West's Proxy War in Ukraine Exposed NATO's 'Failed' New Warfare Tactics

West's Proxy War in Ukraine Exposed NATO's 'Failed' New Warfare Tactics
Sputnik



The Kiev regime has been sending its troops against Russian defenses, racking up massive human losses while failing to turn the tide of its botched counteroffensive, despite massive shipments of NATO weaponry. Furthermore, Russia's state-of-the-art unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have been used en masse to target Ukrainian military equipment.
The Ukraine conflict has not only compellingly shown that modern-day warfare has changed, but has also exposed the complete failure of NATO war tactics in the face of these new conditions, reported military-focused US publication 19FortyFive.
NATO patrons of the Kiev regime have been increasingly exasperated over how Ukraine’s counteroffensive has failed to deliver results, despite the billions' worth of weapons continuously sent there. Both Western supporters of Kiev and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky have been egging on Ukrainian troops towards “massive assaults” that “have become suicidal,” the publication stated. But the “fast, large-scale blitzkrieg they envisioned” remained a figment of their imagination.


 NATO’s "strategy" in Ukraine backfired on all fronts because it was “not fact-based”, ex-US Department of Defense analyst Karen Kwiatkowski told Sputnik

“Ideology and domestic interest-based, in some cases based on financial bribery and energy blackmail by the US, it was a strategy of finance and military aid/contracts rather than an actual strategy.”

Referring to a Ukrainian top General admitting earlier that there would likely be no “deep and beautiful breakthrough” in its counteroffensive against Russian troops, the pundit added:

“In a world with well-informed, logical and humanitarian leadership in Kiev and Washington, we would indeed consider Valery Zaluzhny's evaluation as a precursor to immediate negotiations with Russia.”

Current warfare is similarly “more gradual,” the report insisted. It drew attention to how NATO doctrine put into practice in its proxy war against Russia in Ukraine clashed with the demands of the times. 

Furthermore, Ukrainian troops’ training by NATO failed to “cover the reality of modern drone warfare,” the outlet stated, referencing US Army veterans’ expert opinions.

Thus, the alliance’s “offensives based on combined arms maneuver,” such as tanks and infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) breaching defense lines, supported by an array of artillery and air power, failed to work for Ukraine, as per the columnist.

Ukrainian attempts at assaults utilizing large armored units resulted in heavy losses. Such attacks, where success hinges on a superlative level of coordination, is a feat that NATO armies “spend years” honing, it was added. However, in Ukraine’s Armed Forces, staffed with mostly recently mobilized civilians, such attacks become what pundits call a “meat grinder.” 

 Furthermore, throwing such troops at Russia’s superlative defense lines, with vast minefields, anti-tank ditches, and anti-tank pyramid-shaped concrete defense obstacles, known as "dragon's teeth," is futile – something that Russia has been proving repeatedly throughout its special military operation.
