Pero lanzarse así, a lo loco, es difícil de creerlo. En los años 70s y 80s la maniobra sovietica para cruzar rios (y rios mas anchos) era de las mas practicada, y lo primero que hacian era mandar una partida de reconocimiento. Veo mas las fotos y mas perplejo quedo. Saludos cordiales.
Sobre lo que comentabamos ayer de los cruces con oposición (p. 42):
Prepared River Crossings
Apparently because they expect to cross most rivers from the march at lightly defended or unoccupied sites, the Soviets devote considerably less attention to the enemy-opposed prepared crossing. Such a crossing requires detailed planning and preparation, centralized control, and massive suppression of enemy fires. They conduct a prepared crossing from a position in contact. The prepared crossing is used as a last resort, when an assault crossing from the march fails or is not possible.
A prepared crossing requires intensive reconnaissance. By day, troops observe enemy defensive positions and activity. Under cover of darkness engineer and reconnaissance patrols measure the river, inspect obstacles, and pinpoint crossing areas.
During preparation, troops make maximum use of existing fortification as well as cover and concealment of personnel and equipment. They prepare roads and cross-country routes for movement to crossing sites, as are assembly areas and artillery positions. Such work is performed at night under the guise of improving the defense.
Twice as many troops as had occupied defensive positions normally launched the initial assault in a prepared river crossing. It generally takes place either at night or under a smoke screen. An artillery preparation is fired against enemy strongpoints. Airborne or heliborne forces may be used to block enemy reinforcements. Some artillery is employed in the direct fire role to neutralize enemy weapons remaining in the enemy defensive sector.
The prepared crossing is conducted similarly to the assault crossing. Numerous APC's swim across on a broad frontage supported by all available direct and indirect fires. Tanks and other heavy weapons and equipment follow. Bridging is emplaced only when bridge sites are secure from enemy observation and direct fire.
