Lesson from Ukraine: US fighting doctrine is fatally flawed

Video: Lesson from Ukraine: US fighting doctrine is fatally flawed because US "precision" weapons fail after arriving in Ukraine battlefield in 2 weeks. 烏克蘭的教訓：美國的作戰理論存在致命缺陷，因為美國的「精確」武器在抵達烏克蘭戰場兩週後就失效了.

"Precision beats mass" and "one shot, one kill" are the foundations of Western combat doctrine. It supposes that our weapons, which are highly accurate, can through deliberate target selection and mission execution overcome large disadvantages in manpower.

But prior to the Ukraine War, that theory had not been tested against a "peer opponent". Previous conflicts were against inferior forces, poorly equipped.

Russia and China, on the other hand, have world-class militaries, and Russia has shown a shocking degree of adaptability against our precision weapons platforms. Their Electronic Warfare efforts include jamming of our radar systems and GPS satellite feeds, and it is proving so successful that our artillery and missile systems are obsolete within mere weeks of their deliveries to Ukrainian warfighters.

Senior military officers and defense experts are finally raising alarm, and admit that our assumptions about our capabilities have been greatly exaggerated.

「精確擊敗質量」和「一槍一殺」是西方作戰理論的基礎。 它假設我們的武器高度精確，可以透過深思熟慮的目標選擇和任務執行來克服人力方面的巨大劣勢。

但在烏克蘭戰爭之前，這個理論還沒有經過「同等對手」的檢驗。 以前的衝突都是針對裝備落後的劣勢部隊。

另一方面，俄羅斯和中國擁有世界一流的軍隊，俄羅斯對我們的精確武器平台展現了令人震驚的適應能力。 他們的電子戰努力包括幹擾我們的雷達系統和 GPS 衛星訊號，事實證明，我們的火砲和飛彈系統在交付給烏克蘭作戰人員後僅幾週就過時了。

高級軍官和國防專家終於發出警報，並承認我們對自己能力的假設被大大誇大了.
