Russian army is undergoing a deepening transformation, going through a multifaceted and phased process of modernization. These changes are reflected, among others, on battle tactics, the benefit of the Russian army has a Syrian bridgehead for practicing new techniques.
Polish edition of Defense24 drew attention to the development of a number of tactics, used by the military from the Russian Federation.
So, celebrated, that significantly increased the value of artillery, used for precision strikes. Significantly increased the effect of its use due to the appearance of new products, modernization of old models and widespread implementation of an integrated automated command and fire control system.
Along with this, tactics of supporting ground units with fire from tank guns began to be practiced. As a result, MBT, capable of firing at a distance of 12 km, began to be used as mobile artillery. So, shell OF-128, created in the framework of the ROC "Telnik", striking an area of 41 quarter. m.
Having gained experience in fighting in the Chechen campaign, Russian tankers replenished their arsenal of receptions with a "carousel". It implies the constant change of MBT in the firing position.: while one car is firing, another is preparing for her. The high density of fire thus created is able to mislead the enemy about the true number of trunks of opposing forces. In this case, to cover the tanks, participating in the "carousel" in the city, anti-aircraft systems ZSU-24-2 or Tunguska are used, firing at ground targets.
Another tactical novelty, according to Defense24, is the "Syrian rampart", combining massive fire and active maneuvering. Tanks or other combat vehicles move one after another at distances from 20 to 100 m, firing at a specific sector. In this case, it is important to provide cover for equipment from the flanks from the effects of anti-tank weapons. This technique allows you to effectively crack wedges of the enemy’s defense in several places and go deep into enemy positions.
A technique was developed, in which the tank fires from two positions - the main and the spare. On each of them MBT does not linger longer than on 3-5 seconds. primary goal – provoke the enemy to open fire, which allows you to detect enemy firing points and find out the strength of the enemy.
According to the Polish edition, listed tactical innovations are evidence of, that "the Russian army seeks a dynamic manner of warfare".
