The current situation on the Ukrainian front lines is often compared to the Western front of World War One. The parallels are indeed very strong, to the point where hard won lessons of 1915 reappear in current Russian doctrine. I was reading this thread on a Russian combat manual and I kept thinking of the same rules appearing in old war memoirs and diaries. Sometimes they seem to be lifted straight from the pages of First World War military manuals.
It’s World War One all over again.
It’s World War One all over again.
