New weapons and tactics help Russian army escape the shadow of the Soviet Union

Today's Russian army no longer relies heavily on past Soviet achievements, new weapons models help Moscow develop more modern military tactics.

In the city of Seversk, located in the north of Donetsk province, the battlefield scene has become gloomy, when about 5,000 soldiers from four brigades of the Ukrainian Army (AFU) have become "zombies" and are trapped in shelters in the city and neighboring countryside.

The 7th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Army (RFAF) has captured the village of Serebryanka, and the 123rd Motorized Rifle Brigade of the RFAF is launching an offensive in the direction of Spolnoye. They are now only 5 km from the city of Seversk.

Meanwhile, the 10th, 54th, 109th Mechanized Infantry Brigades; 81st Airborne Brigade of the AFU, with a total strength of about 5,000 troops, were forced to hold their positions without daring to counterattack, due to the new weapons and new tactics of the RFAF.

The changes in the RFAF's command and tactics have brought positive results. Even on the main battlefield of Donbass, they stopped the "frontal attack" of the AFU armored forces. And not only did the RFAF innovate in tactics, it also equipped itself with many revolutionary weapons.

The Russian army was abandoning Soviet weapons and tactics; if they were to pursue Soviet tactics, it would now mean a breakthrough attack with large groups of troops, artillery fire to clear the way, concentrated tank attacks, and infantry advancing to dominate the battlefield.

In the first offensive operations of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the RFAF's tactics were to start with artillery preparation, followed by infantry assaults. In the opening area, the RFAF concentrated a large number of troops and weapons to achieve a tactical breakthrough; at the same time, there were also reserve forces, to take on the tasks of the second echelon.

However, this tactic could not be effective on the battlefield in Ukraine, because the US satellite and electronic intelligence systems knew all the deployment and movement of the RFAF. It was like a Red Alert and cleared the fog of war.

Western intelligence command centers also conduct a lot of target analysis based on large amounts of big data, using AI to precisely filter out valuable information. By analyzing the road and logistics situation, they can roughly analyze the direction of attack and the situation of Russian troops.

This made the Russian offensive extremely difficult, and now the RFAF began to abandon the traditional weapons and tactics of the Soviet army to start a new technological war. Even without infantry assaults or artillery preparation, it was still possible to surround enemy targets.

RFAF used smart mines to surround a large Ukrainian stronghold. Russian UAVs penetrated deep behind Ukrainian lines and dropped a new generation of smart mines. These smart mines can select different attack modes based on the threat of infiltration into their area and use sensors and equipment to determine the location of the target.

Now, Russian infantry can use smart mines to block all paths around Ukrainian positions, without having to surround them. In addition, the RFAF has developed a new generation of Dagger UAVs, with a maximum flight speed of 300 km/h. They can use the "Digital Patrol" acoustic sensor network to detect, classify, locate and predict the movement of enemy targets.

The Dagger UAV uses a laser target designation system to collect target information, and the UAV can automatically track targets within a range of 100 meters to 12 kilometers. Therefore, the RFAF does not need to deploy armored vehicles or infantry, but uses the Daggerk UAV to automatically search for and attack Ukrainian targets, deep behind the front lines.

On the Russia-Ukraine front, the last 5 kilometers of the supply route are very difficult, as Ukrainian drones search for and attack Russian transport trucks and even cargo motorcycles, 24 hours a day.

To overcome this problem, Russia's new generation of 4-axis transport UAV Motylek, can quickly transport heavy cargo, perform reconnaissance, search and rescue missions, and even evacuate wounded soldiers. With a payload of up to 250 kg, it effectively solves the difficulties in transporting supplies for the RFAF in the last 5 km.

The future of warfare is rapidly evolving towards unmanned and intelligent warfare. Whoever can take the lead in building a complete unmanned combat system will be able to seize the initiative on the battlefield.

Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned combat robotic systems, are undergoing explosive growth. They have evolved from traditional single UAV attacks to systematic smart warfare with “all-round vision.”

With new weapons and tactics, 5,000 Ukrainian troops in the city of Seversk had a hard time escaping the encirclement of the Russian army's intelligent and systematic unmanned combat system.

According to Russian intelligence, there are not only Ukrainian soldiers in the city of Seversk, but also many foreign mercenaries. Not only Colombian mercenaries, but also French and Danish mercenaries. But now it is very difficult for them to withdraw. (photo source Military Review, Ukrinform, Rvvoenkory).
