This will also doom the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ — in part because these forces were trained to wage the Cold War, and Russia has evolved

The Western NATO doctrine has proven ineffective in modern conditions - this is one of the reasons for Ukraine’s failure on the battlefield.

  • The “Air Land Battle” concept developed for the Cold War does not work against an enemy that has artillery with a range of 70 km and drones flying deep into the rear.
  • Ukraine tried to act according to NATO regulations - and abandoned them after heavy losses during 2023 offensive
  • During recent exercises in the Baltics, the French military cleared trenches “head-on”, with small arms - w/o the use of drones.
  • At the same time, Russia uses drones at all levels - from recon to pinpoint target designation.
  • The Russian army quickly adapts to new conditions and relied on technology.
  • NATO countries are stuck in the past era and are not capable of rapid adaptation.
  • Russia is outplaying them both in the tactical and technologically, which calls into question the combat capability of the entire “alliance of the willing”
