The IDF officer, co-founder of the Center for the Study of Rebel Movements in Ukraine, military instructor in the Ukrainian Defense GO Igal Levin told about this “Apostrophe”.
"In Ukraine, it is possible to adopt a law on decommunization, to dump the monument to Lenin, but, unfortunately, this will not help. Having destroyed the old one, it is necessary to build new structures, and in the 21st century this would be normal.. But for this we need specialists. How can you create a new, if people who are at the helm, have a Soviet mentality? If we don’t want a Soviet society, we need people from the West ", said Levin.
He noted that despite the reforms, a simple “muscle building” by the Ukrainian army will not lead to any positive result, because this happens in the Russian army.
"There is much more money spent there than in Ukraine, the potential there is higher, even corny in the number of people. Therefore, in such wars and situations, the answer can only be asymmetrical.. This is not a question of choice, but the only correct way ", - stressed the officer of the IDF.
As Levin explained, asymmetry is to look at what the enemy’s attention is honed on, and to create structures that will be sharpened by the war he does not expect..
That is, if the enemy is planning tank breakthroughs, then you need to create those structures that can fight with tanks.
"The asymmetric warfare tells us that this is a way out for the poor in general, not necessarily for countries. And for Ukraine it is the only way out.. But in order to develop the asymmetric experience of the war and its concept, we also need specialists. For this, it is necessary for the military of Ukraine to go to Syria and study there, using the example of what is happening, because there is an asymmetric war going on, "the expert is sure.
