How not to Infantry

Yeah, if you’re going to conduct an attack, it’s probably best to use whatever cover and concealment available. Granted, a lot of Ukraine offers very little of either. Second, if you have little or no cover and concealment, you might want to use mortars and supporting fires to suppress the enemy. Maybe shoot some smoke?…

And of course, you damn well shouldn’t just stop in the middle of the field and let the enemy bring up its anti-armor systems.

A rapid mounted assault might have worked. Violence of execution often overcome shortcomings of planning in combined arms operations.

    Yeesh…
    I can’t even tell what the hell is going on there. Other than some seriously inept TTPs resulting in a bunch of burned-out armor…

    Were there more tanks? It looked like they hit the one a couple of times. Next thing you know the guy stops shaking the camera long enough to show all their BTRs are burning.

    Is the lack of any artillery (even mortars, as you say) normal in that conflict?
