Whilst I bow to your superior knowledge of the military aspect of wars in 19/20th cent, that is not what he, Simple Pimple, said: "One of the key shifts this new doctrine created was that it changed the perceived rate of advance. The previous method of advancing was perceived to have left forces vulnerable to large scale fire—like the aforementioned nukes—so the new ‘looser and mobile’ organizational structure was meant to achieve a faster advance rate in order to keep amassed forces vulnerable for shorter amounts of time:" The necessary concentration of forces for offensive operations was no longer to be achieved by massed formations, but rather through rapid movement from dispersed positions and shifting fires, raising the importance of independently operating formations. Consequently, according to the Soviet view, the battlefield would become increasingly fragmented in nature, offering more independence of action to commanders of combined arms formations. There has been an rapid evolution in military affairs due to nukes. Comms help, is all .. it's an attrition of a new kind (drones/missiles/artillery etc) being the result.
