I love how they have this obsession with manoeuvre warfare. Like sure Ukraine doesn't have the troops or the weapons needed to fight this sort of a war, but maybe they can just outmanoeuvre the Russian orcs by using clever NATO tactics. πŸ˜‚

This is super easy to understand though in this guys' case, I remember that name back when he wrote about how the Challenger 2 is a game changer because he was a tank commander, guy has been writing about how all the tank wunderwaffens are going to send the russians to flee in terror several times and now he has to make up new copium why even though all those superior tanks are on Ukraines side they still can't win.

Like this minor british noble is quite literally just a tankie who thinks that tanks are the ultimate weapon and solution to everything.

It can't be helped after all. The officers were taught that maneuver warfare is the ultimate form of warfare and the apparent success against Iraq validated this.

And since Marx has been expunged from the academy there is no possibility of reorganizing theory such that positional warfare can stand on an equal or relational (or dare we say it dialectical) footing with maneuver warfare.
