The Russian Army and more generally the Russian Federation tends to highlight an old but adapted to the modern battlefield of the Doctrine of War called Russia’s New Generation Warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Head of the Russian Army, Valery Gerasimov, this doctrine of this Conventional War should be used on the periphery of the Russian Federation, around its geographical borders, as part of a more general strategy to exploit-cause instability in existing “Frozen Conflicts” to derive political benefits through regime change in the region under consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new Russian Doctrine, entitled Russia’s New Generation Warfare, consists of five areas, which are among the total length of time that combat operations are implemented with the main aim of gaining maximum power in the region in favour of Russia. These five areas are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The Asymmetric War<\/li>
  2. Low Intensity Conflicts<\/li>
  3. Network-centric Enterprises<\/li>
  4. The 6th<\/sup> Generation War<\/li>
  5. The Dicentric \u2013 Flexible Administration & Control<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The goal of this Doctrine is the total influence in every way of all those ties within the hostile state who defend regime change in favour of Russia. Operations (military or not) conducted to achieve the above objective are called Hybrid Operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Regime Change <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Regime change is achieved through the completion of three main operational phases, falling into three main categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Phase A<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Political representatives, media, social media, military followers, diplomats, and secret service agents are all being used together to launch an information-central war campaign against the state institutions of the targeted & defending country (cyberattacks on state facilities, spreading fake news).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The goal of all this is the maximum military reversal of power data in the entire geographical area that Russia is targeting and wants to control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The result of all these coordinated actions is to maximize the climate of fear, instability, insecurity, and future uncertainty in the thoughts of hostile state officials, forcing them to get out of this bad situation to leave-surrender the positions they find themselves in to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This category of coordinated actions lasts from 2-3 days depending on the size of the area it wants to control and stops as soon as the Russian army has taken appropriate combat positions near the border with the claimed geographical area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Russian troops taking up position are the entire armed forces (infantry, special forces, tanks) and the artillery weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since within the claimed geographical area there are enclaves of Russian-speaking or more generally representative sexes adjacent to the Russians, the whole doctrine presupposes that in recent months and before the start of the Class A actions, they should have been trained-equipped-organized to be the “front line”-front of the Russian troops who are calling for in addition to all other geographical secession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Phase<\/em> <\/em>B<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After phase A of actions has been completed and the movement of Russian troops to the default areas near the border of the controlled region\/foreign country has been completed, then Phase B of actions begins, which includes the announcement “No-Fly Zone”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A prerequisite for this is that you have first dominated the air if the foreign country has the resources (weapons systems, manpower) to resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    C Phase<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In this category of Actions, military operations within the geographical area claimed by Russia begin (immediately after the “No Fly Zone” announcement).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The main pillar of these military operations is based on Russia’s artillery systems. More generally in Russian military culture, the military does the right maneuvers and tactics to occupy an area and transmit targeting data to artillery. Essentially, the troop supports artillery that plays the most decisive arm of the war process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This Russian artillery-focused military culture justifies comments by the head of the British Army, Sir   Nicholas Carter, that since 2017, Russia has doubled its rocket-launch platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mobile Missile Domes<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Chief of the British Army, with his findings, shows that the operational purpose of the Russian Army is to create mobile “Missile Canes”. It is these mobile Missile Domes that will ensure the freedom and protection of maneuvers of friendly troops within the geographical area of conflict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By granting accurate data and through the “Recognition-Strike” process, the Command-Control Centers of the enemy army will be destroyed by artillery fire, inactivation of its operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Targeting data can be provided by troops of representatives or Russian-speaking separatists (Ukraine, Georgia), UAVs, satellites, electronic intercept systems and special forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Russian Doctrine prefers that when the targeting data for some reason were not accurate, the Russian Artillery should use all its weapons systems to fully flatten the area where there is an electronic stigma of the existence of a high-value enemy target, with the aim, among other things, of creating psychological effects on the structure of enemy command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That is why the Russian Artillery has multiplied the launch platforms of guided missiles, moving mortars, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Depending on what the Russian Artillery is facing, it increases the size of its formations. Reduced-size formations make forces more flexible and active on the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In this case, great importance is given to the accuracy of the attack but also to the fire speed of the artillery, whose formations are constantly moving in areas that they have previously destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In these cases, through western-centric synergy with electronic eavesdropping systems, taking targeting data from all kinds of sensors, so that the moving Artillery can put against geographically remote areas thus extending the geographical size of the “Mobile Missile Dome” giving a huge depth to Russian operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A special feature is the effectiveness of the new Russian “Recognition-Strike” model. Russian military culture continues to use a variety of munitions to include improved conventional dual-use munitions and thermobaric weapons, which the US military has chosen to eliminate from its arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the Crimean War, what has raised the scale in favour of the Russian army is the fact that 80% of Ukrainian forces were suppressed by Artillery fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Disadvantages of this Military Doctrine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A prerequisite for the Artillery to be able to act in the abovementioned way is to there is complete air superiority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Otherwise the Artillery simply becomes a target for the training of the enemy’s helicopter, aircraft and UAV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • If the information collection and transmission centers are affected or disoriented, then it is Blindly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      • Artillery is useless in the event of the breakdown of lines with an extraordinarily strong first blow bymotorized forces that will continue to advance at great strategic depth, and always under air cover, destroying all infrastructure and confusing all enemy forces about where they are and what their real strength is as they will be in constant frontline contact with the enemy without giving it the possibility of reconstruction.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        This above strategy is the well-known Blitzkrieg that the Germans applied to the Russians in WWII during Operation Barbarossa. And then the Russian Doctrine of War put the Artillery at its center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
