troops unable to prepare detailed combat plans and were forced to send troops in a hasty way. This is not impossible, because a few days after the war started, many Russian soldiers responded, and they had no idea that this operation was to go to the front line to fight.
Third, the Russian army changed its generals many times in the last battle, and it also showed the appearance of a defeated army! htmlFor more than 1,200 days of war, the Russian army has changed its commander three times! Changing generals at the last stage is a taboo for military strategists, and even if you change the commander three times, how can you be invincible?
Of course, there are other objective reasons for the Russian army in this state, such as the Ukrainian army being commanded by US and NATO military experts, and the Ukrainian army's weapons and equipment received a lot of NATO assistance.
The teacher has long said that the fundamental factor that determines the victory of a war is people rather than weapons. Even if the Russian army uses equipment from World War II, as long as the tactics are properly played, it is impossible for such a miserable situation to occur.
If the Russian army does not learn from the lessons of the previous war in time, the situation of losing again and again is likely to happen again. No one wants to see this, at least I still hope that the Russian army can win, because our common enemy is American imperialism!
