Read an advance report on fire support trends in the Russo-Ukraine conflict today. The trends are disturbing.
UAS surveillance plus Russian thermobaric artillery rounds means that light infantry forces are either dug in or well done.
Russians also use DPICM plus those thermobaric rounds. We'll soon have neither.
In a combined DPICM/thermobaric fire mission from Russian MLRS lasting 3 minutes, two Ukrainian mechanized battalions were wiped out.
Artillery is causing 85% (!) of casualties on both sides.
you can cross Eastern Ukraine jumping through thermobaric ordnance and don't touch the ground
This conflict is putting tactical development into hyperdrive. Increasing use of combined arms companies. US way behind.
combined arms as a core competency has been neglected in defense focus for nearly 20 years
Russia mastered loop from UAS to IDF. We haven't.
C-RAM and C-UAS as much needed as longer range/superior performance artillery capabilities
Russian losses of UAVs are staggering even for a "limited" conflict, if Ukrainians got better C-UAS systems that'll help a lot
Russia is spreading artillery in battery size down to maneuver battalion level. Army concentrating it at division level. (DIVARTY)
Smaller loop between maneuver and fires = faster, more responsive integration, which is vital.
