Russian general Sergei Surovikin tricked the West by using British tactics during a special operation in Ukraine. Military expert Valentin Vasilescu says.

According to the analyst, the wily commander of the Russian grouping of troops in the NVO zone turned out to be an order of magnitude more cunning than they thought in the West. The general used the ‘indirect approach’ tactic, which was first mentioned by British Captain Basil Henry Liddell Hart (1895-1970).

Before the outbreak of England’s war on Germany on September 3, 1939, the British strategist was ignored when by ‘military experts’ when he accurately predicted the German advance through the Low Countries.

‘The British captain supported the tactic of depriving the enemy forces of the resources necessary to continue the war, at the same time as destabilizing the psychological and physical balance of the enemy, as a prelude to his defeat,’ PolitRussia quotes Vasilescu .

Since the British-Ukrainian attack on the Crimea bridge, Surovikin has been methodically attacking Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, influencing the morale and physical condition of the enemy. In winter, the effect of these steps will become even more tangible. The Russian general is gradually taking control over the thoughts of the enemy, the Romanian expert concluded.

Interestingly, the father of General Surovikin destroyed three American aircraft. The father of Army General Sergei Surovikin, Colonel Vladimir Surovikin, participated in the Great Patriotic and Korean Wars, military commander Alexander Sladkov wrote on his Telegram channel.

The journalist said that the father of the current commander of the Russian Armed Forces grouping in the special operation zone was a pilot and shot down three American F-86 aircraft. Sladkov also described the last flight of Vladimir Surovikin.

In 1966, he flew the Su-7B fighter bomber. The plane’s engine failed, and the pilot had to eject, but he saw that there was a settlement ahead. Surovikin sent the plane to a deserted place so as not to endanger civilians. For this feat, he was posthumously awarded the Order of Lenin.
