Flaws in Russian Logic
There are lot of flaws in Russian War Logic
I think Russians soldiers are made to think that War is 9 to 5 job.
There is a family and weekend treats.
Few examples of Ceylon worth revisiting.
We were fifgting the ruthless terrorist formation. They were ruthless to the extent that itself lead to their demise. There was no retreat for front line LTTE recruits.
Death or Advance.
We trained a battalion on 400 commandos. On their first field outing 90% of them deserted.
Some of them joint hand with underworld.
The best sniper became the number one contract killer.
Then army change the tactics.
No two soldiers from the same village was not in one company. What it means is dead ones were randomly distributed and there was no panic when dead bodies arrived the home base.
Only success was reported never failures.
Families and soldiers would bid farewell so they would never see them again.
Only One target.
Eliminate the enemy inch by inch.
No carpet bombing and minimal civilian casualties. After all Tamils are our own brothers and sisters.
LTTE used civilians for cover. Brutality of LTTE was exposed.
Civilian food supply was never interrupted.
Suddenly, army started wining in small but strategic wins.
Little by little Tamils begin to trust army more than the terrorists.
If Russian soldiers are not trained to become battle hardened, I do not see how Russian making a headway.
It should be target oriented and not saving life for another day. They are saving mother Russia and life is expendable in certain circumstances.
Winning has to be the goal.
Attrition gives room for terrorists to make bold efforts. Attrition is only favarable to depleted side.
Russian have not understood this logis but Ukrainian have and that is why they are successful.
Failure begets failure.
This war should come to an end dragging it until President Trump term end is the goal of Ukraine. I think President Trump's input has no meaning and MIC knows it well.
I did not follow the Ukraine-Russian War for long time.
These are few of my observations, of course after the fact.
1. Number One
Why Zelensky was asking 30 days instead of 3 days of "Peace Talks".
They were getting ready for a big plan and they needed at least 30 more days to plant all the gear.
If Russians stupidly gave that allowance the devastation would have been of much bigger scale.
2. It was not a solitary Ukraine Effort.
It was NATO operatives but Britain was leading the pack.
3. Fist target would have been the Crimean Bridge to begin with but was not ready on the first of June.
So Zelensky needed time.
Guys from UK were rehearsing.
4. Russian should be thankful for the premature attack.
Zelensky probably would have been impatient.
Drug addicts are very impulsive.
5. Nobody holds "Peace Talks" in the middle of a Big battle.
We in Ceylon have had enough experience with L.T.T.E.
Every time when we had "Peace Talks" the end result was much worse than the previous time.
We decided no Peace but War.
The credit goes to our Field Marshal.
It is simple buying time for preparations.
That was the biggest mistake of Russians.
Nobody gives time for the opposition in politics and this is more so in war.
6. Worst of all is trusting Americans and British.
History is the proof.
7. One does not fight convention war against terrorists.
Ceylon was a good example.
Study L.T.T.E. War.
They (L.T.T.E.) are still planning after 25 years and already have infiltrated the current government.
That is how terrorist behave.
Terrorists live and die as terrorists.
That is in their blood.
Extermination is the only solution.
Russia has to press the peddle harder now.
