Although the Russo-Ukrainian War is still continuing, the United States on the other side of the ocean has begun to make a summary!
Previously, according to the US military computer deduction, the Russian army can win in 72 to 96 hours, but today the war has been fought for more than 20 days, and Ukraine is still insisting. U.S. Marine Corps Commander David Berger even lamented that it is impossible to explain why Ukraine has persisted to this day, and why it has been so.
In order to accumulate experience to better deal with Russia, and to find the secret of Ukraine's persistence in this local conflict, the TOP level of the US military reviewed the past war process and summed up three lessons:
1, logistics is the key to determining the outcome of a war, even if the combat strength of such a strong army as Russia, after the loss of logistics supplies it is still helpless;
2) Humble "traditional" technologies can still play a key role in modern warfare;
3. Man is still the decisive factor in the war;
In addition, I would like to add a point, that is, through this war, the United States also clearly realizes that Russia's combat strength is not enough;
Frank Kendall, the current U.S. Secretary of the Air Force, summed up the Russo-Ukrainian War and said: "Russia is still a "near-par" opponent that the United States needs to face, but it is not an opponent that can be compared with the United States in military strength.
The minister believes that the ongoing war has not changed his initial view of the strength of the Russian army!
Although the terms "near-reciprocity" and "parity" are similar in context, if they are used to describe a country's military strength, the gap actually referred to is "one hundred and eighteen thousand miles".
In addition, U.S. Air Combat Command Mark Kelly seems to have come to the same conclusion, the only bright spot he sees in the current local conflict is that Russian-made anti-aircraft missiles are good, and even if these equipment falls into the hands of Ukrainian militias, they can still work well, and the country's nuclear weapons are still the most deterrent force, and nothing else.
Therefore, the "experience" summed up by the fourth American who personally joined is that although the Russian army is very large today, it is not strong, and in addition to the use of nuclear weapons, it is incomparable with the United States in other aspects!
