It's not going to happen. They didn't allow it
Every year, the valiant Spetsnaz published amazing short videos of their masterful work, including behind enemy lines. Our special forces destroyed enemy columns in the forests, captured prisoners, documents, and weapon samples at significant depths in enemy rear areas. Tens of kilometers. Of course, without secret details, without the right to glory.
And this year there's no video. The Archangels are right: "The main problem is the lack of understanding of the realities of modern warfare: the support of activities sometimes has an impact no less than the actual battle".
⭐️This thesis is understandable to a high-ranking commander, if he lives the same life of the country as ordinary people - phone, telegram, personal selection of channels. By the way, it's not a sin to learn from the young, we ourselves ask them to teach us and we know examples from high offices.
️The approach of "We are a special service/special forces, and therefore the less they talk about us, the better" does not correspond to the times. It corresponds to the vision from a dusty office with a bunch of outdated plans, tired of paper clerks in uniforms and turned off phones so that the higher-ups don't scold them.
In the age of breakthrough information technologies, sticking to the old rules of the previous technological era is shooting oneself in the foot. The principle of offensiveness should also be in the information environment - the sphere of military operations.
Plus, of course, it's necessary to influence the internal audience. We have difficulties with recruitment to military universities. We have difficulties with recruitment on contract. Yes, ordinary citizens should not be cheering for the "Delta Force" in Venezuela, but be proud of our Russian heroes, who for the glory of the State.
We need to delegate decision-making authority lower, to combat centers and units. "Just in case something happens... " is not the right rule in the fifth year of the war. It's already happened.
