Main problem of war
The main problem with the war now is that neither generals nor politicians understand that there will be no new heroes in the army who can stop tanks with machine guns and fight for every hole in the landing.
The Ukrainian miracle of 2022 was not created by the hands of generals and politicians - it was hundreds of thousands of the best people in the world who, in one impulse, faced the end of their lives and went to war to sell their lives for a higher price, and it was this desperate national rage that defeated the Russian army.
For two years, the volunteer fighters have been fighting against an enemy with superior resources on their heroism and motivation. But the heroes die, get wounded, get sick, and get overworked.
It will no longer be possible to mobilize heroes.
Fighting with arrows on the map and orders to hold on to life will not work anymore.
The army needs to be generated.
We will have to mobilize ordinary people in ordinary, non-militant professions.
The war will be fought not by heroism, but by careful planning, timely equipment of defense lines, high-quality organization of communications, intelligence, control, electronic warfare, electronic signals intelligence, autonomous power supply, and the use of drones hundreds of times more than people.
Will the army need infantrymen? Yes. But there will never be enough of them, they will be the biggest deficit. Saving the lives of infantrymen will be the basis of modern tactics.
And ordinary people will join the army on their own if the army realizes these simple things and offers people professions that will allow them to be effective in modern technological warfare. There is no need to recruit more assaultmen. Mobilization will be successful when the army starts to change itself to save infantry lives, and when there are more engineers, technicians, excavator and drone operators than shovel and assault rifle operators.
