This man creates the strategy against Russia attacking and that picture is how he sees the Battlefield.
Out there positions are created in clusters. Those are different weapon systems that are coordinated. The War will be exactly like this here.
In military strategy terms speaking are the Germans not the sharpest tool in the shed. On a large scale this form of war against an about equal enemy is more like throwing dices by game changing weapons being in use in an since the antique used field match scenario.
Castles with warehouses turned the men against men obsolete. That started with Masada, when in about 72AD Roman legions sieged a natural castle being a small wall, but build on a steep mountain with no easy access. The Roman's needed incredible efforts to take that castle to then murder everyone.
Since than, Knights and Lords where looking for natural hill tops along trade routes to build markets and towns in every region Roman like mind sets were expected.
Today, by long range Artillery, Airplanes, Rockets and modern explosives, Bunkers are the new Castles and hiding turned again the ultimate strategy.
This is also how Germans lost their wars of which I claim it was a few more than our books teach us. Moscow was only empty of a certain kind of human and France was never beaten by refusing to group up on a field at least for long, no matter what, no matter the caused anger and hate. You can aim longer and better shooting someone from behind from a covered position predicting his movements in a known area.
Russia won't step into a war like they expect most likely. From a Russian perspective they dug in into Ukrainian soil at exactly those areas they claimed to be Russian by Russian population creating an extremely long frontline, but as a wide Kill Zone stretch. They by now became masters of regional surveillance and coordinating long supply lines for tiny units. This is a logic further development of supplying and overlooking a set of clusters placed into a Shire like size system of fields, villages and towns.
This also can be abstracted to Shadowrun like or Clear and Present Danger movie like war fare styles.
There is a great chance that Russia and Putin in his very clear dedicated Love for Russia will again decide to "spare Russian blood" retreating into the winter while Western history books declare 27 million dead Russians to the result of Sowjet strategies and no war crimes by a Death factory building Nation.
The Sowjets with Lenin, that took over from the Zars having had lost power to Rasputin, had invested massively into farming and early industrial products such as loom factories and sewing workshops. They thought also that being a PoW was not that bad for a man not trained in fighting and who would mass murder defenseless humans that surrendered.
So we are all on one page what happened and why mass pardons needed some ink...
This time the Russian Winter will be different. In core regions it will be a time with only darkness and not even shadows. Pure, cold, darkness.
