Recently, the Ukrainian army has launched a major tactical change in the fierce confrontation with the Russian army, no longer blindly fighting, but using innovative means to confront the strong defense line of the Russian army. This adjustment not only won valuable results for Ukraine, but also made the Russian army helpless. This article will delve into the three new tactics of the Ukrainian army and reinterpret this Ukrainian-Russian wrestling war.
1.Unmanned equipment is surprisingly successful.
In the face of the heavy defense line of the Russian army, the Ukrainian army no longer chooses direct confrontation, but carries out raid and harassment operations through the clever use of unmanned equipment. The investment of a large number of drones and unmanned boats has created a chance for Ukraine to win by surprise.
The Ukrainian army reconnoiters the front line of the Russian army through small drones, and accurately strikes isolated Russian soldiers and equipment. The attacks of large and medium-sized drones are aimed directly at the Russian mainland, repeatedly attacking Moscow, effectively weakening the morale of the Russians.
According to Ukrainian Defense Minister Retznikov, more than 100 enterprises in Ukraine have invested in the production of drones, 40 of which are dedicated to the military. Currently, the Ukrainian army already has a large fleet of drones and has trained tens of thousands of drone operators. This means that drones will play a more important role in the future Ukrainian-Russian battlefield.
In addition to drones, the Ukrainian army also used unmanned boats to attack and harass the Russian Black Sea Fleet, and achieved remarkable results. On August 4, an unmanned boat of the Ukrainian army successfully stormed the port of Novorossiysk and destroyed a 4,000-ton tank landing ship of the Russian army. This flexible and mobile tactic poses a great threat to the Russian army, making it difficult to defend against.
2.Long-range strikes** lock on to key targets.
The Ukrainian army, although limited in resources for long-range strikes**, is used properly. Mainly based on the Storm Shadow cruise missiles provided by Britain and France, the Ukrainian army concentrated them on striking important targets of the Russian army, achieving precision strikes.
Ukraine's long-range precision strikes are mainly aimed at the Russian army's front line high command posts, logistics and transportation lines, as well as ammunition depots. This tactic has achieved remarkable results, repeatedly destroying the most valuable targets of the Russian army, such as the ammunition depot in Crimea, the Jongar bridge connecting Crimea and Kherson, etc.
In particular, in early July, Ukraine successfully struck the Duna Hotel in Berdyansk, resulting in the death of Lieutenant General Zokov, deputy commander of the Southern Military District Command of the Russian Army. Zokov is the highest-ranking Russian general to be killed in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict so far, and the blow was not only precise and powerful, but also dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Russian army.
Ukraine's long-range precision strikes not only successfully weakened the combat effectiveness of the Russian army, but also put its logistics supply in a difficult situation, creating favorable conditions for the Ukrainian side to gain greater initiative.
3.Sabotage behind enemy lines caused chaos.
The Ukrainian army actively launches sabotage operations behind enemy lines, including the use of espionage, special forces and partisans. This all-round sabotage behind enemy lines has given Ukraine more initiative.
Ukrainian intelligence officers actively collected information and infiltrated into Russian territory through special squads to carry out sabotage activities, such as sabotaging the railway system, which caused a lot of trouble for the Russian army. In particular, at the beginning of July, the Ukrainian army successfully struck at Lieutenant General Zokov, deputy commander of the command of the Southern Military District of the Russian army, because it was the intelligence officers of the Ukrainian side who discovered Zokov's traces.
In addition, Ukraine has also supported some forces, such as the Russian Free Legion, to carry out raid operations in Russia, effectively distracting the energy and combat power of the Russian army.
What is remarkable is that the Ukrainian partisans even resorted to poisoning against the Russian army. Recently, in Mariupol, a Russian military battalion was poisoned by Ukrainian partisans while celebrating Navy Day. As a result of the operation, 17 officers were hospitalized, two of whom were killed. Ukrainian partisans went so far as to add cyanide and pesticides to the food of the Russian army, showing their diverse means of destruction.
Looking to the future, Ukraine will inevitably further strengthen sabotage operations behind enemy lines, putting the Russian army in a more anxious situation. This series of counterattack means not only gives the Ukrainian army the upper hand in the war, but also provides countries around the world with a flexible countermeasure strategy to deal with the threat of a strong enemy.
In the fierce confrontation with the Russian army, the Ukrainian army has demonstrated excellent strategic insight and execution through clever tactical adjustments and innovations. In this war, the three main tactics adopted by the Ukrainian army - unmanned equipment attack, centralized use of long-range strikes**, and sabotage operations behind enemy lines, are undoubtedly a clever subversion of traditional military thinking.
First, the Ukrainian army has successfully transformed the battlefield landscape through the massive use of unmanned equipment, especially drones and unmanned boats. This flexible tactic provides Ukraine with a range of advantages, from reconnaissance of Russian positions on the front line to attacks on the Russian mainland, all of which demonstrate the importance of unmanned equipment in modern warfare. The extensive application of drones by the Ukrainian army has not only improved the speed of obtaining battlefield information, but also produced significant results when attacking the Russian mainland, directly impacting the morale of the Russian army. In addition, the unmanned boat attack on the Black Sea Fleet makes it difficult for the Russian army to guard against it, further weakening its maritime combat effectiveness. This new tactic not only gained more initiative for Ukraine, but also achieved considerable advantages at the tactical level.
Secondly, the Ukrainian army has shown itself well in the use of long-range strikes **. Despite the limited resources, the Ukrainian army has used long-range ** with precision, mainly focused on striking key targets of the Russian army. This strategy not only achieved remarkable results in destroying the Russian army's high-level command posts, logistics lines, ammunition depots and other important targets, but also killed Lieutenant General Zokov, a senior general of the Russian Southern Military District, in the strike in early July, which directly dealt a blow to the morale of the Russian army. By dedicating limited resources to the most critical places, the Ukrainian army has tactically demonstrated efficiency and cleverness.
Finally, sabotage behind enemy lines adds more leverage to Ukraine. Through intelligence gathering, infiltration by special squads and active operations by partisan detachments, the Ukrainian army has managed to create chaos behind enemy lines and deliver effective strikes on Russian territory. In particular, the guerrillas actually used the means of poisoning, showing the diverse tactical means of Ukraine in the fight against the Russian army. This behind-the-enemy movement further weakens the Russian army's sense of security in the rear, making them more distracted on the battlefield and unable to concentrate on the fight against Ukraine.
On the whole, these tactical adjustments and innovations of the Ukrainian army have not only achieved substantial results on the battlefield, but also provided new ideas for modern military warfare. The Ukrainian army has successfully broken the shackles of traditional military thinking through the flexible use of unmanned equipment, the precise use of long-range strikes**, and the launch of sabotage operations behind enemy lines, providing more options and opportunities for weak and small countries in the face of a strong enemy. This Ukrainian-Russian confrontation is not only a contest of military technology, but also a contest of wisdom and innovation.
