The Horizon Audiofiles - Ep 026 - Russian Views On The Future Of Manoeuvrist Approach

In spite of the expectations of Moscow, the war in Ukraine has
quickly turned into a war of attrition. Based on open-source
military publications, this paper aims to present Russian views
on the causes of positional war as well as on the future of
manoeuvre warfare. While not questioning the purpose of the war,
in between the lines, Russian military thinkers acknowledge the
responsibility of the political leadership for underestimating
Ukraine and using military force in a wasteful manner. On the
other hand, they also recognise that the Russian military
thinkers were selective when considering lessons of the previous
decades, disregarding trends that were pointing to the heavily
positional nature of contemporary wars. Finding ways to implement
manoeuvre warfare in the current operational environment will
most likely be high on the agenda of Russian military thought, as
recent publications indicate.
