Sulla taitaa olla vaikeuksia menna yhtakaan abstraktiotasoa ylospain. Hanhan on kahtena viimeisena hommanaan johtanut noita doktriineja (ai niin, sekin on taktiikasta taso ylospain) kehittavia ja kirjottavia laitoksia.
Laitan nyt taman yhden hanen henk.koht. projektinsa tahan maistiaisiksi ja saat sitten tutkia loput ihan itse:
"
. McMaster conducted a 2016 Pentagon study on how the U.S. should deal with Russia. McMaster warned that Russia took advantage of the U.S. being bogged down in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars by studying "U.S. capabilities and vulnerabilities and embarked on an ambitious and largely successful modernization effort," citing "the combination of unmanned aerial systems and offensive cyber and advanced electronic warfare capabilities depict a high degree of technological sophistication" that Russia used in Ukraine.
As a result, Russia's technological warfare has now caught up with the U.S., McMaster argued in a May 2016
speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies:
“We spend a long time talking about winning long-range missile duels,” said McMaster. But long-range missiles only get you through the front door. The question then becomes what will you do when you get there.
“Look at the enemy countermeasures,” he said, noting Russia’s use of nominally semi-professional forces who are capable of “dispersion, concealment, intermingling with civilian populations…the ability to disrupt our network strike capability, precision navigation and timing capabilities.” All of that means “you’re probably going to have a close fight… Increasingly, close combat overmatch is an area we’ve neglected, because we’ve taken it for granted.”
So how do you restore overmatch? The recipe that’s emerging from the battlefield of Ukraine,
says McMaster, is more artillery and better artillery, a mix of old and new.
...
“We’re out-ranged by a lot of these systems and they employ improved conventional munitions, which we are going away from. There will be a 40- to 60-percent reduction in lethality in the systems that we have,” he said. “Remember that we already have fewer artillery systems. Now those fewer artillery systems will be less effective relative to the enemy. So we need to do something on that now.”
McMaster also noted that the Russians "have caught up to us" in terms of how "they’ve invested in combat vehicles."
"They’ve invested in advanced protective systems and active protective systems," McMaster said. "We've got to get back ahead on combat vehicle development."
It would seem that McMaster understands the threat Russia poses to the West and could be an important check on Trump's warm overtures to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin."
