Episode 15: The Russian Army’s Approach to Warfare
The modern Russian conduct of ground operations is a curious mix of the novel and the familiar, with technologically sophisticated efforts coinciding with artillery-centric battles of attrition.
In this adversarial studies seminar, Major Amos Fox will discuss the key characteristics of the contemporary Russian approach to warfare, and the lessons which can be gleaned from the Russian army’s recent combat deployments.
The seminar will examine the ways in which Russia combines novel and conventional tools, the role of idiosyncratic organisational constructs such as the battalion tactical group in Russian operational art, and the pivotal operational and strategic role of conducting urban sieges in modern Russian planning.
