It was an invasion of Azerbaijan from South, a fast push through resistance.<br /><br />I thought that the mobility of the forces involved wasn't overly optimistic(they didn't move faster than in WW2, after all), but I never learned about details regarding the combat actions. Save for a few specialist combat vehicles, the plan was afaik that the infantry dismounts, moves into contact and defeats the enemy with support fires before it mounts again for the next movement. I never understood why this was regarded to be a promising way of executing an operational offensive.S Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359796414832859686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-40877646226321269252012-02-28T23:50:06.480+01:002012-02-28T23:50:06.480+01:00Did you catch this comment in the linked article:

Not sure how complaining about Bradley survivablility and saying that it hasn't been used in five years will help sell the vehicle internationally..."<br /><br />I've known for some time that the Stryker was major "FAIL" (and new it would fail before they even produced it) but it's easier to get a hold of a Nuke than find out the truth about our combat performance of platforms. Pappy understands what it's really all about.ENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193563623321560413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-10257088866119601822012-02-28T23:35:49.020+01:002012-02-28T23:35:49.020+01:00Would it be rude of me to say, "Told you so&...Would it be rude of me to say, "Told you so"?ENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193563623321560413noreply@blogger.com
