The damned Russians also had the same doctrine as the “west”, carried over from the Soviets. Maneuver warfare was the whole point of their initial BTG (battalion tactical group) organization evident in Feb-March 2022, self contained units oriented to exploitation.
That didn’t work for them, for many reasons, so bombardment was the fallback. These artillery tactics are the result of failure. They failed to win through maneuver so they have been trying to win through attrition.
For what it’s worth I doubt the attrition tactics are working. We will find out eventually.
Russians are utterly incompetent especially when it comes to air defense. That is why are a building the B-21. Apparently despite the utter incompetence of the Russians there is growing concern that the B-2 cannot penetrate those air defenses.
you posted this same theme in one of our conversations several weeks ago and I didn't understand why. I knew you were right when the Russian mechanized advance on vuledar got clobbered. ‘Five Eyes’ infrastructure feeding data to AFU Nettle now makes total sense.
