Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DASJUDEN: Without going into details, there is a whole lot of hand holding going on with the Ukrainians by outside entities in regards to higher level staff functions. While the Ukrainians are good at certain things there are other countries that are better at doing those same things. To say that a country is the #2 military in the world when they are effectively relying on outside entities for a large portion of their logistics, intel, training and force generation is the part I take issue with. And I am totally OK with the hand holding. This war might mean we finally get serious about SFABs, both as a national capability and as a viable career path for some officers and NCOs. Considering what (I felt) was such a wasted effort for the last 10-20 years in IRQ and AFG, I am gratified to see some people taking our lessons and support to heart. I am also not terribly surprised with where you say we are helping, because it would be incredibly difficult for ANY country to create the kinds of things that we have and take for granted, such as NTC and JRTC. We have those things IMO, basically because we are a wealthy country and could make the investment ever since WWII. The Ukrainians are "building the airplane in flight", and they just don't have the time or depth on the bench to develop those mid- and senior-grades in more niche areas. They could do it on their own, but at the cost of filling more body bags. Like...I sort of can't wrap my head around how they are trying to get away from whole categories of Soviet equipment at the same time they are trying to fight a war, then receiving multiple variants of other donated vehicles from former WP countries...and keeping all that shit repaired, fueled, and armed. |

Is Russia incapable of training right now? Are they just throwing everyone right into the meat-grinder? Or are they throwing in what they have to while training most in Russia? Reports were that Russia had sent their training units to fight in Ukraine over the summer, but it’s possible they could rebuild them by pulling experienced troops out of Ukraine. What is the real state of the Russian training establishment? |

You're right. When a conventional unit can just go on exercises with partner countries and train the same tasks they would for their own work-up, you get most of the benefit, without the Army having to support some weird side-show career path. I think that is an oversight, because you lose a lot of continuity without a dedicated training team, and you could completely miss certain niche things that conventional units don't have time or personnel to become expert at, but that is exactly what they will do.

I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but...
I remember back in the Kharkiv offensive, thinking, man, the Ukes are really putting it to them, they must be killing thousands. But the official numbers never got that high, maybe the 6-700 range. I had the same thought on this Kherson run. We're hearing that it's a total rout, there are 20k RF soldiers with no chance of escape, they're getting slaughtered by arty. Then the numbers come in and it's 7-800 a day. I'm sorry, but it's a colossal failure that they let that many enemy soldiers escape across a river without cutting them a whole lot deeper than they did. Either there is a whole lot of wishful thinking going on with the major twitter guys referenced in this thread, or UA is barely muddling through. This is twice now that everyone is declaring a rout, and the official numbers are up 2-% from an average day. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're advancing, but this just doesn't add up. Either there were a lot less RF forces on the right bank than we were told, or UA did a poor job of roughing them up on their way out. Those guys are going to be a LOT harder to deal with on the left bank than they were on the right. |

Reddit here https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/yteagw/special_unit_omega_of_the_ukrainian_national/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb Thanks, that is an awesome video! I swear we saw a snippet of that one a week or so ago and speculated that it could be part of a bigger video. Just imagine what we’ll see when the war winds down and operational security isn’t a factor. Who wants to bet that it was a totally clueless mobik unit with full BMPs? In fairness, they may have been confused by the arty fire, and thought that the best option was to gun it and get out of the arty barrage. So they just kept plowing forward until they were all gone. Casualties were probably high. Also worth considering if the UA used a little arty precisely for this reason - to distract/confuse the crews and conceal their losses to ATGM fire. I recall there was another video way earlier in the war which may have shown this tactic. |

And a large number of the trainers were National Guard, not even full time soldiers (one of the guys I work with went last year). It is, but I'd rather be using what limited time I have training my own guys up to standard. Without going into details (because it'll trigger at least a 2 page rant) there's a reckoning occurring in Army Aviation, we're very bottom heavy right now and we really need to devote our time to training our new guys up. Having the SFABs around so an E6 can spend 2 weeks teaching integrating rotary wing attack aviation into a ground maneuver plan or the basics of reconnaissance and security operations would free guys like me up to get our junior guys up to speed at just being pilots. I totally see the value of having the SFABs around if for nothing else that it buys me more time to devote to my own guys. |

That's Awesome to see! She loves her country and was willing to risk everything to help defend it. BRAVO! To her and thr many others who work behind the lines in the shadows Where can I find out what kind of tactics partisans use against an occupying army? Other than shooting a couple of them which would be a suicide mission. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/367483/Screen_Shot_2022-11-12_at_9_20_13_AM-2597494.png https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/367483/Screen_Shot_2022-11-12_at_9_18_51_AM-2597496.png |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jungatheart: Man, please ease up on the acronyms. I have no idea what you just tried to say. Sorry I'm 2 months into a 4 month stay with Training and Doctrine Command. Here's the breakdown for you...SFAB = Security Forces Assistance Brigade. CAB= Combat Aviation Brigade. ABCT= Armor Brigade Combat Team. IBCT= Infantry Brigade Combat Team. COIN= Counter Insurgency. LSCO= Large Scale Combat Operations. |

For humanity's sake, let's hope this thread does not make it to 4000. Unfortunately, nearly guaranteed. Almost any way the war ends there will be plenty to discuss between here and there. Not to mention that it is (IMO) highly likely this doesn’t wind down overnight, and there will be aftershocks for the region well after the end of major fighting in Ukraine. Russian internal upheaval 2023. Belarus coup or turncoat 2023. Georgia 2023 or 2024. Chechnya 2024 or 2025. I guess it depends on how pertinent it seems to discuss those topics as a part of this thread, but I can easily see this thread going to 10,000. People still don’t really understand that this isn’t a regional border dispute, this is a watershed event in modern history and will shape the world like WWI shaped the world after it. |
