Infantry is the basis of the army, because without it it is impossible to go on the offensive and defend yourself. The entire load of war first of all falls on the shoulders of the infantry.

< p >In the current Russian-Ukrainian war, all the victories that we have, just thanks to the infantry of the Armed Forces. The infantry was the first to go to position and the last leaves them. But at the same time, the infantry will be much more effective with the participation of intelligence and fire support for artillery and aviation.

< p > since the Second World War of the world, the army of the world has evolved colossally. Infantryman — This is no longer a soldier with a machine gun and a sapper shovel, this is a warrior in a quality form and armor, with night vision devices, drones for long -range intelligence and on the basis of artificial intelligence. The small arms became more accurate and long -range.

are now watching < p > in the armies they pay special attention to the development of the individual capabilities of the infantryman, because everything is important: physical strength, mental stability and experience. They teach to work in coherence with other branches of troops.

Given the war in Ukraine, it is infantry that holds anti -terrorist and stabilization measures. The infantry also plays a major role in hostilities in settlements both during the offensive and in defense.

< h2 >How the Ukrainian infantry has changed since the time of the USSR

< p > in the commentary the facts of ICTV military expert, veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexei Getman noted that the Soviet Infantry was just a soldier in uniform, with a helmet, a flask and an automaton. The modern Ukrainian infantryman has a qualitative shape, shoes, a Kevlar helmet on which you can attach a night vision device, thermal imagers, tactical headphones or a GoPro camera. it was almost impossible to move in the Soviet armor, at the same time, modern body armor with additional protection have a weight of about 16 kg. In addition, they can additionally attach pouches for stores, water flask, first -aid kit, grenades and the like.

< p >And the Soviet individual first -aid kit can not even be compared with the filling of modern. It had bandages, a tourniquet, iodine, green. The first -aid kit of the modern infantryman has various bandages, hemostatic drugs, anti -burning napkins, eyes washing products and the like. By and large, the soldier can fill his first -aid kit himself.

< blockquote >< p > — It has already been believed that the modern fully equipped infantryman has more weight than the Knight of the Middle Ages. That is, you must be physically prepared. But all the same, this is easier and more effective than in Soviet times, ”notes Alexey Getman.

< blockquote >< p > — Then many military searched and bought the uniform, shoes and various equipment abroad for their own money, ”says Alexey Getman.

62 > 62 > 62 ~ < h2 > calls for infantry

< p > According to a military expert, today the Ukrainian army needs more officers, especially younger officers. Here we are talking about the quality of preparation, because not everyone ended the relevant higher educational institutions.

< blockquote >< p >— For example, in order to get the title of lieutenant, it is necessary to graduate from a higher educational institution. Back in Soviet times, there were four training at a team school and 5 years at an engineering school. That is, it is a fully higher education. Here in a month and even for six months it is difficult to prepare a professional officer, ”says Alexey Getman.

< p > according to him, now they are improving the methods of teaching officers, there are fewer unnecessary subjects, more practical training. But still some problems remain, although this is in any other army.

< h2 > what can replace the infantry in the future

< p >According to Alexei Getman, the infantry remains the basis of the army, but over time, it will be a little replaced by robotic systems. More than once the military noted that the tactics of our actions in defense, especially on the first line, are exclusively drones so that the Russian infantry could not fit.

< p > — Therefore, after a while, and we understand that this, unfortunately, is not the last war in the world, more and more robotic systems will be used. There will be more sea and air drones. Therefore, in the end, the next war can turn into remote, ”says a military expert.

< p > at the same time he is sure that it is impossible to completely replace a person with technologies on the battlefield.

< blockquote >< p > — It is unlikely that the drone will be the best sniper than a living sniper, ”said Alexey Getman.

60 ~/Blockquote > < h2 > phenomenon of Ukrainian theroborne

< p > Ukrainian territorial defense, or a national army is a huge manifestation of the will of the people to struggle for freedom. It was quite unusual to see, especially at the beginning of the full -scale military invasion of Russia, like doctors, auto mechanics, lawyers, teachers left their jobs, went to the territorial setting centers to sign up in the ranks of the troorborne and weapons to protect their settlement.

But basically these were working formations, ”says military man Alexei Getman.

< p > according to him, our experience in territorial defense is not something unique, because during the war people were self-organized in other countries. But there were mainly partisan movements — That is, in the rear of the enemy.

< blockquote >< p > — Our territorial defense — These are structured units that operate on our territory, and not in the rear of the enemy. Our sabotage groups enter the rear, and this is a little different, ”notes Alexey Getman.

< p > Ukrainian territorial defense — This is about national resistance.

< h2 > what tactics does the Russian infantry choose

< p >According to Alexei Getman, recently, Russian troops to conduct their operations, for rapid advancement, are increasingly using light motorized equipment: motorcycles, ATVs, and buggy. That is, everything that moves quickly and does not require special skills.

< p > military expert notes that this tactic is quite dangerous, because such a soldier moves quickly on a motorcycle, can maneuver and transport more ammunition. All this adds certain difficulties to our defense forces.

< p > at the same time, Russians continue not to spare their personnel, use “ meat assaults ” and barrage detachments (detachments that are located behind the main troops to prevent the escape of military personnel from the battlefield). < p > < blockquote >< p > — These tactics are still Soviet. Russia is not considered the life of its people. And I think it will not stop. In order for the Russians to begin to fight in another way, it is necessary to give more authority to the military. Here we go to understanding the network-centric war, when each commander, not to mention the separation or platoon, has the right to make independent tactical decisions on the battlefield, without going beyond strategic, and communicate with neighboring divisions, explains Alexey Getman.

62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 62 < p > according to a military expert, the Russians may once reach that, but rather the Russian Federation will fall apart than sergeants will make it possible to make decisions on the battlefield. < p > modern Ukrainian infantry — The basis of this war. Our infantrymen can dig deep and high “ fly ”, joke under fire and look desperately to the eyes of death.
