@dominuslogik484 That may be true but it would be interesting to know how and why they're less than adequate.

@dominuslogik484 8 күн бұрын

@@mill2712 typically its the boring stuff, not enough trucks, not enough stuff or the packaging sucks. For Example the Russians pack the missiles for their Grad rocket launchers in individual wooden boxes that are nailed shut, in order to reload a grad with its 40 or so 122mm tubes you must unbox all 40 missiles using a crowbar and typically a large hammer or axe making it take at best about a minute to open each box. now the Russians get around this issue by taking the missiles out of their boxes and stacking them on the ground from a staging area but the problem is that then you have a bunch of exposed rockets with armed warheads stacked up in a treeline somewhere and should any fragmentation from returning artillery fire hit the stack all the rockets have a habit of cooking off in sequence but the crates typically offer some protection against chain detonation of the rocket motors and reduce the likelihood of losing a whole stockpile in one go. so just off the example of the Grad that listed reload speed of 10 minutes is only if all missiles are pre prepared before loading starts and if they are boxed up it will take in excess of one hour to reload the whole system, things like Himars and M270 even their earliest and oldest versions have a built in crane and the missiles are carried in their firing tubes which are square for the purpose of loading into logistics trucks and allowing the whole system to load in a few minutes and the ammo can travel and reposition with the launchers. TL:DR Logistics is painfully boring and filled with numerous examples of everyone being bad at it.

You have to consider the Soviet VDV tradition more like the USMC than Western paratroopers, in that they’ve expanded past their strict specialities and function more like a second army with an esprit de corps thinking they’re superior to regular infantry (I’m not disregarding that marines are more universally useful than paratroopers, but amphibious warfare was a niche inside the USMC, not their bread and butter). Besides that, the Soviet VDV was uniquely heavily armoured and not primarily light infantry as paratroopers usually are. The Soviet and Russian VDV have also frequently swapped their lighter airmobile armoured vehicles for regular BMPs, BTRs, and tanks once they got stuck in the fighting like in Afghanistan and Chechnya. The unique thing about the Ukrainian DShV in this regard is that they accepted this on an organisational level and largely embraced their role as glorified mechanised infantry, only keeping a few airmobile battalions, instead of sticking with wide scale use of BMDs etc. like the Russians. The steppe that covers much of eastern Ukraine is also just so well suited for armoured warfare, so you see comparatively heavy mechanisation in most of their units. Even multiple Ukrainian units that are labelled as SOF are essentially equipped like regular mechanised infantry.

The most astonishing thing to me about the development of the Soviet airborne in the post Soviet era is that the VDV and thereby the Russian VDV base much of their mythos on an operation where based on a hastily identified weakness, a landing was made on the western bank of the Dnipro that wound up being directly into the teeth of two unanticipated armoured brigade groups, who wiped them out. Then they did exactly the same thing at Hostomel, with the same result. This is even stranger because the Germans didn't officially have independent armoured brigade groups in 1943.

I’m sorry to say as a huge Battle Order fan but this was a VERY dry topic. It might have made a good paper but I figured we’d be examing force structure not the constant re-naming of brigades to the point of obscurity. Feel like I didn’t learn a lot about Air Mobile Units in Ukraine but rather trivia if I ever walk into a bar that has a “re-tabbing of post Soviet training divisions of airborne units based in Ukraine in 1993”. Not trying to be too critical but I think middle 50% of this video could have been much better served by discussing how force structure at the company and platoon level evolved and how the actual purpose of the units changed. That’s the meat and potatoes we love. That said incredible research per usual and it’s a great history video but I think there’s so much more cool stuff to explore!!

Hello-I am kind of surprised that the 78th Regiment "Herts" get so few Credit, while being even trained in its early days against the will of the DShV command. I am myself a foreign Volunteer from Germany and was quite happy about the Video, but this put a slight dent in it

It's a BMD of some kind. They can be dropped with crew, but the landing has to be decelerated.

Why is everything "Separate?"

@BattleOrder 13 күн бұрын

It's basically a holdover from the Soviet method. Generally speaking if a regiment or brigade isn't part of a division (which there are none in the Ukrainian Army now), it's titled "separate". Depending on the situation are a battalion might be a "linear" or "line" unit (numbered 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so on) or "separate" (with its own separate numbering, like the 13th or 56th). In the Ukrainian case generally battalions that are expected to operate away from their parent brigade, like if they are garrisoned in a different base from the brigade HQ or have a distinct mission like peacekeeping, they can be "separate". In theory they should be more capable of independent operations In the Russian case, generally battalions part of regiments (which are part of divisions) will be linear battalions numbered 1st, 2nd, 3rd. And battalions part of brigades will be "separate" with different numbering, even though brigades aren't hugely different regiments (just more support and not part of a division basically). This is mostly semantics and tradition though

@@radjamaulana7054 obsolete doesn't mean its not being used it means that it is not a viable system due to changes in technology. either way the M249 is still being used today. the XM250 is set to replace it as it is lighter weight and using a heavier cartridge in the 6.8x51mm cartridge. as for the Abrams that was removed from Marine corps inventory due to them re evaluating the mission types the Marine cops is responsible for as they had become too similar to the US army to the point that the marine corps was literally just the army with VTOL jets, when it comes to island hopping and supporting naval operation main battle tanks are not useful, in the same way that it is not useful to deploy amphibious vehicles in a desert with no rivers and long open sightlines.

Since we are on topic. What is the difference in practice between what the landing support battalion does and what the css does? Is it that the lsb gets the supplies to the css and the the css distributes them to the brigades. Cause their mission just says that they both distribute supplies and personnel around and doesn't really clear out why you'd need two different battalions for the same job.

Air Assault Forces or Infantry acting special. Parachute shit is all culture and novelty. Sure you can do cool air assault shit when you got air superiority, but in a war between two industrial nations you are just another Infantry man. Only use is rapid response forces in your own territory.
