I feel like most of the world has forgotten about the 1st and 2nd Chechen wars and I honestly see similarities in Ukraine, especially with Chechens fighting on either side and some fighting out of a pure hatred for Russia.
I'm curious to hear some lefty stances on them.
>>2320>people forgot about ChechnyaNgga are you retarded no one is that fucking young to have that and the shit that went on in Bosnia, Tigray, Libya, etc not still deeply burned into their memory. It’s just that shitloads of wars have been going on since then that it’s hard to pay attention to how much death has been occurring
Good lesson in urban insurgency and COIN
They had a good strategy with their guerilla units.
Similar to the Soviet innovation of maximizing number of designated marksmen and mgs in each squad
3 man teams.
Each team:
1 Sniper
1 MG
1 Anti tank specialist
Honestly probably a perfect cell design. Lean and low profile as possible. Peak efficiency. Every soldier fulfills a designated role, equipped for a specific deisgnated threat. 3 guys means cover and bounded withdrawl etc. It also means easy infil and exfil and it's the smallest possible number to make special missions viable such as evac and scouting and relating information to other units.
Low investment, low material cost, easy to organize and plan orders for, able to act autonomously and modularly with neighboring units.
