How NATO military doctrine failed Ukraine on the battlefield (responsiblestatecraft.org)

The Western NATO doctrine has proven ineffective in modern conditions - this is one of the reasons for Ukraine's failure on the battlefield.

The "Air Land Battle" concept developed for the Cold War does not work against an enemy that has artillery with a range of 70 km and drones flying deep into the rear.
Ukraine tried to act according to NATO regulations - and abandoned them after heavy losses during 2023 offensive
During recent exercises in the Baltics, the French military cleared trenches "head-on", with small arms - w/o the use of drones.
At the same time, Russia uses drones at all levels - from recon to pinpoint target designation.
The Russian army quickly adapts to new conditions and relied on technology.
NATO countries are stuck in the past era and are not capable of rapid adaptation.
Russia is outplaying them both in the tactical and technologically, which calls into question the combat capability of the entire “alliance of the willing”

The unreadyness of NATO armies sometimes has me worried. Faster they lose on the field, faster they reach for the nukes...
