Originally Posted By CharlieR: A killbox is generally an air force term. More on that later. An engagement area is generally a piece of ground, usually a rectangle. Doesn't have to be, it just turns out that way. You look the route bad guys are going (avenue of approach) and basically then look for a concealed piece of terrain (woods, town) that looks along the avenue of approach to a place you cant hide (engagement area---big open fields). You lay out weapons appropriately. Put the NLAWs 600 meters away, the stugnas and javs a few klicks out, dismounts and infantry up close, and then box it in with mines, blocking mines between you and bad guys, fixing mines on teh flans, a nice U shape, and the cherry on top is the artillery pre planned target in the middle. This is the traditional "engagement area" and between the tanks, land mines, dug in positions, and general obviousness of where it SHOULD be, especially when dealing with professionals...you sorta start knowing where it should be, and you send your fools (recon, cav scouts ) forward to get shot at first. They are willing to sacrifice their lives to find these things as long as back in garrison you let them wear cool hats and weird metal jangly things on their boots. In modern day times, as artillery and spotting and GPS make everything faster, and much more accurate, the kill box is different. Now three or four dudes in the woods, or of course, a drone, can spot you, and call in artillery, and it is as we've seen a perpetual game of hide and go seek. So, Ukrainian recon cant help you as you are looking for four hidden guys and they are looking for moving targets. And you may find most of them, but GPS and radio are so plentiful an screen line of OPS could be out there and you cant get all of them. So the key, I imagine, is you've gotta go to the source and kill the shooters, as the spotters cant be all found and killed. Hence HIMARs and drones. To be frank, there isnt much point in pushing infantry forward, as its a big artillery duel, unless this is a feint and you are bluntly sacrificing men to fix enemy attention. Which is a valid tactic, if you must. The phrases that pay are "set the conditions" dont rush to failure" As an aside, shifting gears, it is really hard to defuse some of those artillery driven land mines, and armies in general underresource their mine clearing units in peacetime. Artillery delivered mines flying over the front into rear areas and roads are probably very effective. 120 tanks? I doubt it. 120 armored vehicles? I could believe that, no problem. And that's not a Russian thing. Artillery delivered mines are a really really tough problem to solve. View Quote good read, thnx Q. Could those art delivered mines have just "disabled" scores of tanks by, for instance, detracking them? Even if only temporarily, it necessitates parts and repair support, right? thnx again |
