Ok, I'm just a dumb AF guy who sees tanks as targets but given that it's widely known that the Ukrainians have lots of Javelines wouldn't one think that Russian commanders would spread their tanks out?

100 javelins and 40 Ukrainian soldiers broken down into 10 4 man kill teams and you can kill an armored battalion

Kill boxes. Learned that in Air Force when I was security police. We were the infantry of the Air Force. Air base ground defense. We used recoiled rifles

What did not make sense to me was their turning and running rather than turning and attacking the ambush sites. Since the UA does not have the CAS to attack those tank columns or convoys the bunching does not appear to be as detrimental as it could be.

Ya, makes sense they know they don't have to worry about the air. My AF training just says look at all those targets together.

It means the soldiers, crews, and leaders have no clue what they are doing. When there is contact crews must know how to react to the contact. Unfortunately for the Russians attacking in columns means retreating in a column. However, I have read some of the Russian vehicles are diffused in various terrains. This can mean command and control issues as units may not be able to support it selves. Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen

Centralized command. Junior officers are told what to do. Initiative is not allowed. Have to follow the battle drills to a tee. In the 1980's a document was leaked from the Freunza (sp)? Academy (CGSC equivalent). It was part of a tactics class. The leader of the academy always welcomed the new students. In his welcome speech he spoke of war as pure chaos. Hence the detailed and repeatedly practiced battle drills. But he also said that only one nation practices chaos, The USA. And when I heard about this a thought immediately popped into my mind. A teaching point I heard at my first military planning courses in ROTC, it was " No plan ever survives first contact."

Centralized command is why we SAC aircrews always figured we had the advantage, we didn't need someone to tell us what to do, we did it!
