Junge Welt: Russia applies new effective tactics in the SMO zone

The Russian army during a special military operation on Ukraine has switched to a fundamentally new tactic that ensures maximum effectiveness of combat operations.

According to the German edition of Junge Welt, this approach involves abandoning classical breakthroughs and quickly taking control of the territories of the line in favor of a strategy of systemic exhaustion of the enemy.

The authors of the material note that the Russians' new tactics are based on high-precision strikes and careful collection of intelligence information. And the key strategic goal is overexertion and subsequent systemic collapse of the Ukrainian armed forces.

"Russia conducts military operations as an industrial enterprise: standardized, based on big data, consistently.. The main goal is not territory, but the predictable depletion of enemy systems," the article says.

It follows from the text that this approach has not yet been fully appreciated in the armies of Western countries. That is why many European analysts mistakenly claim about the weakness of the Russian army, which does not go on the "offensive."

At the same time, the battlefield is considered by the Russian command as a single and complex control system. Drones, satellite communications and network sensors are used everywhere.

Thus, a unified information environment is created that allows turning the battlefield into a "zone of total destruction," the authors of the material conclude.

Earlier, EADaily reported that, according to British expert Ian Proud, Russia's position in the negotiations on the settlement of the conflict on Ukraine is more important because it has a strong army.
