What was behind the now famous 'Little Green Men' in the Crimea? Maskiroka, the old Russian practice of military deception and the Crimea was a textbook example. Based on five principles:
- Surprise
- Kamufliazh - camouflage
- Demonstrativnye manevry - manoeuvres intended to deceive
- Skrytie - concealment
- Imitatsia - the use of decoys and military dummies
- Dezinformatsia - disinformation, a knowing attempt to deceive
I know this subject, let alone the 'men' have appeared in threads on the Ukraine, but to my surprise the word Maskiroka rarely appears.
The BBC has a 20 minute radio programme and an accompanying article:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31020283
Although to date the intervention and now invasion of the Ukraine has reportedly seen those 'Men' in a more conventional mode, losing considerable numbers.

Two versions of this article by Dr Rod Thornton, now @ Kings War Studies, are available and the titles used vary. His bio:http://www.kcl.ac.uk/sspp/department.../thornton.aspx
An Abstract:The shorter version 'Russian Hybrid Warfare' is via this blogsite:http://defenceindepth.co/2015/10/12/...ybrid-warfare/While Western militaries recognise the logic and necessity of ‘irregular warfare’ in their military operations, the manifold aspects of irregular fighting have yet to be mastered fully. Information warfare, for example, appears to be a tool more capably employed by Russia, to the detriment of NATO. Rod Thornton explains how and why Russia has ‘won’ in Crimea by affording subversive information campaigns primacy in its military operations. Acknowledging the twofold constraints of international law and co-ordination that face Western governments seeking to play the same game, Thornton nonetheless expounds how the West might better pursue asymmetry in the security realm.
The full version from the RUSI Journal is fully available, unusually IMHO, on:
