Red Dawn tactics
Glad they let everyone know their MO.
FYI re Putin's policy choices vis-a-vis the US:
Alexander Dugin’s book “Foundations of Geopolitics” has been used as a textbook in Russia and has had influence in military and political circles in Russia. In it, he advocates the following measures against Ukraine and the US:
The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia is a geopolitical book by Aleksandr Dugin. Its publication in 1997 was well received in Russia; it has had significant influence within the Russian military, police and foreign policy elites[1][2] and has been used as a textbook in the Academy of the General Staff of the Russian military…
Ukraine should be annexed by Russia because “Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics”. Ukraine should not be allowed to remain independent, unless it is cordon sanitaire, which would be inadmissible.[9]…
Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists”. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.[9]
No matter the time, no matter the technology, Infantry is still the Queen of Battle.
learned? i thought it was doctrine...
A classic guerrilla warfare tactic. This will grind the Russians down with a h passing week.
Shoot and scoot is generally a good idea when involved in any kind of sniping. 1 shot, maybe 2 then git outta Dodge .

Burn and turn. Fricassee and flee. Paddle and skedaddle.
Cook and book!
Free Republic field marshals
“Learned”
This is common tactical procedure. Nothing new.
yep... “Shoot” from schools or near hospitals or other concentrated civilian areas and “Scoot” before the return fire kills you along with all the civilians in the immediate area.
Great Soldiering!!
Warfare tactics will be redrawn when this is over, no doubt.
Bump..
“A Ukrainian army lieutenant, who gave only her last name Chornovol“
Tetiana Chornovol is a member of the Ukraine Legislature (the Rada), and now an anti- tank gunner, who was also a protest leader in the EuroMaidan protests, and who famously took a bad beating/attempted murder from a group of thugs, because of anti-corruption exposés.
Gotta love her.
So basically the Russian Federation is being brought to its knees by old fashioned southern “bushwhackin” techniques?
Substitute the word Russian for British:
