| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Report can be found here (PDF) [Regnum] A 280-page report on the Russian armed forces, their structure and tactics was prepared by the US Army. The data collection was published under the title “Russian Tactics”. The material is billed as a textbook for military training, vocational education, and leadership development. The preface states that the publication examines the tactics, organization and actions of the Russian military, and also describes how Russia would fight according to its doctrine, using tactical concepts used in training and exercises, primarily for large-scale operations. However, the report makes no mention of the conflict in Ukraine. The authors stated that they do not concern the actions of Russian troops in Ukraine, considering it premature to judge the extent to which they confirm or deny doctrinal strategy and tactics. RUSSIAN ARMY IN THE SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION On February 26, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, announced that the Russian Armed Forces had taken control of the settlement of Lastochkino in the Avdeevsky direction. He also noted that the Russian military occupied more advantageous lines and positions in the southern Donetsk direction, while the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost up to 150 military personnel there in one day. On the same day, the Russian Armed Forces repelled three attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Donetsk direction and occupied more advantageous lines and positions. Enemy losses in this direction per day amounted to more than 420 people, two armored personnel carriers, an M777 artillery system and a counter-battery counter station. Earlier, Russian missile forces with a group high-precision strike hit the launcher, tractor, ammunition and transport-loading vehicle of the American Patriot anti-aircraft missile system of the Ukrainian army. ARTILLERY SUPERIORITY The Wall Street Journal reported the overwhelming superiority of Russian artillery in the volume of shells used. According to the agency, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are 10 times inferior in this indicator. It is also reported that the Ukrainian side has a shortage of all types of equipment. Military expert Hendrik Remmel announced a critical shortage of artillery shells in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. At the same time, he noted that the Russian Armed Forces are so superior to the Ukrainian troops in the amount of ammunition that Kiev receiving even 300-500 thousand shells will not correct the situation with the shortage of weapons. As noted by the American publication Bloomberg, for the Ukrainian army the situation during the conflict has reached a dead end due to a shortage of ammunition, a shortage of military personnel and a delay in assistance from Western countries. At the moment, the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot count on financial assistance from the United States, and the Russian army is successfully finding weak spots in the Ukrainian defense. On February 15, 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin praised the domestic military-industrial complex for its high performance indicators. The head of state clarified that the production of personal protective equipment for participants of the military military training increased tenfold, vehicles of various classes - sevenfold, armored vehicles - threefold, and the production of tanks increased fivefold. The Russian leader emphasized that this indicates an increase in military production by several times, and not by a certain percentage. |
