Scientific rambling since the start of the Russian armySpecial military operationSince then, this battle of global attention is still ongoing. Russia has not been able to capture Ukraine as the world expected, but has fought back and forth with this brother and rival.
Despite all the praise that Putin praised at the defense show for his armored vehicles, self-propelled guns and fighter jets, war is a mirror of the true strength of the military. With the sinking of the cruiser Moskva and the frequent fires of the aircraft carrier Kuznetsov, Russia has set off a boom in arms purchases.
The strategy of the Russian army is:Simultaneous assault from the north, south and east of Ukraine, the Russian army on the northern route landed at Antonov Airport, and then the army entered Kyiv from the Belarusian border. Under the overwhelming all-out offensive, it is widely believed that Ukrainian resistance will not last more than 48 hours.
But the effect of the Russian offensive is a big surpriseThe airborne troops, who were responsible for capturing the Antonov airfield to achieve the effect of the surprise attack, were fiercely blocked by the Ukrainian army, and the land army also encountered an impenetrable resistance from the Ukrainian army on the outskirts of Kyiv. A large number of tank armor was destroyed under the offensive of anti-tank **, and the backup supply could not be arrived in time, and the air force was completely intercepted by anti-aircraft fire. The defeated Russian army finally withdrew from Kyiv at the end of March, and the original strategic plan of lightning raid was instantly collapsed under the defense of the Ukrainian army.
In the following 4 June, the Russian army attacked from the east of Ukraine with all its might, and successfully captured it one after anotherMariupol, Severodonetsk, Lisichansk,But in the end, it was logistical reasons that stalled. The Russian army's offensive died down, and the Ukrainian army launched a comprehensive ** that was like a bamboo, and it was recovered in just 4 monthsSnake Island, Kherson.
The offensive and defensive forces of the two sides changed positions, and the war turned into a protracted tug-of-war, and the special military operation of the Russian army was also experiencedAll-out offense -- focused offense -- all-round defense -- key defenseIn several stages, the loss of personnel is not small.
In this war that has not yet stopped, the Russian army has staged many surprising and mysterious operations for us. First of allThe Black Sea Fleet turned out to be defeated by the weak Ukraine, followed byThe Air Force was completely crushed but failed to occupy the front-line air supremacyAnd finallyThe elite special forces, which had high expectations, failed to complete the raid on the Kyiv airport. It can be expected that if the airport of the capital of Ukraine is raided, the situation and situation of the entire battlefield will be completely rewritten.
At present, the Russian army has basically stabilized the four regions of eastern Ukraine, but this is obviously lower than people's expectations of Russia. In accordance with the United StatesGlobal Firepower NetworkIn the ranking of global military powers, Russia should be the second military power after the United States, so why is Russia still so passive in this war and conflict?
In fact, at present, Russia can rank second, still thanks to their large-scale nuclear **, strong military production and national defense mobilization capabilities. At the moment the Russian military industry is producedMore than 1500 tanks and more than 2500 armored vehicles,It can basically make up for the losses of the Russian army in the war, and the number of thousands of nuclear weapons also provides great confidence for Russia. According to Shoigu himself, if the war in Russia continues to expand, the total strength of the Russian army can be increased to the maximum2 million people.
And what Russia is really lagging behind and lacking isUAV field。At the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia claimed to have a comprehensive air defense system, but its performance in Ukraine was mediocre.
Developed by TurkeyFlag-bearer TB-2 UAVIn front of him, he failed to play the defensive role he should have. In the battle for Snake Island, the TB-2 drone destroyed the Russian army's military facilities, transport ships and patrol boats one after another. The Russian army was overwhelmed by frequent drone attacks on the Russian army on Snake Island, which eventually abandoned the island.
After the Russian-Ukrainian conflict entered the second stage, the Ukrainian army's TB-2 UAV was exhausted, and the Ukrainian army turned around and came up with more advanced and excellent performanceAmerican-made "Switchblade" and "Phoenix Ghost".。These drones** have caused great trouble to the tanks and self-propelled guns of the Russian army, and there are still rumors on today's social ** that some Russian armored vehicles were destroyed by drones**.
In October of the same year, drone warfare in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict entered a new stage. During this period, the Russian army began to use it in large quantities"Geranium-2" suicide droneto launch a steady stream of airstrikes on important Ukrainian facilities. After research in Western countries, this drone is actually produced in Iran"Witness-136" UAVIt is inexpensive, powered by a motorcycle engine**, and combined with a simple navigation system, it can attack targets from a distance of 1,000 kilometers.
Due to the large number of launches of the Russian army's drones, even if they are intercepted by the Ukrainian army in large numbers, they can cause damage to the target, plus Ukraine's air defense is already limited, so the Ukrainian army will also have a headache for a period of time.
Since it can't be prevented, then simply launch a retaliatory bombardment. In December of the same year, the Ukrainian army carried out a drone air attack on the Russian strategic bomber base hundreds of kilometers away, causing serious damage to two strategic bombers, and on the 26th, the Russian bomber base was attacked by the Ukrainian army again.
In this phase of the conflict dominated by drone warfare,The Russian army has made extensive use of the Migrant-6 and Witness drones purchased from Iran, and the Russian army has also purchased hypersonic missiles from the Indian company Brasmo. What is strange is why Russia is willing to import from Iran and India?
From an international point of view, this is due to the fact that armaments between countries** are subject to special political considerations。At present, Russia and Ukraine are still at war, and if they openly provide ** for Russia, they will inevitably be countered and condemned by the Western camp. Even Iran has never said in public that it has sold to the Russian army.
