Tactics is the science of fighting
Tactics is a concept that applies to many spheres of life. But once this word was only a military term. In translation from Greek -
Almost all of their history, people fought with each otherfriend for resources, territory, slaves, money. The simplest actions on the battlefield were replaced by more thoughtful and complex ones. The weapon also gradually became more effective.
Tactics is the science of conducting military operations, which was first developed
After the collapse of the Roman Empire and before the massThe use of tactical science in the army of firearms was poorly developed. But serious changes occurred after the start of the French Revolution. In a number of European countries, large armies based on general military service appeared. Linear tactics were no longer applied, in the battle began to combine columns and loose structure. The appearance of rifled weapons again introduced its own corrections. Columns and the loose order are a thing of the past, the troops began to move by dashes, digging out when taking positions. The blows were combined with maneuvers.
Applied by the Soviet Union in the Second Yearworld tactics are actions based on the doctrine of "deep battle". In accordance with her, the attack was to begin with the shelling of artillery and air strikes. Then came a breakthrough defense. The infantry attacked with the support of tanks. The main force became soldiers and combat vehicles.
The tactics used in modern warsbased on the interaction of different types of troops. But the main means of defeating the enemy is a combination of aviation strikes with artillery fire, BMP or BTR vehicles, tanks. In modern conditions, the battle is fleeting, and victory is achieved if one of the sides has the advantage in technology, maneuverability. Among other things, the morale of the soldiers is still an important condition for their ability to act actively. Modern tactics of war also take into account the possibility of nuclear strikes, which can dramatically change the situation. Chemical or biological agents can also to some extent influence the outcome of the battle. The concept of "tactics of war" today already has a slightly different content than, for example, a hundred years ago. Combat operations are often conducted with the use of preventive strikes, the use of sophisticated equipment, the destruction of enemy resources that would allow him to continue resistance.
