A former US Army Major analyses footage of the Ukrainian military in action.
Urban warfare expert John Spencer has told Forces News that Ukrainian forces need to use a mix of integrated attack strategies in order to capitalise on Russian weaknesses.
He explains that the Ukrainians will have to take the fight to the Russians if they are to win the war.

Now is the time to support the Belarusian resistance. Imagine if the Lukashenko regime was challenged, Russia would be forced to send forces there, forces it can't really spare. Then Georgia suddenly thinks that they want Ossetia back. At about the same time people in Chechnya rebels against the Kadyrov regime. Then various republics starts thinking "what has the Russians ever done for us? Let's break free!"

I've also wondered why the various groups in these satellite countries are not seeing this as a golden opportunity to make their move. You don't have to be a battlefield expert to know that Russia is much, much, much weaker today then they were a year ago and far less able to help put down a rebellion anywhere else. I cannot tell you if it would work long term, but your chances have to be much better now then they will be two years from now after Russia has been defeated in Ukraine, but has had some time to rebuild.

UA was trained by a large group of western countries, who banded together to bring western military doctrine to the UA in 2014. The army you see today is a reflection of that commttment by Ukrainians to become a modern fighting force, with the focus, discipline and respect required to adopt NATO standards. UA tropps have been trained out of country by a large number of militaries. The UK is hosting what we call ' basic training ' for new recuits, to get a large number up to speed fast. They also have high level training for other specialties.

The fact US knew how the Russians were able to fight using their doctrine and equipment expected them to do way better. Turns out should have taken corruption reports more seriously. As former US Infantry Officer my first clue to how bad the Russians were was Ukraine drone use over their forces. All Russian movements should have been under cover of electronic counter measure units to jam all communications. I did see one video on Ukrainian forces having to wait till Russian Jamming ending to launch their drones so the Russians were partially trying to do it.

@@RedRocket4000 “All Russian movements should have been under cover of electronic counter measure units to jam all communications.” Interesting comment. In the first few days when the big convoy heading to Kyiv hit the buffers, the Ukrainians found a completely unused, pristine mobile communications unit. It was fitted into one or two standard articulated-truck containers, of I remember right, and would have been lifted off to sit on the ground. But the vehicles had got stuck in mud off a narrow road. The report called it “state of the art”, and more or less a priceless gift because it meant the Russians completely lost their secure communications capability in that region. Would this also have had jamming capability, or is that a simpler thing where drones are concerned?

The Nazis and Hitler succeeded for too long, because people like yourself believed what they 'wanted' to believe, to selfishly absolve themselves of responsibility. Check your news sources, you've clearly been taken in by Putin's fake news: What part of Russia is a "dictatorship" do you not understand? Dictatorships, don't even allow their own people to speak out or know the truth... so why on 'earth' would think for a moment they would tell "you" the truth? Many have been taken in by Russian disinformation, and by the way it was Russia under Stalin and the KGB in 1923 which arrived at the concept and coined the word disinformation! They even gave it a Western sounding name, so we would more easily adopt it... so that worked? Putin has murdered "100 000s" of people in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, Ukraine and elsewhere. Syria, was a people's uprising as a result of the Arab Spring, which began in Tunisia in 2010, as a result Assad slaughtered peaceful protesters with gunships. The people fought bravely for years, but when Damascus was about to fall, Assad called in Putin. Assad and Putin then murdered "100 000s" of people, dropping bombs on children in their schools, burning them alive!

That's textbook Blitzkrieg maneuver warfare. You rotate troops while advancing. The key is to constantly maintain contact with the retreating enemy, don't let them dig in and rest. You reload, refuel and rest while the second unit continues to advance, then change places and repeat. Scouts always look for the weakest place in the defense, you put the center of mass at that point, break the line and attack their rear. Two things are important : flexibility and a decentralized command structure. Officers have to take matters in their own hands and exploit an opportunity when it arises, without waiting for orders from the superiors. That's called Mission-type tactics. You need well trained officers and NCOs to perform that. Of course, logistics is crucial. The main weapon is the speed, and that requires constant resupply.

Yep and seen several examples of Western tank doctrine with Ukrainian Tanks using a dueling and surprise when possible approach. Russian Tanks are more limited used Western style as their low target design prevents main gun depression that tall Western tanks can do. So going Haul down harder. Haul down is tank only exposing the turret by being on back side of slope firing over and down from it. This in many ways the Arab vs Israeli wars again.

Logistics in Prussia was seen as something third rate officers would do, which led to the shortages in WWI and WWII Germany suffered. On the other Hand, the Ukrainians took the right lessons from the right people, the US for logistics and Prussia for tactics.

@@tfp0052 You're playing qartett. Why does Russia even leave so much equipment behind? Because of western weapons deliveries. If the west hadn't supplied UA with so much (infantry) firepower in the first weeks, then they wouldn't have won the Battle for Kiev, which in turn would've resulted in far worse morale for UA's soldiers, while it would've benefited Russian morale. And low morale is a key factor why Russian soldiers ran so fast in Charkiv. Also, you have to look at what exactly US is capturing: Mostly MBTs and IFV. Now these are no slouch, but you're rarely going to find artillery there. However, artillery is the key in striking Russia's logistics and command points. This is where western deliveries come back, again. (HI)MARS, CAESAR and PzH2000 have far longer range and better accuracy to their Russian counterparts, which makes counter-battery nigh impossible, and lets UA reliably suffocate Russia's forces by depriving them of Ammo, Food, Fuel and CnC. Without the help from the west, Ukraine, no matter how valiant their soldiers have fought and are fighting, would've lost. That much is a fact.

Iraq US actually got the democracy wanted but it's weak. A turn over to Arab League as offered right after taking over and pulling out of all but Kurd areas the US still be mostly loved in Iraq. US won the wars lost the occupations. Thus not the same as here where the Ukrainian regular military are winning a conventional war.

With the lead time to prepare and Western gear rolling in, the Ukrainians will use the frozen conditions to fullest advantage. General Winter is serving in the Ukrainian forces this time.

@@4TwentyFour20 Okay, I seriously haven’t considered it until now. That would be freaking amazing. I mean, Ukraine doesn’t have anything like that right now and would certainly need to be trained in Britain full time on something so alien before taking them over to Ukraine, but they would totally be of great benefit on the battlefield for fast manoeuverability. Sure they are quite loud, but their ability to go from land to water on the flatlands of Ukraine would be incredibly helpful. Ukraine has many rivers in crossing them can be very treacherous right now, so using a hovercraft to get from one side to the other and move across potentially landmine areas in greater safety would be great for personnel. Even just three could make a good difference for a battalion or two.

During the American Revolution, the American troops we're unable to stand and fight against the professional British troops in a conventional fight. They lacked training, supplies, and equipment, save for what they could scrounge. When France allied with them, the Americans got Charleville muskets and proper uniforms. A Prussian, "Baron von Steuben", took 100 American sergeants and trained them thoroughly in European linear tactics. Those 100 went out and trained all the regiments in the American army. Soon they were the equal of any army in Europe. The Ukrainians are on a similar path. They are learning as fast as they can. They get more skilled at Western maneuver warfare by the month. The Russians get people too poor to escape their conscription. Their nearly complete lack of training is not a plus.

The training carried out by the UK pre-war under Operation Orbital trained around 20,000 personnel in total in a myriad of roles from command and control to logistics to infantry skills. The number of people trained is not reflective of the skills passed on, such as correct ammunition stowage or leadership skills. The US provided Operation Fearless Guardian which rotated through US infantry brigades to train Ukrainian infantry in war fighting skills and modern combat. The Canadians had Operation Unifier that provided equipment and multiple levels of war fighting training, to a number of around 33,000. Other nations from the Commonwealth as well as Lithuania, Poland, Denmark and Czechi also provided NATO standards of training and equipment supply. All starting in 2014-2015. The scheme of all NATO operations combined aimed for an employment of 130,000 Ukrainians. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has halted all those training operations. It is now called Operation Interflex, a British led training programme on UK soil that plans a rotation of 10,000 Ukrainians every six weeks. Britain has been joined by many NATO nations as well as some non-NATO countries in assistance. This is carried out on UK soil with the aim of providing basic defensive and offensive infantry skills, as well as some NATO weapons.

Excellent assessment based on what we are actually seeing on the ground and from a soldiers perspective , when one looks at the Russians ! they appear to be scruffy in appearance with poor field discipline example their defensive positions look like rubbish tips with kit all over the place, ammunition stacked out in the open without protective cover or camouflage , the same for their vehicles , one can be sure that as mentioned winter is going to be a deciding factor , made worse with long periods stood in defensive positions. The Russians for sure will be lacking basic vehicle maintenance which is telling when one watches the amount of stuff being towed away by the UA , as for the press ganged men who are being set up to fail , and about to join their comrades all ready in country who have failed already ?
