Recently, the representative of EU publicly clamored to the outside world that if the Russian army dared to use nuclear bomb , the EU would have the strength to destroy the Russian army.
Is this what the EU said exaggerated? Or is it true? The answer is indeed the case. Since the Ukrainian army successfully withstood the Russian-Ukrainian conflict for more than 230 days, European countries that have been aiding Ukrainian side have reason to believe that the Ukrainian army, which rely solely on the EU to provide weapons assistance, can withstand the Russian-Ukrainian attack. If the Russian army expands the war in an all-round way, and the armies of EU countries and Ukrainian troops join the war together, EU countries will have the strength to destroy the Russian army.
This news is indeed unwilling to face for the Russian army, but the Russian army should also recognize the gap in its own strength rather than blindly arrogance. The Russian army must carefully summarize a series of lessons from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, learn from the strengths of its opponent - the Ukrainian army, and restore itself to its magnificence as "the world's second military power" as soon as possible, so that the Russian army can dare to withstand the pressure from the United States and Europe in future struggles.
So objectively evaluated that in this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Ukrainian army inherited the three highlights shown by the Soviet army, which is worth learning from and learning from by the Russian army and is also worth learning from by countries around the world.
The first highlight of the Ukrainian army: The Ukrainian army is an army that dares to integrate the military theories and combat ideas of countries around the world, and integrate the advanced knowledge of the armies of various countries and apply them. In other words, the Ukrainian army is an army that is good at learning.
The situation of the Wu army is very special, and its experience can be described as "glory-decline-rising". When the Soviet Union was just disintegrated, Ukraine divided the former Soviet army with more than 500,000 troops, more than 6,000 tanks, more than 7,000 infantry fighting vehicles, 3,100 cannons and 2,100 aircraft. These properties made the Ukrainian army called the "third in the world" in 1992, second only to the United States and Russia. However, due to the Ukrainian authorities' "selling property" in the next 10 years, the strength of the Ukrainian army has declined seriously. For a long time before the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Ukrainian army had less than 100 aircraft, 2,000 tanks, more than 2,000 artillery, and the total strength of the regular army was 250,000, of which the army had only more than 100,000.
In terms of military thought and tactics, the Ukrainian army followed the tactics and ideas of the Soviet army and was accustomed to fighting the Soviet army's large-scale offensive operations. This can be found from the large number of tanks, , armored vehicles, of the Ukrainian army.
However, after the civil war broke out between the Ukrainian army and the East Ukrainian militia, NATO began to train the Ukrainian army again. The Ukrainian army learned NATO's military ideas and tactics in actual combat, especially the United States. The United States' military ideas and tactics are not completely applicable to the Ukrainian army, but the Ukrainian army can combine the knowledge system that suits it in the Ukrainian military thinking with the actual needs of the Ukrainian army. After several years of construction in NATO, the Ukrainian army has developed from a pure Russian army to a "mixed-blood army" that takes into account both Russia and the United States and learns from others' strengths. During the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Ukrainian army was able to quickly use the combat weapons and related system equipment they used, such as Himas rocket launcher , M777 howitzer and other weapons, easily defeating the Russian army.
It is quite ironic. The Soviet army, the predecessor of the Russian army, was also an army that was good at learning. After the Soviet army experienced a crushing defeat in the early stage of World War II , the Soviet army began to learn. The Soviet army formulated its own tactical tactics and tactics against the German army. The Soviet army even refused all the weapons from Britain and the United States. They learned tank radio communication technology from the United States and imported the United States' military vehicle to arm their own motorized troops. In the late period of World War II, the Soviet army, which absorbed the advanced technology of Britain and the United States, especially the United States, swept across Eastern Europe and finally planted the red flag on the top of Berlin.
Until the Cold War, Soviet military science was not behind. In 1979, Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Union, Olgakov proposed that the future warfare theory against the United States would be a war that combines advanced guided weapon with reconnaissance system and information combat system. If the Soviet army did not learn the theory of information warfare, the Soviet army would be eliminated by the world.
But by the end of Cold War , the Russian army abandoned the Soviet army's good at learning the advantages that others had developed and became self-confidence.Although the Russian army also has its own reforms, the Russian army's reforms have never found the most suitable entry point, which has led to the failure of the Russian army's reforms, resulting in irreversible serious consequences. This consequence has been reflected in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
A Russian army that is not good at learning other people's strengths will attack a Ukrainian army that inherits the Soviet army's good at learning other people's strengths and advantages, and in the 21st century, it is conceivable that the Russian army fought a war for more than 230 days. The lessons of the failure of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict tell us that an army that is not good at learning must be eliminated by the times.
Second, the Ukrainian army seems to have stronger use of artillery and tank troops than the Russian army, which is also an old tradition of the Soviet army.
Take tank troops as an example. The Russian army's most elite tank unit, the First Tank Army, actually found the wrong direction of attack after the outbreak of the war, wasted at least three days of attack time and lost the opportunity to annihilate the Ukrainian army with the 35th Army and the 36th Army of the Soviet Army.
The Ukrainian army's tank operations were in place very well. The Ukrainian army identified the weak links in a recent counterattack operation, concentrated more than 100 infantry fighting vehicles and tanks to counterattack at the weak points of the Russian army, and continuously assaulted the Russian positions. Although the Ukrainian tank counterattack was nothing compared to the German army's " flash war " that year, the Ukrainian combat professionalism cannot be underestimated.
And in a recent battle, a certain artillery unit of the Ukrainian army used a Himas rocket launcher under the guidance of a drone and successfully annihilated the Russian army's long-range rocket launcher unit, causing a heavy blow to the Russian army. The Ukrainian army's use of artillery and tank troops is indeed better than that of the Russian army.
Third, the Ukrainian army has built a very complete national defense mobilization system and made sufficient preparations to deal with the Russian invasion.
The Soviet army during the Cold War also had its own national defense mobilization system, which is completely consistent with the Ukrainian army and the Soviet army.
Ukrainian army has more than 200,000 regular troops and 29 brigades. The Ukrainian reserve troops were divided into several levels.
The first-level reserve force of the Ukrainian army is 50,000 newly retired soldiers, ready to supplement the battle losses on the front line at any time.
The second-level reserve force has 14 reserve brigades, including tank brigades, infantry brigades and artillery brigades, and can be incorporated into active troops at any time to participate in the war.
The third-level reserve force is the Land Defense Brigade. These troops can quickly transfer to active troops after they have been strengthened by NATO's equipment. Recently, the Land Defense Brigade has been present in the Ukrainian counterattack.
The fourth-level reserve force is one million people who have received military training, and they can be organized to put new troops on the front line at any time.
The Ukrainian reserve force is indeed very powerful. After the regular troops on the front line were basically exhausted, the Ukrainian reserve received NATO's weapons and military assistance and directly entered the battlefield, killing the Russian army all over the ground.
Ukrainian army inherited the three major advantages of the Soviet army and delayed the Russian-Ukrainian conflict for more than 230 days. The Russian army thought that the Ukrainian army was an easy-to-deal army, but they did not know that the Russian army paid a huge price for their underestimation of the enemy. Putin could not have expected that the Ukrainian army would have such strong combat power.
