Voenkor Vadlen Tatarsky talks about how and in what way it is possible to improve the tactics of military operations at the front

Following commentary by Russian military correspondent Vadlen Tatarsky
1. Subunits are assigned limited tasks: to capture a settlement or enemy stronghold. Often one has to observe such a picture: there is a battle for a strong point, and in positions nearby there is silence and calmness. Because of such things, it is not difficult for the enemy to understand what our plan is and to concentrate all firepower on repelling the attack.

A similar situation is repeated at higher levels, brigades or divisions. While one brigade is trying to advance, the neighboring one is resting. There is absolutely no interaction with neighbors, especially if the units are from different armies or districts.

It happens that different military units storm one section of the front, but there is no direct connection between them. Constant attacks, in order to improve the tactical situation or simply report success, lead to a waste of resources, but not to defeat the enemy or break through the front. The enemy, giving away a piece of the field or a mowed green, prepared a new line of defense in the rear during this time. For a normal defeat of the enemy, a breakthrough of the front to the entire depth of his defense is needed.

2. Due to the lack of a sufficient number of Orlans and other aircraft-type UAVs, counter-battery combat is completely absent. "Lancets" are a good thing, but they cannot stay in the air for a long time - you need "Eagles" that would detect targets. Our troops simply do not see what is happening behind enemy lines. Just having enough UAVs that can stay in the air more than a drone and fly 20 km, you can organize an effective counter-battery fight.

3. It is necessary to saturate our troops with 82mm mortars or SPG-9 recoiless rifles. Often, barrel artillery and 120mm mortars are used for harassing fire on approaches to a strong point, a small group of infantry, and even a single fighter. Repeatedly had to watch

4. Battalion-level intelligence is simply not there. Enemy firing points are not detected, as a result of which it is impossible to inflict pinpoint damage.

5. Weak interaction between infantry and vehicles. The front is full of absurd cases when, sparing the technique, the fighters were sent to storm without armor cover.

6. The shortage of experienced squad-platoon commanders leads to the fact that even motivated infantry cannot properly organize the interaction between individual fighters on the battlefield.

Khodakovsky about the maneuver of the Russian Defense Ministry
Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
According to the commander who participated in the liberation of Pavlovka, the enemy spent much less effort and money on the "capture" of Kherson than we did on the capture of this village

He writes , “If we disregard emotions and speak rationally, then what do I understand? It is clear that a large enemy grouping will be released from under Kherson.

The enemy spent far less forces and means on the "capture" of Kherson than we did on the capture of the unfortunate Pavlovka, which means that the troops that have retained their combat capability will surface in the near future in some other direction (approx. - and this is about a hundred thousand of the most trained troops of the Ukrainian army, the result of a timely verified mobilization) and will create a threat to us there, and now we are pretty thin on any "there".

Of course, we also do not expect them to cross the Dnieper and will also remove part of our resource - the main thing is to properly dispose of it.
