@@yurinator4411 Yes, why wouldn't it be? Russian, and similar Eastern European languages that use Cyrillic, can be notoriously difficult to translate into English and many other Western European languages for not only all the typical nuances of translating one language to another but also the fact that they both use a whole separate alphabet and simply have a very different culture and mindset, which in turn affects their language and all those other little nuances. If you've ever learned a foreign language, it's not easy even when you share an alphabet and a general sense of the world and cultural values. It only gets harder the more 'foreign' the culture and language is. So, yes, it is an admirable accomplishment, especially when so many others make massive mistakes in translating Russian to English even in more formal writings. The fact this one was full of metaphors, idiomatic phrases, and colloquial language in general makes it all the more impressive how relatively close it was to being accurate and understandable. Of course, from what I understand, Bernard didn't translate this himself, but the fact he went through the steps to make sure it was reasonably accurate and got some help from someone who does speak Russian is good practice on his part and very dutiful to the source material being studied.

_Slackness_ and _reserves_ are not synonyms. I've not read the report, but assuming the authors chose their words deliberately, the difference is important. _Slackness_ implies excess working capacity while _reserves_ imply a resource set aside that cannot be called upon at a moment's notice. If, say, your communications staff only work half time, you can quadruple your man-hours in a moment's notice; however, if half your communications staff are reservists, you're behind the 8-ball if a crisis develops suddenly. _Slackness_ is more expensive to maintain, but is immediately responsive; _reserves_ are much less costly to maintain, but slower to bring to bear.

No, "Omen" is the most accurate translation. "Примета. Мусор на позиции - к обстрелу" is not a simple "note", it's an ominous warning, that was deliberatly worded this way.

In all seriousness, how many Russian Mobiks will read this manual, and if they read it, how many will internalize it? It sounds like a great tip source for Russian professional soldiers, but a lot of those guys are already pushing up the sunflowers on the Ukrainian steppe. But also, as much as this is good common sense, I would guess that most/much of it is already known by most competent warfighters - so the fact that it's necessary seems to be an implicit indictment (yet another one) of the state of the Russian military pre-Ukraine.

They probably are, but OSHA has always been more of a suggestion in the land where people hammer Grad missiles into their launcher with a sledgehammer when they don't fit like they should.

Something I’ve realized from this war as one of the largest takeaways for everyone who isn’t america, and even america, is that the often decried ‘muh military industrial complex!’ Which everyone complains owns the world, somehow, is actually proven to be too small, most European militaries have less than a week’s worth of ammunition to fight with, and the Americans don’t have the ammo supplies to indirectly support for long duration while having stocks left for themselves, and not just artillery ammo, but the consumption rate of cruise missiles is astounding

I would agree about Europe, but USA doesn't even need that big of a stockpile. They can produce the ammo at a very fast pace.

I note with interest that one of the authors of the RUSI report is Mykhaylo Zabrodskyi. I would pay close attention to anything this man has to say on military matters, particularly those involving conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine. He commanded the 95th Airmoble Brigade in the Great Raid of 2014 during the War in Donbas - one of the longest armoured raids behind enemy lines in military history! This is an event that has largely been ignored by military historians out side of Ukraine, and particularly on KZread. Perhaps it is time to look at it again.

Hello there 👋. I absolutely adore all of your well crafted videos and I am thinking about supporting you perhaps either on subscribe star or patron.. which would you recommend? Your videos are by far some of the most high quality videos and your isnsight is invaluable. As well as this I am always astounded by all the sources you provide.

As a German tank commander I learned all of this back in the 90s, nothing of that is new. (Cept that there were no drones back then, people didnt have cell phones, there were no networked vehicles and GPS was brand new... the details evolved, but the principles remain the same.) Also, I am amazed that the Orkz dont do any of that, at least as far as one can tell from the social media footage. Even more amazing, that all of that is found in their field manuals.

Also, the Roman legions would have been quite familiar with the need to constantly dig in.
