One thing you will note is that the current Russian formation below division is the Brigade. It is not much different from the Regiment of old. I'm not sure why they changed the nomenclature.<br />As for using these tactics, they used them as lately as the war in Georgia. US Intel pundits assumed in the open press that the Russians were able to advance as fast as they did because they had already planned their operations. In fact, what happened was that the divisions were given their marching orders "as per SOP." Their TTPs at this level are simple but they maintain them because they work.<br />As for the little green men (as I call them, "NotRussians"), I would like to maybe write something up on them, but they would in most likelihood avoid conventional NATO forces. <br />My next installment may highlight our lack of breaching assets or AD assets, or both. I'm still undecided.<br /><br />Again, thanks for the comments!Technovikinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621960203258491624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637677873415870871.post-23121601410824906002016-06-22T08:14:49.721-07:002016-06-22T08:14:49.721-07:00"First Clash" 2016 - great stuff, TV!
I..."First Clash" 2016 - great stuff, TV!<br /><br />I notice a lot of terms & tactics that sound familiar from the Soviet OPFOR pams I'd read in the 1980's. Do you think the Russian's would stick that closely to the old Soviet playbook on a conventional battlefield? Also, any thought to what kind of effect "local self-defence forces/polite green men" could have in the Baltics, based on the Ukraine experience?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this stuff!milnews.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787415534175624618noreply@blogger.com
