Red Diamond Russo-Ukraine Conflict assessment.
With some caveats I personally assess these claims as true.
Strategic observations include:
Winning LSCO requires effective conditions setting: Russia failed to set the conditions before launching operations, with inadequate preparation, sequencing, and exploitation.
Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) and Air Dominance essential to LSCO:
Russia failed at SEAD, relegating its aerospace forces to launching standoff munitions from afar.
Extensive war stocks and secure supply chains needed to sustain LSCO:
Russia’s expenditure of precision standoff munitions combined with global sanctions necessitated its use of cross-domain fires.
LSCO requires rapid and scalable reconstitution and force generation plans:
Russia’s significant combat losses required extensive, repeated Battalion Tactical Group reconstitution efforts using Soviet-era equipment and indiscriminate manpower, such as pro-Russia separatist militias and Wagner professional military contractors, while Russia’s armed forces recruited, equipped, and deployed new “volunteer” battalions.
Effective command and control necessary for Multi-Domain Operations:
Russia is conducting operations in the land, sea, air, and cyber domains, but it has been unable to synchronize and scale integrated operations to date.
