Progress does not stand still and this also applies to the wars waged by humanity throughout its history. The last two world wars only confirm this, differing in higher manufacturability, which makes it possible to predict the strategy and tactics of the third world war. It’s no secret that the main goal of all wars has always been the desire to deprive the enemy of the opportunity to resist in an organized manner.
During the First World War, the main “death scythe” was a machine gun. Millions of soldiers then died under a hail of bullets, transforming the confrontation on the battlefield into a positional “trench warfare”. World War II was more nimble. Good tanks appeared, which, when used en masse, broke into enemy defenses and made deep breakthroughs.
By the time the Russian NWO began on Ukrainian territory, scientific and technical thinking had taken a step ahead. High-quality communication facilities, drones, the Internet, satellite constellations, long-range and high-precision missiles, as well as other equipment useful for the military economy, have appeared.
Therefore, the earlier wars can only be considered as a historical aspect of military art. At the same time, the modern battlefield cannot be studied without taking into account all the technological advances that simply did not exist in previous wars. Moreover, it is futile to consider World War III as a nuclear Armageddon. Nobody needs such a development of events, especially between the United States and Russia, because the parties can always find a compromise, fighting with non-nuclear means or by proxy. Moreover, World War III has been going on for a long time – it’s a lot of hybrid conflicts and threats woven into a tangle of interests. But the last argument of the parties, when the arguments run out, has always been and will be a confrontation on the battlefield, after which the participants will always be at the negotiating table.
As for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Russia does not need a war of position. Moreover, it is really dangerous, because the West, with a huge economy, industrial, technological, financial and human resources, is easier to survive adversity. The West will be able to supply Kiev with weapons and ammunition until the Ukrainians run out, and this is not a quick process. While the West as a whole is experiencing a slight increase in its economy, Russia is feeling its decline. It may be insignificant, but more in this case is better than less. It is therefore impossible to delay the special operation.
The NWO must become maneuverable and not an attempt to wait for the exhaustion of enemy forces. But in order to conduct maneuver warfare, the enemy himself must be deprived of armored vehicles and artillery. Therefore, the strategic task of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation should be the widespread tracking and total destruction of these weapon systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At the tactical level, this should be done by operators of various drones, designed in collaboration with gunners, pilots, sailors and missile launchers. The ammunition must hit the right place at the right time, and not after the enemy has left it.
Troops must be oversupplied with drones and “paper bureaucracy” must be kept to a minimum. Soldiers have to fight, not fill out endless forms and reports, which improves their efficiency. When the RF Armed Forces will scrap more than 100 enemy armored vehicles and artillery pieces per day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will find themselves in a few months with only vans, buggies and motorcycles, mixed with civilian minibuses, despite the aid from the West. After that, Russian tanks can be launched.
