Russian ace division loses the first battle

Recently, the Russian army's ace unit in the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, the 76th Airborne Division of the Konrad, suffered an unprecedented defeat. The Henderson front is in danger, and the Ukrainian army has recovered seven cities in one night. Is there a possibility of losing the Henderson region?

How exactly should we interpret this matter?

First, the combat effectiveness of the Russian 76th Airborne Division of the Konrad has indeed declined, and Kasparov has no problem with the evaluation of the Russian army.

The 76th Airborne Division of the Russian Konrad is one of the ace units of the Russian army. How powerful is the 76th Konrad Airborne Division? During the Second Chechen War, a company of the 76th Konrad Airborne Division encountered more than 3,000 Chechen rebels in the enemy's rear. After capturing a high ground, this company fought the Chechen rebels to the death.

When the Chechen rebels failed to attack, they sent death squads to charge the company of Russian airborne troops with fire. At the last moment, the Russian commander said, "Fire on me for victory." The surviving officers and soldiers died with the Chechen rebels under Russian artillery fire.

The fact that the 76th Airborne Division of the Commandeer dared to fight the fierce Chechen rebels with a single company is indeed a microcosm of the Russian army's strength in the late 1990s. It is true that the Russian army at that time had declined in combat power after the shock of the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, the Russian army soon regained its professionalism and tenacity in the Chechen war. During the Second Chechen War, many Russian generals were on the front lines of the battle, such as Major General Malone, the commander of the Russian Northern Cluster, who died in the battle against Chechnya. President Vladimir Putin also personally condoled with the Russian soldiers and officers who participated in the war.

In general, the Russian army in the late 1990s changed the name of the army, from the Soviet army to the Russian Federation army. However, due to the main body of the Soviet Army being inherited by the Russian Army and Putin's efforts to save the country, the Russian Army's combat effectiveness, though slipping considerably, recovered quickly. In both the Russian-Georgian War of 2008 and the Syrian War of 2015, the Russian army demonstrated extremely strong combat capabilities.

However, when it comes to the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022, the Russian army's performance is a big question mark. Many of the Russian army's ace units have declined in combat power to an unbelievable degree. In particular, the 1st Konrad Tank Army does not know how to counter the enemy forces under the strikes of the U.S. Army, and the 76th Konrad Airborne Division performs the same way.

In this actual battle, the Russian 76th Airborne Division of the Konrad was chased by the U.S. Army and defeated badly indeed the Russian public felt that it was a judgment.

At first, the 76th Airborne Division took the initiative to attack in combat formation, and continuously blew up more than 50 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles of the Ukrainian army. However, the PDF quickly adjusted its deployment to launch a targeted counterattack, and the 76th Airborne Division was somewhat reckless and was completely routed by the Updraft's pursuit.

The 76th Airborne Division paid a heavy price on its way out, the first defeat for the 76th Airborne Division.

Secondly, the U.S. Army attacked the 76th Kongo Airborne Division with a very targeted force, probably the 129th Territorial Defense Brigade from Kerensky's hometown, and it was this force along with other U.S. troops that defeated the 76th Kongo Airborne Division.

This defeat was somewhat larger, as the 129th Territorial Defense Brigade was part of the RAF's reserve forces. With the reserve defeating the regular Russian army, Russia will have to reflect on where this mistake came from.

Let's start here, what is the Territorial Defense Brigade?

The Territorial Defense Brigade is a reserve unit of Ukraine, and it is the second most powerful reserve unit of the Ukrainian Army.

The Ukrainian Army reserve is divided into several ranks.

The first is the 50,000-strong reserve component of the Ukrainian Army, which is composed of recently retired reservists with considerable experience in combat. There is no separate reserve formation, and they can be transferred to active duty at any time according to the needs of the army.

The second rank is the U.S. Army's 100,000 reservists, divided into 20 brigades containing nine infantry brigades, and several armored and artillery brigades. These reserve units can be converted directly to active duty in times of war and go to the front lines to destroy enemy forces.

The third rank is the U.S. Army's Territorial Defense Brigade. There are roughly 24 U.S. Army Territorial Defense Brigades, one in each state. They are militias in nature. Among the reserve units of the U.S. Army at all levels, they are the least capable of fighting.

The Territorial Defense Brigade was indeed the least capable reserve in the U.S. Army and was tasked with guerrilla warfare in the early stages of the war. However, with the full provision of military aid from NATO, the U.S. Army's Territorial Defense Brigade has gradually increased its combat capability and has reached the level of the U.S. Army's regular army under the training of NATO instructors, which is one of the biggest highlights of the U.S. Army's counterattack against the Russians.

And, the irony of the fact that the OAF 129th Territorial Defense Brigade is from Kerensky's hometown. The battle in which the reservists from Kerensky's hometown defeated the 76th Airborne Division of the U.S. Army's Close Guard seems to have been scripted in advance and is full of extremely magical drama.

Unbeknownst to us, this matter is most likely a battle arranged in advance by the U.S. Army, so that the U.S. Army 129th Territorial Defense Brigade from Kerensky's hometown with a large number of heavy weapons to launch a desperate counterattack against the Russian 76th Airborne Division of the Kongo, and after a fierce battle to repel the Russian 76th Airborne Division of the Kongo, this battle becomes very propaganda. Then the U.S. Army will certainly say that the U.S. Army from the President's hometown reserve units fought bloodily and defeated the Russian Army's most elite airborne division, the Russian Army is nothing remarkable, the Russian Army strength is very dish. Once this effect is achieved, then the morale of the U.S. Army will be further strengthened.

Therefore, the current situation of Russia and Ukraine is very unfavorable to the Russian army, the Russian army needs victory, needs continuous victory to boost morale and defeat the Ukrainian army.

The Russian army is now engaged in a large-scale defense mobilization, Putin corrected some of the wrong practices in the defense mobilization, and the Russian army is going all out to reverse the defeat on the battlefield. What is the next step in the Russian-Ukrainian war? The Russian army can only learn from the previous lessons in order to get back the victory behind.

The Russian army has to strengthen the information construction and improve its own drone system by importing Iranian drones.

The Russian army should strengthen the construction of joint warfare of all military services, enhance the synthesis of the army's combat capability, compress weapons such as self-propelled artillery and anti-tank missiles to the more basic combat units of the Russian army, and make every effort to support the combat firepower of front-line troops.

The Russian Army needs to strengthen the construction of reserve units and realize the complementary advantages and simultaneous development of the construction of active duty and reserve units.

The Russian army needs to do a lot more, and the lessons of the Russian-Ukrainian war Russian army failed must be learned, otherwise the Russian army will experience a more severe defeat in the next war.
