Think IFV's is what will take over after this war. Tanks are only good due to thier enormus range and ability to destroy anything with precision that is spoted by drones, but the protection just isn't viable think IFV's with 100 mm canons will be what becomes the new meta for armored forces
And why would that be? Neither IFVs nor tanks are supposed to be used on their own.
And how exactly is tank protection not viable? It is the most heavily protected vehicle on the battlefield.

Old school command of the missles was them having basically a lightbulb in the back. The position of the light bulb relative to the crosshairs of the command unit would calculate steering commands to guide the missle on target. The idea of that soft APS is to create additional inputs for the command unit to steer the missle off course.
Nah, 17 of the 18 Pumas that showed signs of damage are already repaired. Like many things in the Bundeswehr, or any army for that matter, it was mostly a failure by the politicians. They wanted an IFV that can basically do everything at once, and the industry cobbles together a vehicle that is good, mind you, but still somewhat delicate because its pumped full of high tech, and then instead of ordering enough so that everyone is fully equipped + surplus for parts, the defense ministry only orders 350 of them, and then cycles them around the units based on whoever currently needs them, to the point where the soldiers refer to the Puma as "wandering prostitutes."
So you have a good, but delicate IFV, that barely keeps up with the unreasonable demands of the defense ministry, thats also mismanaged into being strained beyond its limits with little to no maintenance, and then you complain when it breaks down. I smell another G36 scenario, where people who don't know much about military tech throw fits because they want a rifle that is cheap, accurate at all ranges, and never overheats even after several magazines of constant fire in the desert sun.

I assume the janny took one look at that and figured that kid was in wayyyy over his head. He also claimed Russia would economically collapse in a very short period, and then started getting evasive about specifics
It's a warriortard thread.
It's shilling regardless, the whole point of the entire thread was to take shots at the warrior, he's called warriortard for a reason. He is a shill that works shill hours.
Is this the new cope now?
You're no longer claiming poor little Russia is outnumbered by Ukraine and that's why they've been put on the retreat for 8 months now?
>You're no longer claiming poor little Russia is outnumbered by Ukraine and that's why they've been put on the retreat for 8 months now?
This happens every time a mobilization wave happens or new units are formed. Remember that entire army that was supposed to make it to Kyiv, before it got completely destroyed in like 2 weeks?
currently ukies have slightly more than Russia, which explains the series of retreats that got memed a few months ago. These new numbers change that substantively
>cannon shreds everything russians have short of MBTs >"hastily added" Milan shreds all russian MBTs and can be flexibly used in both mounted and dismounted role >frontally protected against russkie 30mm >causes homosexuals like OP to seethe
>Worse than warrior
Depends I guess
Warriors gun calibre is far superior
Marders cannon has a much better rpm
Both aren't stabilized
Both have a bodged on Milan
Warrior is faster
Marder is heavier
Armor on the warrior has proven to be very good, maybe the marder is the same because of the weight
Warrior has 3rd gen Thermals and good optics I don't think the Marder has 3rd gen? Could be wrong though
I think the big thing going for the warrior is that it's seen a frick ton of action in nearly every theatre since its introduction the Marder has seen minimal. The warrior performed very well not as good as a Bradley however but the Marder is pretty much untested in actual combat.
The Marder has proven itself in Afghanistan. They troops liked it and it kept them (mostly) alive even under heavy fire or while getting the shit kicked out of with big boy IEDs. One time one got completely fricked by a 200kg IED. Turned the thing into an unrecoverable wreck. 5 out the 6 crew members survived. It does the job it was designed for just fine.
Absaloutely incorrect.
How many Marders deployed?
Germany was in the most quiet place possible in Afganistan and managed to have a Marder totally destroyed and 2 seriously damaged.
It hasn't proven itself at all, it had a small taster of a coin conflict.
One got damaged by an RPG, one by a mine, the destroyed one got blown up by 200kg worth of explosives. Only the last one resulted in a death. These are good numbers. Doesn't matter if it was in a save part of town. A rpg is a rpg regardless
How many were deployed?
For instance 2500ish Bradley's were deployed to Iraq 1 and 2 in total 250 were lost, 350 Warriors deployedto Iraq 1/2 and Afganistan in total 5 were lost.
There isn't enough data to judge if the Marder is a capable combat vehicle, I guess we will see in Ukraine though.
So what? I was in a mechanized infantry/ armoured infantry role for 4 years. There is no situation where we fired on the move.
When attacking a target the whole area is covered in smoke for your approach while tanks sit in over watch and provide cover. When we get to the target the infantry get out usually within 100m of the enemy trench at which point we they engage due to limited depression and risk of friendly fire.
The IFV's will then about turn and retreat behind the armour or will sit in place if there is cover available.
They don't provide any ongoing support on objective because vehicles are clumsy that close and it's more important that they survive so that all teams have a ride home.
tl;dr, Even MBT's stop to fire, MBT's have the armour and armament for over watch, IFV's don' really need their cannons at all, especially not on the move, armoured infantry tactics remain the same if you're using an IFV or APC.
>was in a mechanized infantry/ armoured infantry role for 4 years. There is no situation where we fired on the move.
Sounds like your unit doesn’t conduct realistic training. Hell I was in an LAR battalion and the LAVs had no problem firing on the move and did it fairly often. Huge drawback in not being able to fire accurately on the move
It’s common practice for the last vehicle on our platoon to have their stabilized cannon pointed to the rear. Sometimes that means firing while still on the move to cover the platoon
I never said on road. We could be in a column formation off road and still have a vehicle covering the rear. You’re a clown for arguing the stabilization of a gun isn’t an advantage over a non stabilized one.
>This literally never happens, to your rear will be more friendly units, you reverse away from the enemy.
Happens all the time. >to your rear there will be friendly units
?
>My first hand experience says otherwise.
Your first hand experience doesn’t count for much. Sounds like you were in a very one dimensional unit that had non-stabilized cannons on their IFVs. I know Bradley gunnery consists of some firing on the move.

None of the first generation of IFV's have stabilised guns. Those guns are not there to fire on the advance in both NATO and Soviet doctrine. They are there for two purposes - to provide direct fire support against soft targets after the infantry have dismounted as your tanks and ATGM's are busy on the harder targets. And to provide covering fire while infantry mount up before retreating out of a position.
No one is training for a world of tanks situation where you just drive around shooting at things while you're on the move in a IFV - you don't carry enough ammunition to waste in that way.

We aren’t on the first generation of IFVs anymore since the bradley was adopted. Sure all the older non stabilized IFVs don’t shoot on the move because they don’t have the ability.
When I was with Brads they would shoot on the move fairly regularly. There many different scenarios where an IFV might shoot on the move. Not having the ability to do so accurately is a detriment
You think Bradley could fire accurately on the move? That's cute. You're confusing suppressive fire for effective fire, that's why Bradley has a smaller gun with a higher rate of fire.
Meanwhile in the real world, the IFV crew on advance to target is solely focused on getting to the objective and getting the troops out. You can't see the enemy because he's covered in smoke.
>You think Bradley could fire accurately on the move?
Yes absolutely. I’ve seen Bradley gunnery so I know how accurate it is on the move. Being able to consistently hit BMP silhouettes at 2,000m while traveling at 35 KPH is standard. I’m sorry you didn’t know that
> You can't see the enemy because he's covered in smoke
That’s not true. Why do you think every target is masked by smoke? Are you again letting your very specific training evolutions shape your entire understanding of how the world works?
>That’s not true. Why do you think every target is masked by smoke?
Because armoured infantry don't dismount troops onto a non obscured target, just as they don't advance without tanks on over watch. We have smoke generators/projectors, mortars, light guns and SPG's on call for this exact reason.
> Because armoured infantry don't dismount troops onto a non obscured target, just as they don't advance without tanks on over watch.
Not every movement is assaulting an objective moron. You aren’t going to spot a platoon of enemy scout vehicles and then proceed to obscure them with smoke. You just light them up with either 25 or TOWs.

Correct, but we're talking specifically about this situation and the need for IFV's and stabilisation in that role.
>You aren’t going to spot a platoon of enemy scout vehicles and then proceed to obscure them with smoke
Why would you dismount infantry to fight vehicles? Your scout vehicles/ATGM's/Helicopters/arty and most likely tanks will take them on directly. (from a static position).
But it’s the exact same vehicle. K2s fire on the move as well. I understand you don’t fully grasp the doctrine of mechanized infantry but you can learn if you do some research
It's not the exact same vehicle but that's besides the point, it's an entirely different battlefield role, it's not how any NATO IFV's operate.

Yeah, there's no advantage if there's no opportunity to use it. IFV's advancing to target are not looking to engage or suppress, that's the job of the other IFV's and tanks parked in overwatch. Once the advacing IFV's have stopped and dismounted they may well engage a target while other formations move to their position around them.
There is no situation where a western army puts an IFV in a position where it has to engage on the move, because they aren't as lethal as tanks, they aren't as well protected as tanks and they can't multitask like tanks.

>IFVs aren’t limited to the single scenario you’ve described
The entire purpose of an APC or IFV is to advance to a target and unload infantry, probably under fire. There is no other reason for them to exist. It is the situation that NATO armoured infantry spend most of their time practicing because guess what, armies main objective is to forcefully take land from an enemy.

50 years of armoured warfare doctrine, it's really changed very little since the 1970's, there's just some fancier toys around.
You recon a target, you advance to contact or a firing position with tanks, you engage your target at range, you suppress and obscure the target so IFV/APC's can advance and unload infantry, the infantry take the objective or create an area for more infantry to arrive/casualties to be removed. Tanks, helicopters, artillery and IFV's without movement orders provide fire support.
Rinse and repeat for every objective the enemy holds, have fresh units rotated in, old units rotated out for rest/refit. Maintain a logistics connection/hub, spread your scouts / secondary forces out to protect your flanks and rear areas.
?????
Win the war. Welcome to how NATO fights while going forward. All nations with armoured infantry practice it and all of them read from the same hymn sheet because our forces are expected to deploy side by side or even within mixed formations.

My Silverado is different than yours because I changed out the stereo system and added a rear facing camera.
Anon, the issue is that different militaries do things differently. You could spend hours discussing nuances in doctrine, which this would frankly not be the appropriate place to do.
What vehicles? I’ve only ever had experience with the bradley and they seemed to shoot on the move fairly consistently. Movement to contact, react to contact, even during bounding when supported by a non moving Bradley.
Entirely different battlefield roles, which is obvious as we're talking about IFV doctrine when attacking a target. or at least i'm talking about it and you're wasting time and trying to avoid admitting you don't know what you're talking about.
But it’s the exact same vehicle. K2s fire on the move as well. I understand you don’t fully grasp the doctrine of mechanized infantry but you can learn if you do some research
I was in an Arty battalion and we had a surprisingly different doctrine.
The trucks would drop us about 200m away from the objective.
We'd dosmount and close in on foot and the trucks would support us during our approach with their crew-served weapons.
Sshh the krauts are doing something good again after the first few months of being massive cucks. Positive reinforcement this time for stepping up with matching donations of IFVs.
It's not and your a homosexual never served moron who compares something designed in 1970 to modern variants of similar vehicles cause you're a gigantic homosexual shill.
>the Schwerpunkt concept is outdated and that concentration of forces is now suicidal.
Tell us how the Ukrainians broke through in the north without concentrating forces, anon.
They concentrated fires rather than forces and advanced in small highly mobile groups of light cav, and also the russians couldn't mount a formidable defense anyhow due to all their concentrated forces and ammo getting eviscerated by artillery, drones, and HIMARS
All APC/IFV's are trash on the modern battlefield

I assume the janny took one look at that and figured that kid was in wayyyy over his head. He also claimed Russia would economically collapse in a very short period, and then started getting evasive about specifics
It's a warriortard thread.
It's shilling regardless, the whole point of the entire thread was to take shots at the warrior, he's called warriortard for a reason. He is a shill that works shill hours.
Uh oh your insecurity is showing. I think the warrior is mentioned once before your post.
Is this the new cope now?
You're no longer claiming poor little Russia is outnumbered by Ukraine and that's why they've been put on the retreat for 8 months now?
>You're no longer claiming poor little Russia is outnumbered by Ukraine and that's why they've been put on the retreat for 8 months now?
This happens every time a mobilization wave happens or new units are formed. Remember that entire army that was supposed to make it to Kyiv, before it got completely destroyed in like 2 weeks?
newest /k/ope: refuse to do basic math
Ukraine has been outnumbered from the get go, no? Especially in terms of armor and artillery
currently ukies have slightly more than Russia, which explains the series of retreats that got memed a few months ago. These new numbers change that substantively
>Russia will have an army of 600k in half a year
Didn't they have around a million soldiers before the invasion?
In Ukraine? No, it's never been above 250k, they invaded with about 150-200k
>~200K invasion force
>300K mobilized 2022
>500K predicted mobilized 2023
Anon, why do you say only 600K. What happened to the other 400K.
The Argentine version is better IIRC.
it was rolled out in the 60s/70s obviously the concept hadn't been quite worked out yet

Dunno, looks pretty good to me.
>Worse than warrior
Depends I guess
Warriors gun calibre is far superior
Marders cannon has a much better rpm
Both aren't stabilized
Both have a bodged on Milan
Warrior is faster
Marder is heavier
Armor on the warrior has proven to be very good, maybe the marder is the same because of the weight
Warrior has 3rd gen Thermals and good optics I don't think the Marder has 3rd gen? Could be wrong though
I think the big thing going for the warrior is that it's seen a frick ton of action in nearly every theatre since its introduction the Marder has seen minimal. The warrior performed very well not as good as a Bradley however but the Marder is pretty much untested in actual combat.
I'd say the Warrior is probably better.
The Marder has proven itself in Afghanistan. They troops liked it and it kept them (mostly) alive even under heavy fire or while getting the shit kicked out of with big boy IEDs. One time one got completely fricked by a 200kg IED. Turned the thing into an unrecoverable wreck. 5 out the 6 crew members survived. It does the job it was designed for just fine.
Absaloutely incorrect.
How many Marders deployed?
Germany was in the most quiet place possible in Afganistan and managed to have a Marder totally destroyed and 2 seriously damaged.
It hasn't proven itself at all, it had a small taster of a coin conflict.
One got damaged by an RPG, one by a mine, the destroyed one got blown up by 200kg worth of explosives. Only the last one resulted in a death. These are good numbers. Doesn't matter if it was in a save part of town. A rpg is a rpg regardless
How many were deployed?
For instance 2500ish Bradley's were deployed to Iraq 1 and 2 in total 250 were lost, 350 Warriors deployedto Iraq 1/2 and Afganistan in total 5 were lost.
There isn't enough data to judge if the Marder is a capable combat vehicle, I guess we will see in Ukraine though.
It's only for taxi rides to the front lines
>>non stabilized cannon
So what? I was in a mechanized infantry/ armoured infantry role for 4 years. There is no situation where we fired on the move.
When attacking a target the whole area is covered in smoke for your approach while tanks sit in over watch and provide cover. When we get to the target the infantry get out usually within 100m of the enemy trench at which point we they engage due to limited depression and risk of friendly fire.
The IFV's will then about turn and retreat behind the armour or will sit in place if there is cover available.
They don't provide any ongoing support on objective because vehicles are clumsy that close and it's more important that they survive so that all teams have a ride home.
tl;dr, Even MBT's stop to fire, MBT's have the armour and armament for over watch, IFV's don' really need their cannons at all, especially not on the move, armoured infantry tactics remain the same if you're using an IFV or APC.
>was in a mechanized infantry/ armoured infantry role for 4 years. There is no situation where we fired on the move.
Sounds like your unit doesn’t conduct realistic training. Hell I was in an LAR battalion and the LAVs had no problem firing on the move and did it fairly often. Huge drawback in not being able to fire accurately on the move
It’s common practice for the last vehicle on our platoon to have their stabilized cannon pointed to the rear. Sometimes that means firing while still on the move to cover the platoon
>approaching a target via road
Have fun with that, we're talking about mechanized warfare with tanks and tracked APC/IFV's not clown cars with oversized wheels.
I never said on road. We could be in a column formation off road and still have a vehicle covering the rear. You’re a clown for arguing the stabilization of a gun isn’t an advantage over a non stabilized one.
>We could be in a column formation off road and still have a vehicle covering the rear.
This literally never happens, to your rear will be more friendly units, you reverse away from the enemy.
My first hand experience says otherwise.
>This literally never happens, to your rear will be more friendly units, you reverse away from the enemy.
Happens all the time.
>to your rear there will be friendly units
?
>My first hand experience says otherwise.
Your first hand experience doesn’t count for much. Sounds like you were in a very one dimensional unit that had non-stabilized cannons on their IFVs. I know Bradley gunnery consists of some firing on the move.
>your experience not supporting my theories must mean your unit was trash
kek
ikr, he's quite fragile
>gun stabilization is my theory
None of the first generation of IFV's have stabilised guns. Those guns are not there to fire on the advance in both NATO and Soviet doctrine. They are there for two purposes - to provide direct fire support against soft targets after the infantry have dismounted as your tanks and ATGM's are busy on the harder targets. And to provide covering fire while infantry mount up before retreating out of a position.
No one is training for a world of tanks situation where you just drive around shooting at things while you're on the move in a IFV - you don't carry enough ammunition to waste in that way.
We aren’t on the first generation of IFVs anymore since the bradley was adopted. Sure all the older non stabilized IFVs don’t shoot on the move because they don’t have the ability.
Tracked IFVs both travel on road and shoot on the move
That’s some third world doctrine right there
We stomped Saddam with it, go back to your video games.
moron
When I was with Brads they would shoot on the move fairly regularly. There many different scenarios where an IFV might shoot on the move. Not having the ability to do so accurately is a detriment
You think Bradley could fire accurately on the move? That's cute. You're confusing suppressive fire for effective fire, that's why Bradley has a smaller gun with a higher rate of fire.
Meanwhile in the real world, the IFV crew on advance to target is solely focused on getting to the objective and getting the troops out. You can't see the enemy because he's covered in smoke.
>You think Bradley could fire accurately on the move?
Yes absolutely. I’ve seen Bradley gunnery so I know how accurate it is on the move. Being able to consistently hit BMP silhouettes at 2,000m while traveling at 35 KPH is standard. I’m sorry you didn’t know that
>Being able to consistently hit BMP silhouettes at 2,000m while traveling at 35 KPH is standard. I’m sorry you didn’t know that
Walter Mitty, stop larping.
> You can't see the enemy because he's covered in smoke
That’s not true. Why do you think every target is masked by smoke? Are you again letting your very specific training evolutions shape your entire understanding of how the world works?
>That’s not true. Why do you think every target is masked by smoke?
Because armoured infantry don't dismount troops onto a non obscured target, just as they don't advance without tanks on over watch. We have smoke generators/projectors, mortars, light guns and SPG's on call for this exact reason.
> Because armoured infantry don't dismount troops onto a non obscured target, just as they don't advance without tanks on over watch.
Not every movement is assaulting an objective moron. You aren’t going to spot a platoon of enemy scout vehicles and then proceed to obscure them with smoke. You just light them up with either 25 or TOWs.
>Not every movement is assaulting an objective moron.
Correct, but we're talking specifically about this situation and the need for IFV's and stabilisation in that role.
>You aren’t going to spot a platoon of enemy scout vehicles and then proceed to obscure them with smoke
Why would you dismount infantry to fight vehicles? Your scout vehicles/ATGM's/Helicopters/arty and most likely tanks will take them on directly. (from a static position).
It's not the exact same vehicle but that's besides the point, it's an entirely different battlefield role, it's not how any NATO IFV's operate.
> Correct, but we're talking specifically about this situation and the need for IFV's and stabilisation in that role.
No, we were talking about stabilized guns being an advantage over non stabilized guns. You’re the one who can only apply it to you’re narrow experience.
> Why would you dismount infantry to fight vehicles
You wouldn’t and I didn’t suggest you would. I said you’d just shoot them
>No, we were talking about stabilized guns being an advantage over non stabilized guns.
Yeah, there's no advantage if there's no opportunity to use it. IFV's advancing to target are not looking to engage or suppress, that's the job of the other IFV's and tanks parked in overwatch. Once the advacing IFV's have stopped and dismounted they may well engage a target while other formations move to their position around them.
There is no situation where a western army puts an IFV in a position where it has to engage on the move, because they aren't as lethal as tanks, they aren't as well protected as tanks and they can't multitask like tanks.
There is an advantage. Being able to fire accurately on the move. IFVs aren’t limited to the single scenario you’ve described
>IFVs aren’t limited to the single scenario you’ve described
The entire purpose of an APC or IFV is to advance to a target and unload infantry, probably under fire. There is no other reason for them to exist. It is the situation that NATO armoured infantry spend most of their time practicing because guess what, armies main objective is to forcefully take land from an enemy.
This is incredible cope. Do you think the real world is going to match up completely with your training manual. It won’t. IFVs with stabilized cannons sometimes fire on the move. It just happenes. Not being able to do that is a pretty large disadvantage.
Yea I’m not sure why that guy is so defensive. Maybe he’s upset that people agree the bradley is better than the marder?
> There is no situation where a western army puts an IFV in a position where it has to engage on the move
Source?
50 years of armoured warfare doctrine, it's really changed very little since the 1970's, there's just some fancier toys around.
You recon a target, you advance to contact or a firing position with tanks, you engage your target at range, you suppress and obscure the target so IFV/APC's can advance and unload infantry, the infantry take the objective or create an area for more infantry to arrive/casualties to be removed. Tanks, helicopters, artillery and IFV's without movement orders provide fire support.
Rinse and repeat for every objective the enemy holds, have fresh units rotated in, old units rotated out for rest/refit. Maintain a logistics connection/hub, spread your scouts / secondary forces out to protect your flanks and rear areas.
?????
Win the war. Welcome to how NATO fights while going forward. All nations with armoured infantry practice it and all of them read from the same hymn sheet because our forces are expected to deploy side by side or even within mixed formations.
You've had more of my time than you deserve, so hopefully you've learnt something, i won't be replying again.
That’s nice but 50 year old doctrine isn’t the law of the land. Shit happens, targets pop up, covered egresses need to happen. Plenty of reasons an IFV would have to shoot while moving. Not having the ability to do so is a marked disadvantage
> It's not the exact same vehicle but that's besides the point,
kek it’s the exact same vehicle. The differences are what comm gear it has and how many TOWs it carries. The vehicles, gun, and fcs are identical
>kek it’s the exact same vehicle.
>proceeds to list some differences (you missed the float screens, firing ports, optics, and different missile boxes)
Looks like you don't know what exact means. And as i've already said - they operate in different roles, the vehicles you posted aren't IFV's, they don't practice to operate as IFV's.
My Silverado is different than yours because I changed out the stereo system and added a rear facing camera.
Anon, the issue is that different militaries do things differently. You could spend hours discussing nuances in doctrine, which this would frankly not be the appropriate place to do.
What vehicles? I’ve only ever had experience with the bradley and they seemed to shoot on the move fairly consistently. Movement to contact, react to contact, even during bounding when supported by a non moving Bradley.
>the ifv I have personal experience with can’t fire on the move so firing on the move isn’t valid
>proceeds to post M3 scout Bradleys that aren't IFV's
I'm not even american and I can tell the difference in vehicles and the difference in roles.
It’s the same gun on the same chassis. It’s firing on the move. The only difference is it carries extra TOWs instead of troops.
Entirely different battlefield roles, which is obvious as we're talking about IFV doctrine when attacking a target. or at least i'm talking about it and you're wasting time and trying to avoid admitting you don't know what you're talking about.
But it’s the exact same vehicle. K2s fire on the move as well. I understand you don’t fully grasp the doctrine of mechanized infantry but you can learn if you do some research
> I'm not even american and I can tell the difference in vehicles
Tell us the difference in the vehicle anon.
I was in an Arty battalion and we had a surprisingly different doctrine.
The trucks would drop us about 200m away from the objective.
We'd dosmount and close in on foot and the trucks would support us during our approach with their crew-served weapons.
Sshh the krauts are doing something good again after the first few months of being massive cucks. Positive reinforcement this time for stepping up with matching donations of IFVs.
IFVs with stabilized guns fire on the move all the time. Bradleys do it, CV-90 does it, the Newer German ones do it.
>iron pig
>not a word since 1970
>absolute pavel cope seething since the delivery was announced
kek these anti-german degenerates are too obvious
Should have bought Korean.
Not having a stabilized gun is a huge disadvantage for IFVs
Agreed
It's not and your a homosexual never served moron who compares something designed in 1970 to modern variants of similar vehicles cause you're a gigantic homosexual shill.
Yea it’s a huge disadvantage not being able to accurately fire and move. sucks you have to pretend otherwise
Love seeing the kraut marder homosexual argue about doctrine based on his few years of conscription.
Book written for 1985, so it misses that the Schwerpunkt concept is outdated and that concentration of forces is now suicidal.
>the Schwerpunkt concept is outdated and that concentration of forces is now suicidal.
Tell us how the Ukrainians broke through in the north without concentrating forces, anon.
They concentrated fires rather than forces and advanced in small highly mobile groups of light cav, and also the russians couldn't mount a formidable defense anyhow due to all their concentrated forces and ammo getting eviscerated by artillery, drones, and HIMARS
You are supposed to disperse unless you concentrate to gain local superiority. RTFM.
