After the Ukrainian war entered its seventh month, and in light of the outbreak of battles in southern Ukraine, amid counter-attacks from Kyiv to restore Kherson, new weapons from both sides and different military tactics entered the battlefield.
what happened?
During the war, Russia followed several military plans, starting from the tactic of "advancing slowly" to the strategy of "adaptation in the field" and the introduction of military weapons, the last of which was the "S-350" super-capable bombers, as well as supplying the number of its army.
Ukraine, for its part, responded with several tactics, the latest of which was the strategy of "sowing chaos" in the back lines, as well as deploying military vehicles made of wood and rubber to hide and camouflage the battlefield.
New tactics of the Russian army
At the beginning of the war, Russian forces attempted to quickly capture the capital, Kyiv, but with the resistance of the Ukrainians, Moscow shifted its focus to the Donbass region in the east and changed its strategy.
For the past two months, at least on the ground, the conflict has fallen into a stalemate, as Russia has sought to apply the tactic of "frozen conflict" or "advance slowly."
Russian forces pursued a "devastating strategy" to capture the cities of Severodonetsk and Lysechhansk. The plan is based on "superior firepower and gradual advance", relying on long-range artillery, flat terrain and short Russian supply lines, according to the New York Times.
Moscow has made a series of updates to its forces in the battles, the last of which was two days ago, the deployment of the modern air defense system "S-350" at a base near the border of Ukraine, which can engage 16 targets simultaneously, track 40 targets, and repel aircraft by 90 percent, according to the website. Military The Drive.
On August 30, the Russian military moved S-300 batteries from its positions in Syria to the Russian port of Novorossiysk near Crimea, according to the Israeli satellite company Image International.
The Russian army follows the so-called "field adaptation" or "chain of adaptation" strategy, which is based on monitoring, analysis, decision-making, and then implementation.
Increase in forces, in an increase that is the largest of its kind, the Russian President issued, last week, a decision to raise the number of the army from 1.9 million recruits to more than two million during the month of January.
Commenting, Russian military analyst Vladimir Igor says that the Russian army relies on the tactic of a surprise strike, and then trying to calm the opponent, until he accepts the consequences of the strike, and this is achieved by reducing activity to its maximum limits.
He added that Ukrainian forces are increasingly relying on less trained forces, such as those in the Regional Defense Forces and the National Guard, to support exhausted units on the front lines.
He continued, "The Russian army is slowly advancing in Ukraine to reduce losses, and Western aid to Kiev will not prevent Moscow from achieving its goals."
Anti-Ukrainian Strategies
On the other hand, Ukraine is pursuing a series of counter military tactics, which it started with the urban war around the capital, Kyiv, which thwarted Russian attempts to control the capital and move the battles to the Ukrainian east.
To break the Russian hegemony over the Ukrainian east, Ukraine followed the method of "starting the offensive", last week, the battles on the southern front, especially in the city of Kherson, to try to break the stalemate of the war and the gradual progress followed by the Russians.
In an attempt to repel the Russian attack, Kyiv began a tactic called "sowing chaos" that relies on carrying out attacks from the Ukrainian resistance and "the network of warriors" in the back lines of the Russians, most notably the attack on a Russian air base in Crimea, the bombing of a major bridge in Miltopol, and targeting the headquarters The Russian fleet in the Black Sea, in order to break some of the teeth of the Russians and mitigate the impact of their attacks, according to the British newspaper "Financial Times".
The Ukrainian Defense Forces are using wooden and rubber models of US "HIMARS" missiles to lure Russian forces to launch long-range "Caliber" cruise missiles to destroy them, thus camouflaging their forces and draining the capabilities of the Russian army.
Recently, Kyiv has been pursuing a tactic of "political assassinations", targeting Russian military and civilian leaders; The most prominent of them are the Russian journalist Daria Dugina, and the head of the Mikhailovka administration, Ivan Suchko, according to Russian and Western reports.
The Financial Times says Ukraine activated its "warriors' network" at the end of July, as Ukraine's elite special forces ramped up operations in Russian-held territory.
Ukraine sends groups of snipers on missions in the buffer zones between Russian and Ukrainian forces with the aim of targeting prominent military leaders.
Military affairs researcher Mina Adel says that the Russian army is currently adopting a method of "field adaptation" that relies on monitoring, analysis, decision-making, and then carrying out attacks.
He added to "Sky News Arabia" that the Russian army showed impressive capabilities in applying this tactic a decade ago after changing its military plans based on the battles in Syria and the application in the Ukrainian war, in addition to weapons, including Su-30 and Su-fighters. 35”, and by pushing the wheeled air defense units “S-350”, “Walbok M3” and “Banister”, Russia achieved its air and defense superiority on the battlefield.
Russia also relies on electronic warfare systems and means to isolate Ukrainian units from their command centers, cut communications and impede reconnaissance operations, which affects the Ukrainian military decision.
As for the Ukrainian army, its air force relied on the tactic of preserving and desperate in battle, training pilots to take off and landing from main roads and secondary airports, permanent maneuvering with air defense units, and using light forces and units with qualitative armament, in addition to Western military aid such as the American “HIMARS”, Javelin missiles and drones. pilot, and finally
