●With the right fit, with the odd victory-to
find the right system combat "focus"
System operations require the sharing of various battlefield information, effective perception of the battlefield situation, accurate coordination of battlefield actions, and simultaneous execution of combat tasks, thereby transforming information advantages into operational advantages. The energy of the strike effect, so as to maximize the combat effectiveness.
In future system operations, only by truly identifying the "focus" can the combat effectiveness be effectively improved.
Make good use of the "long board" combat power of the combat power system.
Systematic warfare emphasizes systemic victory. Most people will focus on the use of the "barrel principle" and avoid the constraints of the "short board" by strengthening the "short board".
However, in actual combat, we cannot fall into the complex of "simply making up for shortcomings" and cannot extricate ourselves. We must not only see the disadvantages and "shortcomings" of our own combat system, but also see the advantages and "longboards" of our own combat system; In particular, we must give full play to the "longboard effect", focus on the "longboard" combat power layout of our own combat system, consolidate and strengthen the "longboard" combat power, and make the "longboard" of the system's combat power longer; Live the "long board" combat power, use radiation to drive the increase of ordinary combat power, and optimize the system combat power.
Although "longboard" combat power cannot replace system combat power, it can often produce decisive or even subversive effects in a certain stage of combat or certain combat operations.
For example, in recent years, Russia has highlighted and strengthened its areas of advantage-the development, installation, and combat tests of hypersonic weapons. The US military is very afraid of this.
Effectively implement asymmetric combat operations.
The basic form of system operations is integrated joint operations, which achieve operational goals by launching a series of powerful joint operations in the fields of land, sea, air, space, electricity, and network.
In systematic combat, dignified battles require high overall combat capabilities, are expensive to combat, and are difficult to command.
Asymmetric combat emphasizes the use of different combat forces, different combat methods and methods from the opponent’s expectations, and strives to give full play to one’s own combat advantages in specific areas where the enemy cannot anticipate and cope with incompetence, and successfully establish an asymmetric battlefield and attack. Weaknesses and weaknesses of the opponent, so as to achieve an asymmetric combat effect.
The key to asymmetric warfare is to find a viable winning law that conforms to the characteristics of the times, relies on existing equipment, highlights the core position of asymmetric warfare research and training, optimizes asymmetric warfare design, and maximizes the use of our existing weapons and equipment. The combat effectiveness of the system is to make use of our strengths and defeat the enemy's weaknesses, and adopt the most effective methods to restrict the opponent.
For example, in December 2011 and December 2012, Iran used a certain key technical and tactical method to successfully capture the U.S. RQ-170 UAV twice, effectively deterring the U.S. military.
Focus on achieving goals by destroying the center of gravity.
System warfare is increasingly manifested as the confrontation of complex systems. It is required not to fight a war without a system, and try to avoid rushing war due to failure of the system or incomplete structure.
In system operations, attacking the center of gravity that affects the normal operation of the opponent's system is the top priority. The success or failure of operations mainly depends on the ability to protect the center of gravity that affects and restricts the system's functions and destroys the center of gravity of the opponent.
"When using an axe to cut down a large tree, you must pay attention to the shape and direction of each tree, and choose where to start based on the location of the tree." Attacking the enemy's center of gravity will enable the enemy's combat system to show a non-linear attenuation shift, greatly Reduce war consumption and collateral damage.
In future system operations, based on the intelligence information we have, we should focus on our own combat intentions, combat advantages and the reality of the enemy's combat system, and accurately identify the key nodes of the enemy's combat system, such as the command system, reconnaissance and early warning system, communication hub, and network node. Etc., using a variety of attack methods to implement precise, continuous, and effective strikes, thereby causing structural damage to the enemy’s combat system, reducing its system combat effectiveness, and ultimately losing the ability to control the battle situation.
For example, the Russian army's killing of Dudayev was based on its perfect combat system and directly carried out beheading operations, which greatly promoted Russia's end of the Chechen War.
Emphasize the suddenness of achieving combat operations.
System combat is the confrontation between system and system. Sudden combat operations can "restrain the release of enemy combat energy" while "maximizing the release of one's own combat energy" and achieve surprising winning results.
In system operations, suddenness is no longer solely dependent on the suddenness achieved by a single weapon platform or a single service branch or a single strategy. The system can integrate all elements of the system and closely cooperate between units to make combat operations "quietly silent." , Come and go", and then achieve a new suddenness.
With the improvement of reconnaissance means and technology, the battlefield in the future will become more transparent, and it will be significantly more difficult to achieve suddenness in operations.
However, the development of equipment technology has also provided new means and models for the suddenness of operations.
In particular, the weapon platform presents the characteristics of invisibility, miniaturization, precision, intelligence, remoteness, and all-weather, which provides a broader space for achieving suddenness through sophisticated tactical use.
For example, the "Poseidon" nuclear-powered unmanned underwater vehicle under development in Russia has a long range, deep dive, and fast speed. It can carry a million-ton nuclear warhead and can strike across oceans. It has strong deterrence and actual combat. ability.
