HOW NATO MILITARY DOCTRINE FAILED UKRAINE ON THE BATTLEFIELD
>This will also doom the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ — in part because these forces were trained to wage the Cold War, and Russia has evolved
>Many Western military specialists do not appreciate the evolution in warfare. They believe that NATO’s “combined arms” doctrine will break the Russian Army. Unfortunately, emerging technology increased defensive firepower to the point where it defeats the protection capability of the attacker. The combination of artillery and drones destroys any attacking force before it can penetrate in depth. So far NATO leadership does not seem to have adopted its doctrine, equipment, or professional training to the new environment.
> NATO doctrine evolved from the U.S. “Air Land Battle” developed to stop massed Soviet tanks from breaking through Germany’s Fulda Gap in the 1980s. Frontline units affected no more than 15km, maximum range for artillery at the time.
> War in Ukraine upended this environment. Proliferation of drones enabled both sides to establish persistent observation 30 –100 km in depth. Strike systems like short-range first-person view (FPV) drones can range 30 km beyond the front, and fixed-wing drones such as “Lancets” can reach 70 km. Artillery range grew from 15km to 50km and in some cases 70km.
> At the battle of Krinki, UK advisers experimented with new amphibious warfare doctrine, sacrificing the Ukrainian Marine Corps in the process. Even U.S. advisers thought they had zero chance to succeed. Feedback from the front was filtered through the prism of familiar NATO military culture and rarely resulted in updated NATO’s doctrine and training models.
> Observing the latest NATO exercise in the Baltic, French soldiers still clear trenches, in large, clustered groups, using small arms. The only drone visible belongs to the reporter taking PR shots.
