The Russian Way of War: Force Structure, Tactics, and Modernization of the Russian Ground Forces

De: Luis Ayala
  • Resumen

  • Russia’s 2014 annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, activity in Eastern Ukraine, saber rattling regarding the Baltics, deployment to Syria, and more assertive behavior along its borders have peeked interest in the Russian Armed Forces. This increased interest has caused much speculation about their structure, capabilities, and future development. Interestingly, this speculation has created many different, and often contradictory narratives about these issues. At any given time, assessments of the Russian Armed Forces vary between the idea of an incompetent and corrupt conscript army manning decrepit Soviet equipment and relying solely on brute force, to the idea of an elite military filled with Special Operations Forces who were the “polite people” or “little green men” seen on the streets in Crimea. This audiobook will attempt to split the difference between these radically different ideas by shedding some light on what exactly the Russian Ground Forces consist of, how they are structured, how they fight, and how they are modernizing.

    Russia covers more land mass than any other country. Its population density of 8.4 people
    per square kilometer make it one of the most sparsely populated countries on the planet.
    Russia’s ground forces have to be mobile and skilled in long-range deployment in order
    to deploy to threatened areas. Brigades deploy annually over a thousand kilometers to
    unfamiliar training areas. Emergency Readiness Deployment Exercises also move troop units
    over long distances to determine their ability to get to the ight eiciently and efectively.
    Brigade oicers are skilled in conducting road, rail, boat/ship and aviation unit movements.
    The Soviet Army’s entrance into Afghanistan and its later withdrawal were excellently
    executed. When the Russian Army hit rock bottom just before the 1994 incursion into
    Chechnya, it still did an impressive job of quickly pulling together pieces of its shattered
    army from all over the country.
