Why is Russia, known as the world’s second most powerful military power, can only fight a protracted war with Ukraine?

Can Russia, the world’s second most powerful military power, only fight a protracted war with Ukraine? The argument is wrong.

In the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Russia has achieved its desired goal. It warns Ukraine and NATO not to play small tricks. You cannot afford to offend the Russian nation.

No one will show mercy in a real war. As long as the Russian army does not take into account the people's livelihood, it can quickly destroy the entire territory of Ukraine. But Russia will not do this, nor will it drag military conflicts into the quagmire.

After two rounds of consultations, Russia will not give in until the two sides reach consensus on the issues. This type of military conflict cannot be called a protracted war at all. What Russia wants is the end, not the means.

The third round of negotiations is about to begin. We hope that NATO member states, led by the United States, will actively propose a constructive ceasefire agreement instead of adding fuel to the fire.

The Russo-Ukrainian war has entered the eleventh day. The strong polar bear is still dragging its scarred limbs and broken arms, hiding in the black forest, lingering, terrified, hesitating and trapped in a desperate situation, about to collapse. .

There are three main reasons for the Polar Bear’s defeat in Ukraine:

First, the military reform failed. Burning a Kettle carried out a comprehensive reorganization of the Russian army. According to the experience of the Syrian anti-terrorism battlefield, the Russian army The grass-roots combat is designed as a heavy-armed combined battalion...that is, a tank company, an air defense company, a rocket launcher company, and reconnaissance, air defense, electronics, logistics, communications and other units to form a heavy-armed battalion-level assault unit. This kind of synthetic battalion lacks an infantry cluster. For protection, it is easy to form a long snake formation with weak wings, which is very conducive to guerrillas armed with javelins, stingers, and flying needles to launch small-scale blitzes from the flanks, hit and run, and impossible to defend against. Due to the lack of infantry cover, this combination The battalion cannot engage in military confrontation between major powers.

2. Polar Bear’s tactical errors

Sun Tzu’s Art of War said, “Know your enemy and yourself, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.”

Before the war, Polar Bear did not conduct an in-depth analysis and judgment of the Uzbek army’s actual combat capabilities and speed. In terms of reaction ability, he knew nothing about the entire defensive front of the Ukrainian army. He did not learn the lesson of being beaten to the head with a poisonous stinger in Afghanistan, the graveyard of the empire. He still used the same old tactics of attacking Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Afghanistan in an attempt to invade Kiev. To control the overall situation, they did not expect that the forward assault unit was completely wiped out, and the reserve team was in a dilemma and completely fell into a quagmire.

3. Outdated weapons and equipment

The Russian individual combat weapons seized by the Ukrainian army only included submachine guns, grenades, and daggers, but no anti-tank missiles, individual cloud explosive bombs, or anti-aircraft missiles. , with just a few cemetery tanks, they all engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and without even seeing the Ukrainian soldiers, the entire army was wiped out, which was horrific.

The Russian platypus was actually equipped with World War II iron rods for dive attacks. Advanced combat aircraft did not have precision-guided missiles. No wonder the Russian army reported destroying thousands of targets. As a result, the Ukrainian army became more and more courageous as they fought, and the polar bears were unable to move even an inch.

It can be seen that military combat units must be organized according to the enemy’s defense strength. Heavy troop groups can only conduct short-distance assaults under the cover of infantry and cannot go deep alone. In modern times where javelins, stingers, and flying needles are all-pervasive, During the war, it is estimated that armored infantry companies carrying individual anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, cloud bombs, mortars and heavy machine guns will be required to form large-scale division-level combat units to conduct assaults with the support of air and anti-aircraft firepower. , Only then can we conquer the city like a broken bamboo.

You have money to fight the war, but what Maozi lacks now is money

The problems that money can solve are not big problems, but the key is lack of money.

Modern warfare is dominated by missiles, which not only cost a lot but also require strong reproduction and supplementary capabilities. Fighting with a big country consumes more supplies, and ordinary countries cannot afford to fight a protracted war.

A protracted war?

Have you underestimated the word lasting?

The Gulf War when the United States fought against Iraq

took one month and 11 days.

NATO bombed Yugoslavia

It took 78 days.

They are all called swift and unparalleled.

How many days have Maozi and Ermao been fighting?

Is this going to be a protracted war?

Your double standard is a bit serious. . .

It now appears that sanctions have a greater impact on NATO and the EU. The losses were heavy. So Russia does not want to stop the war in Ukraine.

Some of our "military fans" still have some deviations in their judgment of Russia's overall military strength. Russia's national defense power is divided into two parts. One is nuclear weapons, which are the basic guarantee for Russia's final survival. Nuclear weapons must have trinity (land-based, sea-based, air and space) strike and effective defense capabilities. There are currently only three companies in the world with this basically sound capability (Britain and France are not included)! This is also what the United States fears most when provoking Russia! This time around the crisis in Ukraine, after Russia announced a "special military operation", the United States understood it and basically could only express its support for Xiao Wu. This shows that Russia is not just saying it casually! The second is Russia’s conventional military strength. Russia is currently a major manufacturer of conventional weapons and equipment. It has a complete range of categories and occupies a large share of the world arms market. It has weakened after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union and its supply has also been reduced due to economic problems. However, There has been no interruption in meeting basic equipment and updating weapon systems. From this perspective, the combat effectiveness of Russia's conventional armed forces should be ranked in the top three (the fighting spirit of having the courage to sacrifice and sacrifice is also a powerful combat effectiveness). The main factor affecting the combat effectiveness of the Russian army is that its economy is relatively single. Its energy exports and foreign trade are easily affected by the ups and downs of world prices (controlled by Europe and the United States). However, the Russian army will definitely consider a considerable amount of self-sustaining reserves before planning a conflict. ! This is the indispensable wisdom for any big country. Finally, let’s talk about the reasons why the Russian army wants to fight a "protracted war": First, from a long-term perspective, Ukraine is a neighbor that cannot be moved away (originally belonging to the former Soviet Union). Its culture and living customs are very close to Russia. From a perspective, there is no need for the Russian military to "kill the killer". The problem lies in the fact that the top leaders of Ukraine were coerced by the United States and threatened Russia's homeland security! This can be seen from Ukrainian President Zelensky's repeated complaints that NATO "will not save others until death" after the war began. The fate of his pawns can be seen! Therefore, the Russian army took the initiative to seize key points (provinces and cities in eastern and southern Ukraine, especially nuclear power plants and nuclear facilities), separated the effective forces of the Ukrainian army in large detours and defeated them one by one, cut off all connections between Ukraine and the outside world, and prepared to use "special military forces" Operation "made NATO feel that once it intervenes, there will be a "nuclear" element! At the same time, the negotiation time is used to allow Ukrainian senior leaders to "feel" the purpose of the Russian army, forcing Ukrainian senior leaders to reflect on the hypocrisy of the United States and Europe! Promoting talks and peace through fighting was Russia's strategic wisdom this time. It's a bit like fighting in a china shop. You're fighting for the opponent's strength, but you have to worry about the loss to the porcelain (people). The lowest (same clan and same clan)! This kind of highly technical battle makes NATO countries led by the United States very anxious! They began to instigate the Ukrainian army to shoot poor people in the battle against the Russian army, causing casualties and then blaming the Russian army for their despicable means to win the sympathy of the international community! But no matter what, the situation in Ukraine has been firmly controlled by Russia! In the next third negotiation between Russia and Ukraine, you can see the results that should appear! This is why the Russian army did not "destroy everything" during the attack! But preparing for the aftermath of Ukraine’s current government and Ukraine’s future is the top priority.

War is not a treat. Others will not appreciate you for your kindness. To others, you will always be the aggressor. And the coming international sanctions will not be reduced by this. After all, they have a population of more than 40 million. If you want to win, relying on "mercy" will not work. It will only demoralize you and eventually lead to failure. Allowing safe passage for civilians to leave would be merciful enough. If the Soviet Union had followed the example of the Soviet Union's attack on Yugoslavia and carried out large-scale bombings, blowing up buildings one after another, the so-called urban guerrilla warfare would be a joke. As the city was gradually destroyed, morale must have rapidly disintegrated. Now you are hiding in a civilian house that you don't attack, drinking Coke while hitting your soldiers with headshots, and hitting your fighter planes like sparrows. You don't worry about safety. It's strange that your morale is not high.

Does the poster have any misunderstandings about "protracted war"? Seeing that Russia is about to complete the encirclement of Ukraine's main armed forces, it is meaningless to talk about a protracted war now!
