For centuries, Russia fought and won for numerical superiority. Whoever its enemy was – Napoleon, Hitler or NATO – Russia had one method of waging war: to crush them with the all-crushing force of its troops, tanks, artillery and nuclear weapons.
But those days have sunk into oblivion. Modern Russia intends to wage war not by its own skill, using dexterous techniques, high skill and modern technology. This is much closer to the Western methods of warfare practiced by the Germans, and today the Americans.
“Obviously influenced by the Soviet legacy, the armed forces of the Russian Federation have undergone significant changes and today correspond to the new realities faced by the Russian military command. This country no longer has great advantages in manpower over its potential enemy. A new study by the RAND Corporation says a study by the RAND Corporation. – In conditions when they are used to ensure effective defense of their country, if necessary, conduct limited offensive operations along its periphery.
Rand begins with a very clear starting point. and industrial centers. There are no signs that Russia is seeking a large-scale conflict with equal powers. It seems that the Russian leadership, in a long conflict with such an adversary as NATO, the country is in a very disadvantageous position. “
Further, the authors of the study list 10 main characteristics related to modern Russian methods of warfare.
1. Russian Armed Forces instructions on how to carry out the task primarily to defend the country. To do this, they use a system of echeloned integrated air defense and a limited number of hotbeds of resistance and buffer states, which allow them to get a reserve of space and time to respond to possible attacks or invasions. ” Buffer states and border defense pockets use traditional Russian practice, Russian military command the space and time to mobilize. It is an addition to nuclear weapons that gives Russia a guarantee of its territorial integrity.
2. “Russia intends to defend its territory, avoiding decisive hostilities with an equal or almost equal enemy, at the expense of long-range defensive and offensive weapons systems. Increasing the range of such weapons also gives the Russian military an operational advantage when conducting offensive hostilities close to Russia’s borders. ” Russia intends to disrupt on its border any plans aimed against the central negative countries. To this end, it intends to counter aircraft carriers, warships capable of striking ground targets and missile defense, military bases on foreign territory and some types of aircraft. To accomplish these tasks, Russia has created a large number of land, sea and air bases. This country, in the event of the outbreak of hostilities, will use an integrated strategy of aviation, ground forces, navy and irregular forces. “As noted in the study.
3. “Time interval in a variety of areas.” imbalance “.
4. “The main instrument of controlled escalation for Russia is its arsenal of operational-tactical and strategic nuclear weapons.” Russia may threaten to use or use its nuclear weapons in response to the use of conventional forces and means, which could weaken state power or create for Russian force nuclear deterrence. ” While Russia is investing heavily in modernizing its conventional armed forces, it is considering a nuclear strike in response to non-nuclear weapons in the event that such an attack poses a serious threat to its territorial integrity, sovereignty, continuity of power and the viability of its strategic nuclear weapons. conclusion of the authors of the study. An attack on the Russian Kaliningrad region, as the German territory annexed after World War II is called today, would be considered a threat to the existence of Russia itself.
5. “Some Russian and Soviet operational plans are for rapid and coordinated surprise combat operations to carry out short missions in very short timeframes. Most likely, these plans have retained their strength, especially for pre-planned operations. ” Russia will also use camouflage and deception techniques to cover up its preparations for such hostilities.
6. “As a result of the reforms carried out in recent years, today a much significant part of the ground component of the Russian armed forces is on high alert for the outbreak of hostilities. Having reduced the total number of units and formations, Russia can transfer them by rail across the country, rapidly increasing the land grouping of troops in the necessary directions in response to the emergence of a crisis. “
7. “In many conflict scenarios, Russia will use a mixed approach to the conduct of hostilities, using traditional and non-traditional methods. Special Forces.
8. “At the operational-tactical level, Russia will pay attention to disruption, weakening and destruction of the control system, as well as the transferred forces and, using this kinetic weapon, means of conducting cyber / electronic warfare and direct action of maneuverable forces.”
9. “Russia has a limited number of non-nuclear, high-precision long-range strike weapons that can be used against key operational and strategic targets, especially against those whose location is always known in advance.”
10. “On the front line in Russian tactics, the main attention will be paid to massive fire from closed firing positions (especially from long-range weapons), the results of which will be used by highly mobile units on combat vehicles, conducting powerful direct fire.” Instead of performing a slow fight with the forces against the Russian forces, they will use a maneuver to search and pin down, and then destroy it with massive artillery fire.
However, the Rand study asks how the Russian military can implement these new approaches to warfare. Some of its forces, say the airborne troops, show themselves in conflicts like the Syrian, but “other units and subunits are armed with older weapons, and there are more conscripts with a term of 12 months. Naturally, it will be much more difficult for them to perform such tasks. The question of the extent to which the Russian armed forces are able to increase their potential and combat capabilities, which we have observed in recent periods, remains open. “
