Operatsioonikulusust

Operatsioonikulusust is a Russian military doctrine that describes the principles and methods of conducting military operations. The doctrine emphasizes the importance of adapting to changing circumstances and improvising tactical solutions. It is based on the concept of "operational surprise," where a commander uses innovative tactics and strategies to catch the enemy off guard.

The concept of operatsioonikulusust was first developed in the late 20th century by Soviet and Russian military theorists, including General Vasily Pilipenko. The doctrine gained prominence during the 1970s and 1980s, as the Soviet Union military attempted to adapt to changing global circumstances. Operatsioonikulusust is characterized by a high degree of flexibility and adaptability, with commanders encouraged to think creatively and use unconventional tactics.

Key principles of operatsioonikulusust include asymmetric warfare, operational surprise, and the use of "shock groups" to break through enemy defenses. The doctrine also places a strong emphasis on the role of intelligence in informing tactical decisions. By using advanced technology and coordinating efforts between different branches of the military, commanders can achieve significant advantages on the battlefield.

In the modern era, operatsioonikulusust has been applied in various contexts, including counterinsurgency campaigns and international military interventions. The doctrine has also influenced military thought in other countries, with Western military theorists incorporating elements of operatsioonikulusust into their own strategies.
