ikalugin Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The Soviet tradition was to do unit or formation wide rotations, ie in WW2. So you first spend your formation, then send it into the rear for it to recover while a fresh formation takes it's place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinophile Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Essentially the same tactic used in battle with the Roman maniple/cohorts, I believe? *Just saw @MikeyD 's note. So we could call this approach the Cohorts Carousel ? Edited August 6, 2019 by kinophile 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tactic has exactly such name, but just "carousel" ) Widely used on Donbas mostly on the level of one or two platoons, less often on the company level.

Wulfe zum Wotan Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 On 8/2/2019 at 12:14 AM, Haiduk said: They have sufficient lack of tank crews (especially drivers) and spare parts for tanks. So, significant part of their armor is unoperational. Though, in case of escalation, crews can be quicly formed from "vacationers". This is some great information. Do you have links to further see more info on this? Can you say whether Russian crews are cross trained for each of the three stations? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
