The White House hoped that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would demonstrate during the counteroffensive that "the American way of warfare is superior to the Russian one."
The Ukrainian brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who were trained in NATO countries, stopped using American tactics of warfare when attacking at the front. The Ukrainian military returned to tactics "which they know best." On Wednesday, August 2, writes The New York Times.
The publication reports that the White House hoped that nine brigades numbering about 36,000 people during the counteroffensive would demonstrate that "the American way of warfare is superior to the Russian one."
"We are talking about the decentralization of control of different military units in battle," the publication points out.
It is noted that Ukrainian commanders changed tactics and focused on wearing down Russian forces with artillery and long-range missiles.
"On the battlefield, the Ukrainian military faced significant mining of the territory and constant shelling from artillery and aviation," the article says.
As the authors of the material write, NATO's hopes for the speedy liberation of the territories did not come true.
"Nevertheless, in the event of a breakthrough in the defense lines of the Russians, the Ukrainian military can still use the tactics of the United States and NATO," the NYT points out.
Recall that since the beginning of June, the Ukrainian army began active offensive operations. Since then, up to a dozen settlements and more than 200 square meters have been liberated. km of territory.

@Gary the importance of modern triple A SHORAD complementing MRSAM batteries should not be underestimated.
Otherwise you will risk loosing multi-million dollars AD systems to $35000-40000 cheap kamikaze drones.
Seems like only the launcher was affected.

No way triple AAA is the answer for this, it still has a role but more and more secondary. For one you could not afford that many guns all over the place, and you'll find the ammo expenditure will increase incrementally.
Directed energy solution is the future of mass anti drone warfare.
We can't develop it but we can buy it to equip AD groupings. Suicide munitions comes in many sizes, some as small as DJI drone some grow as large as the Lancet. You'll need all round solution, you can't defeat DJI drones with 20/30/57mm guns.Yes, Tripple A is the solution.
Countries like BD (or even Indoensia) are very unlikely to develop adequate directed energy weapons in next 20 years and mass produce them in numbers.
Again, in the near future you don't need that many Tripple A all over the place as every tank and IFVs likely to be equipped with APS.
What navy defense is doingIIRC, this ship is used as ferries to transport cars after the Crimean bridge was blown.
