    The US Army released an extensive report on the Russian Army's experience with urban warfare in the Second Chechen War. It read as if it was based on internal Russian "lessons learned" documents. The gist of it was they had forgotten everything learned in Stalingrad and lost a lot of soldiers bitterly relearning how to engage in urban combat. This could make an interesting presentation by Military History Visualized.

    I remember seeing a WW2 British video about this. One of the hardest things to teach is holding your fire until the enemy is in an effective range. This is also really important in urban warfare. Often the difference between wiping out an enemy patrol or fighting it for hours is does EVERYONE wait. It seems like there is always that one guy that screws the pooch. I've found this is true about life in general.

      theres a video of a Ukrainian tank taking on a long line of enemy russian armor and winning. based on his postion he fired so the rest of the enemies could not see him even though he was in front of them and he hit them at their rear and blind spots. the tanks in the video fired wilding where they thought he was but thanks to their small window of their armor they only knew which side they were hit on. the ukranian tank was unbelievable and i think used spotters to help control when it fired and where to hit. the spotters basically warned it of tanks coming and when to stop firing so it would reveal its location from other vehicles looking in it direction. russia..... they did forget alot. i feel like they arent building on troop and vehicle tactics they known for and just relying on new tactics brought up by some scientist or general for the modern fight. we fucked up alot in the middle east but learned from it and we taught the Ukrainians well.

    4:50 "Other stuff" picture of a locomotive. I will make sure to have one around in case I need to participate in urban combat. This reminds me of a story that has a little German wordplay in it. It was some sort of memoir of fighting in Stalingrad and there was a sentence: "Our train driver has fallen." What does a train have to do with infantry fighting in Stalingrad? Well, in German original there was the term Zugführer. Der Zug means train. So the translater thought it meant train driver. In fact Zug also means platoon, so actually the soldiers had lost their platoon leader. Quite an interesting translating mistake.

    One of the things to note here is that the reason we tend to stray from FM's is mostly because they've been mostly irrelevant to the type of enemy we've been facing the past 20 years. FM's were mostly developed over the Cold War years as a guideline for force-on-force engagements as opposed to the current asymmetric warfare that we engage in now and as such are not very useful. Additionally, the threats we face constantly change to counter our current tactics, and so we rely more heavily on SOP's and TTP's that we develop and constantly update ourselves to adapt to these threats.

      And Tactics Techniques and Procedures are more towards the side of doctrine. Write ups shared between units or branches. SOP's are generally developed from them.

    @nilloc93 6 років тому +79

    I think it should be pointed out that concealment is not just that you're not seen but that you're not in a building/feature that everyone and their mother is going to stare at.
    A Concrete house ontop of a hill looks like a great position, but its likely the first thing an enemy command had his heavy ordinance sight in on.
    consider in WW2 that it was standard practice for allied tank crews in Normandy to shoot every church tower/windmill they came across just to guarantee there were no snipers there.
    This style of thinking can also be used to a great advantage against less disciplined troops as they will fixate attention on obvious defensive features while not paying enough attention to their entire arc of fire.

    You've also got to consider backblast effects of weapon systems to effectively employ them inside a structure (most nations don't use Armbrusts) and not kill yourself or allies. Depending on the nature of the enemy being fought, many tanks have limits to elevation and depression of their weapon systems. Effectively, this means that at a given distance that there are certain elevations (and depressions) that a tank cannot fire upon, and armor tends to be weaker on the top. Chechens capitalized upon this during the Chechen Wars. Chechens tended to use multiple three person teams against armor; each team consisted of one machinegunner (to suppress infantry) one sniper (to engage tank commander/make tank button up and suppress infantry) and one RPG to engage armor. A fully buttoned up tank loses situational awareness and is far less effective. The Chechen method was extremely effective at destroying armor. Other ways of fighting armor in urban environments involve halting them in a confined area, such as with dummy antitank mines. The Hungarians used upside-down soup plates (they looked like AT mines) in 1956, then attacked halted armor with Molotov cocktails or live electrical wires from above. Cover varies depending on the weapon system--what may stop a 7.62*51 round may be mere concealment against a .50 BMG. As with regular fighting positions, it is wise to have alternate and contingency positions. The use of and consolidation of range cards is a force multiplier. Stakes may be useful to delineate fields of fire, particularly with crew served weapons. Urban environments are excellent locations to set traps; an entire building can be covertly rigged with explosives to destroy many adversaries at one time. Doctrine has its limits--strict interpretation of doctrine allows for an adversary to anticipate and preempt your moves. Most snipers don't go for the absolute highest elevation, because those locations automatically attract attention. The use of command detonated explosives against your enemy is highly recommended. Removing stairs inside a building and placement of nail boards can be useful to deny enemy access and channel enemy movements.

I noticed, that the preparing of those buildings take a lot of time and this all is for defending them. Very structural, controlled, based on time, perfect reinforcement and medical support.

      if you have an advancing enemy army you can assume that they will arrive in your city on a certain date time frame... until that date you have all the time to prepare buildings, supply lines, reinforcements etc....(moscow 1941 was prepared for the showdown)......only if the enemy advances too fast and 'blitzes' your forward army, then you run out of time to prepare or prepare at all (Paris 1940)

      sometimes you can actually fortify a city such that everything is as close to perfect as can be. Sure, chaos of war will introduce some problems, so the "keep it simple, stupid" rule applies - do not make things any more complicated than they absolutely have to be, but sometimes you can spend a week fortifying a strategically located city, like Stalingrad or Grozny.

    Would you ever consider doing a video on premodern urban combat? I think it would be quite interesting as in periods where melee engagements and/or short range exchanges of fire (think roman skirmishers or line infantry) were the only way infantry were used the tactics required would have to be completely different than those of today.

    I play sniper in many games, and I am guilty of, at times, engaging many targets. Those times are generally when trying to stop a general assault on the position my fireteam and I are in. That being said, when we roam the battlefield as two-man sniper teams, we generally try to limit engagement. We go after effective enemy snipers (those guys that can actually shoot, not the blow through 47 rounds to glance a shot guys), heavy weapons operators, and a few well entrenched soldiers. Anything to cause the enemy to have to stop, and look for us, or go to ground, or whatever. We like to be general annoyances, and do tend to break up enemy pushes by peeling units off the attack, or by popping a few helmets. We also leave traps behind, decoys, etc., just to be pains, and make the enemy sweep every inch of ground they just went over.

They are relatively simple, pretty and are excellent at exemplifying the subject of the statement. If you dont mind, can you please inform me, where you are getting those icons from? I really like them, and if possible, might want to use them in my private projects for a similar purpouse. Obviosly, I am not trying to flank any ownership rights, so just tell me if it is not possible.
