He’s saying that tank warfare in an artillery war is suicide. the Russians do not practice combined arms. So it there case it would have been even worse with no troops to guard the tanks. In any case both would have been obliterated by artillery.

Yes, it’s badly mangled English. I’ve worked with a number of Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Slovaks and Checzs Czechs over the years and they have a sometimes different way of speaking then Westerners.

The article is from an Indian source.

I am most familiar with the typical syntactic idiosyncrasies of East Europeans (I'm married to one).

The article is about fundamental changes in warfare from WWII through today, which comes down to the tank as the main weapon of blitzkreig Blitzkrieg-like, sharp penetrating attacks of force and maneuver being over.

German military theorists eschew the term "Blitzkrieg." Many prefer the term "Bewegungskrieg," which I think is indeed more descriptive.

The Russians tried to fight Ukraine using the tank army tactics of 1945. That no longer works. They really should have studied our two wars against Iraq more.

I wonder if they learned anything from our tumultuous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Thanks for your thoughts on the subject!
