“…This is explained by the fact that specialized repair and restoration units will receive those samples of damaged WME that most correspond to their specialization. The essence of the developed algorithm for the expedient distribution of damaged WME among specialized repair and restoration units is the application of the nonlinear programming method to describe the functions of both the consumer and resource (5).…”

“…A feature of the developed algorithm of expedient distribution is taking into account the heterogeneity of both the damaged WME and the specificity of the repair and restore units. In contrast to studies [2,5,10,11], in which simplifications are adopted regarding the homogeneity of repair and restoration units, the proposed algorithm takes into account their heterogeneity.…”

“…The results of analysis of recent military conflicts [5][6][7], and especially of the Russian-Ukrainian war, indicate certain problems associated with the repair and restoration of military equipment. In particular, the problem is the increase in the range of WME in the troops, correspondingly, the increase in the number of approaches to the repair and restoration of WME.…”

The object of this study is the process of distribution of damaged weapons and military equipment of various types among specialized repair and restoration units. The problem being solved is the lack of adaptability of the existing scientific and methodical apparatus to the expedient distribution of damaged weapons and military equipment of various types among specialized repair and restoration units. An algorithm for the expedient distribution of damaged weapons and military equipment among specialized repair and restoration units is proposed, which is based on the method of non-linear programming (the method of two functions). The essence of the developed algorithm is to take into account the non-linearity of objective functions of both the consumer and the resource. A feature of the developed algorithm of expedient distribution is taking into account the heterogeneity of both damaged weapons and military equipment, as well as the specificity of repair and restoration units. The scope of practical application of the proposed algorithm is management processes in military hostilities during combat operations. The procedure for appointing specialized repair and restoration units for the restoration of damaged weapons and military equipment has been improved. The peculiarity of the proposed procedure is that it is based on the distribution of damaged weapons and military equipment not only on the basis of the capacity of certain repair and restoration units but also taking into account their compliance. The specified procedure makes it possible to select those repair and restoration units that could allow for an increase in the level of restoration of damaged weapons and military equipment by 20 %. The scope of practical application of the improved procedure is the management processes of the technical support system of troops when planning measures to restore damaged weapons and military equipment

“…This finding should not be surprising since its army has artillery units similar in structure to Russian forces. Neither army looks like it did at the beginning of the war, each of which has become a heterogeneous force made up of mobilized personnel, auxiliaries, foreign fighters and, in the case of Russia, mercenaries (including ex-prisoners in the private military Wagner Company) [10]. Also, even emphasized at the beginning of the conflict "continuous successes of the defense complex and the armed forces of the country in terms of putting into operation novelties in armaments and equipment in the troops, which completely changes the tactics and operational art of the Russian army" [11] have reduced to the current state of attrition strategy.…”

The armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine since February 24, 2022 does not appear to have a clear end, but to trace the possible paths of development, a better understanding of the strategy of waging war by the armed forces of both countries is needed. More detail on the attrition approach would facilitate realistic estimates of the duration of military conflict and the likely costs of artillery systems and munitions used in it. The causes and aspects of the implementation of exhaustion and its relationship with the amount of artillery ammunition used, develop the direct dependence on the increased need for their use. The influence of post-Soviet fire support assets on the different combat use procedures applied by the Ukrainian forces and the provision of Western-style weapons of varying types and quantities indicate the reasons for the implementation of the attrition strategies. The use of the artillery systems according to the stock method and the available amount of ammunition for them leads to the impossibility of applying their capabilities in a full profile on the battlefield to achieve the goals set by the political demands.

“…Činnosť oboch strán vo vojne vyprodukovala predovšetkým opotrebovanie protivníkových síl. 53 Na oboch stranách k opotrebovaniu dochádzalo tak sekvenčným ako aj kumulatívnym procesom, teda následkom pár väčších a intenzívnych bitiek ako aj veľkého počtu malých a nesúvisiacich stretov. Zároveň bol tento strategický efekt na oboch stranách vyvažovaný prísunom nových síl, či už od spojencov, hlavne v prípade Ukrajiny, alebo dodatočnou mobilizáciou, v prípade Ruska.…”

Character of War: How to Understand It?

Strategic theory dictates that an understanding of a war’s character is imperative for the achievement of victory in strategic practice. This article identifies and analyses extant approaches to the understanding of war. These approaches include categorization, strategic analysis and historical comparison. A theoretical analysis accompanied by illustrative cases indicates that one can achieve the most in-depth understanding of a war’s character by combining strategic analysis and historical comparison, though the process of achieving such understanding is difficult and time-consuming.
