After the 1989 revolution, I talked to a Czechoslovak army officer about the WP's capabilities. He said that from the late sixties onwards, there was no realistic chance of an attack on western Europe because of the low level of loyalty of the Soviet Union's allies. i.e., there was a high risk of the Poles, Czechs, East Germans etc. either not fighting at all or switching sides.

That's why the author should have made the scenario for mid 1980s at the latest not for 1989. It's just silly for 1989. At least in mid 1980s eastern block was still more or less politically stable and it's economy although not in good condition by any stretch could have sustained a war effort for a short time (maybe not even then - not sure about that but certainly not by late 80s), but not in 1989. Also long term war (several years) is not even worth making scenario without taking into account political and morale factors. Again author should have concentrated on up to 1 year scenario at most. After that it all breaks down without taking into account more complex factors. It just becomes useless even as an intellectual exercise - it becomes too detached from any possible potential reality that could have existed.

One of the many constraints on the Soviet Army was its system of conscription and its sheer size. The Soviet population could no longer sustain the size of military that Soviets had created over the '70s. More and more Central Asians were being conscripted, and where they used to be limited to the Construction Troops and other non-combat organizations, now they were flowing into the combat units. The Soviets had to re institute Russian language classes they had dropped when the conscription period dropped to two years. The KGB, MVD, airborne, spetnaz, air force and navy (where conscripts had to serve three years) soaked up most of the technically competent, literate and committed/loyal ethnic Russians, leaving the tank and motorized rifle troops with what was left. Soviet tactics and operations had to be simple because they simply didn't have the quality conscripts to train in more than a single task in the two years they were with the unit. Conscripts with limited mental abilities and criminal records were swept up to fill the ranks. When the Soviets went to two years, DODSAAF was supposed to provide basic training through schools and youth organizations, but this was pretty much a failure between unmotivated cadre and a lack of resources. So conscripts came to the units untrained. A new batch came every six months as the time-expired conscripts moved on (one of the warning signs was if the Soviets DIDN'T release these men). This meant that 25% of a Soviet unit was made up of untrained or barely trained troops who could barely use their personal weapon. 25% would be at least partly trained and 50% would be fully trained to the rather simple tasks and standards. But 25% would be in short-timer mode. Training for new troops was often interrupted by fatigue duties. The Soviets had no real NCO core to maintain discipline and daily admin and ops. NCOs were just conscripts with more training, often still in their first year. Officers had to do junior NCO work. But they also had their own jobs to do, so they relied on the 25%, the "old sweats" to get things done. The "old sweats" assigned all the fatigue duties to the "new fish". They also acquired any money, or other assets and assigned the "New fish" to do individual menial jobs like cleaning boots and clothes for the "old sweats". If the "new fish" protested, they were beaten. The officers looked the other way. As an example of standards, a Soviet tank crew in a T-54/55 or T-62 was expected to master an engagement cycle, firing from the halt at stationary targets, of two targets a minute (the US Army standard with the M60A1 was six rpm). They might fire 10-12 live rounds a year (a NATO crew fired 100-120). The drivers might get 120-160 hours a year, compared to NATO troops who got at least 480. A lot training was on props and rote memory and confined to a single task. Tank crew members were rarely cross-trained onto another position. Living conditions can only be described as "Third World". Food was monotonous and unhealthy, hygiene and living conditions fostered contagious diseases like hepatitis, typhus and diphtheria. Troops had better equipment in many ways than earlier, even being issued sleeping bags, though this equipment was often left behind on maneuvers for lack of space. Training accidents, murders, suicides and such reached 7-8% and more of the force by 1987. The Soviets had problems with health and physical readiness of conscripts. Reservists received little refesher or sustainment training which probably helped since the Category C and Mobilization divisions were armed with 20 year old equipment. But except in GOSFG and some other high priority units, even CAT A divisions needed 10-15% of their force in reservists to fill to war strength.

@@jeffreykalb9752 Sadly, in this particular case it is indeed useless. While one can imagine countries trying *everything* to resolve a local conflict without nukes, this sort of scenario suggests the opposite, with tactical warheads embedded in any large - scale planning from the day 1. Moreover, even if deploying nukes ends up less apocalyptic due to countermeasures, failures, human error, political pressure, that's still more than enough to affect another factor Binkov leaves out - morale. Not necessarily in a way people usually predict, though. Sure, population in WP was less than friendly to USSR in 1989. However... imagine you live in eg. Poland, which is most likely nuked into oblivion in the very beginning. Why? This is how NATO could ruin logistics of WP with one swift strike - the alternative routes to Germany were inferior and/or more exposed. Imagine you live there, secretly predisposed towards the West. Oh, wait, NATO just turned your major cities into irradiated wasteland. All available sources are saying they attacked first. All alternative sources are either jammed or too risky, because it's war, therefore listening to / disseminating foreign propaganda might already be a capital offense. Suddenly it's Soviet AA units who are defending your cities against conventional bombardments. The more it takes, the more it looks like "both sides are assholes", so rebellion makes no sense. So... rather than some top 10 Anime Betrayals I suspect Soviet puppets would turn into massive anti - war hubs, pressuring their communist governments about armistice - and they, in turn, would actually have something to pressure Moscow with: their remaining infrastructure. Sure, USSR can outright occupy one or two puppets to secure supply lines - but not without extremely costly drama that would spill over entire WP.

Morale and combat quality of NATO troops differed greatly too. American troops were more known for their drug and drinking habits. What's more, while their NATO allied troops would get out in the dirt, Americans preferred to remain in their vehicles, which were warm and comfy compared to slugging in the mud. And I cannot imagine that either side would be prepared to lose 100,000s of men in atrocious fighting conditions. Napalm was a much used weapon to 'chase enemy infantry from buildings,' so they could be bombed and machinegunned in the open. In my opinion, after only a few weeks, both sides would reach an agreement to stop advancing and to stop shooting at each other. NATO ammunition stores are also greatly inflated because it had to deal with quite a number of different calibers. France's position within NATO has always been up for debate. They were outside of the NATO military organization but cooperated on the political level. This would have decreased fighting capability and efficiency within NATO to a significant degree. Meaning it could mean the difference between holding the line or having to fall back because of lack of supporting troops. British General Sir John Hackett wrote two books, with two very varying scenarios of how WWIII would be fought in Western Europe. He had great insight into the political instability of the Warsaw Pact forces. A protracted, costly war would probably have seen one or two sattelite states rebel which would mean more forces would have to be diverted to fight the rebels. Then again, NATO's main supply route across the Northern Atlantic would have been its achilles heel. The Soviet Northern Fleet was not designed to fight a long war but to launch an enormous amount of anti shipping missiles at the start of hostilities which would have decimated NATO naval forces in the Atlantic. Also, as the military strategic minds in WWI could not keep up with the attrition rate of infantry in the endless trench warfare (which is a misnomer because if the men had remained inside their trenches, it wouldn't have been all that bad). Strategic minds theorizing about WWIII would have been baffled by the fact that after one or two weeks, there would be no airfields operational anymore and precious few combat planes and pilots left after the initial slaughter (AAA missiles and 'Shilka' type AA vehicles would have reduced the average survival time of pilots on either side to minutes instead of hours).

He mentioned Soviet supplies specifically not necessarily Polish supplies because he sort of despised the Soviets but yet he was an officer, (Still not exactly an officer of what but oh well).

Definite win for Soviets. Soviet Union in 1989 was very weak and almost broken due to stagnation started under Brezhnev. No surprise 2 years later it broke. Still got a minor victory. However Soviets in 1960 were at their strongest and could've easily taken all of Europe.

You missed one big factor, the US and NATO using laser guided bombs. That completely changed modern warfare and were an incredible shock to Soviet planners. Any Soviet ground forces without air cover would be decimated by precision strikes. And the F-117 stealth fighter would destroy Soviet air defense because it was an unknown quantity at the time and it's vulnerability to particular frequencies had not been discovered and developed. So it would be unopposed at night. In fact the general superiority that NATO forces had at night would be a big factor as well, as the American forces in Iraq said "we own the night". NATO could advance and counter attack at night and reinforce it's positions during the day.

The southern flank is an old story played in both WW1 and WW2. Neither worked for the Allies. The British ended up losing 2 divisions at Doiran and never attempted fighting the Bulgarians again. The Turkish border in 1989 was impenetrable fortress ex. nuclear weapons. In fact, that’s why the strategic rocket forces had intermediate ballistic warheads in the town of Sandanski on the Greek border. The Bulgarians had prepared for all kinetic scenarios hence they had stationed 3 armies (most of their available forces in the “star” formation (Elhovo, Topolovgrad, Sliven) there was 3 armored division in the town of Sliven designed to push back any initial Turkish advance. That was always perceived to be a stalemate with trench fighting unless the Alexander Lebed’s Soviet 14th army had engaged from Transnistria and pushed the Turks back across the Golden Horn.

One thing that none of these scenarios take into account is the mass defections that I think would take place. This would be the prime opportunity for the Warsaw Pact and Soviet countries to defect. You'd have mass chaos and uprisings in each country. East Germany would be first, then the Baltic countries. Poland and Hungary would be next. None of those countries wanted to be under the heavy hand of the Kremlin. Even if that didn't happen, on a micro level, troop by troop, pilot by pilot, you'd see mass defections. You think the Polish troops would really jump to the front line to fight for Russia? Add to this the likelihood of the neutral countries immediately forming an alliance with NATO. Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, and Finland would have some sort of military alliance with NATO if war were on the horizon. No way those countries would want to run the risk of being under Russian control. Which troops would fight harder? The guys trying to prevent the USSR from ruling them, or the poor bastards who are ordered by the Kremlin to go and fight? The CIA would work to get China to go to war with Russia on that side of the country. Overall, this would have been a very bad idea for the WP/USSR. And they knew it. That's why never tried it.

They pre identified 106 targets in West Germany for tactical nuke strikes and they would simply drive their tanks through what was left.

T-72s used by Iraq were much inferior to the ones used by USSR, Also, different tactics and numbers. One of the biggest reasons why Iraq got so crushed was because the tanks were stripped bare of their advanced equipment(night fighting, range finders etc.) and were dug down in static positions. This allowed for US forces to take them out at range. Of course, the fact that Iraq also had no Airforce was a wellcome advantage.

Smart weapons were extremely rare in 1989, even in the 1991 Gulf War where the US could concentrate their best arsenal on Iraq, smart bombs made up less than 10% of all munitions dropped. If you watch the video Binkov did model training ratios which favoured active NATO units on an individual basis, its just that active WP troops outnumbered them by such an insane amount they wouldve still been pushed back regardless. Also remember that training quality only differs at the start of the war, combat experience will mean that tactics and the skill of individual troops will reach parity as the war drags on through natural selection. In the end it is NATO's powerful economies and the US's safe geographical isolation that will eventually outproduce WP and drive them back. But then again we all know the WP drove itself bankrupt trying to keep its initial combat edge anyway.
@PulpComic
@PulpComic 6 жыл бұрын
I agree with everything below but even a few dozen devastating strikes by the F-117s on command and control, rail bridges and fuel stores could have put the armored columns into highway of death status. The training in combined arms and the better coordination of NATO forces would be able to counter the outright numbers advantage in artillery and armor. Much of which on the WP side could best be considered 50's and 60's surplus. Add in the low Soviet morale in '89 and this is a recipe for 'Red Storm Rising' levels of FUBAR.

I am not sure what you are talking about 'better coordination'. Actually, it would be a bit harder for NATO to coordinate. not only in this scenario where soviets do the push, so the chain of command has to be made in a hurry, but different nations in NATO had a different status. Like Greece and Turkey might not agree with US plans. France with the one of UK. Furthermore, bombings on railways, command and control centers etc. would be a problem for both sides. Soviets can do that as well, you know?

The thing about the Warsaw Pact was that many of these “soldiers” were held at gunpoint to fight. Poland has always held Russia in contempt, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them switch ideologies. Same with Hungary, and given the threat of annihilation, Yugoslavia would have sided with the NATO powers in the post-Tito era. You could argue slightly the same with regards to some NATO, but nobody in the West really wanted less personal freedoms. Also, the wildcard being China, it would have drained Soviet resources in the southeast.

Warsaw pact was always considered to be a buffer zone or a meat shield for the USSR. After the cold war ended and the documents were declassified, the only "offensive plans" they ever found out was the plan to take over west germany after warsaw pact territory was nuked by the west. The soviets probably didn't even care about the baltic states. In 1990, the soviets allowed reunification of germany in exchange for NATO's promise not to expand. Instead NATO expanded to all warsaw pact states, even 3 former SSRs and is on now russia's borders. And now NATO claims that such a promise was never made despite thousands of documents and even recordings being available.

In South Korea vs China, it's concluded that China couldn't take South Korea by amphibious force alone. Japan is over 3 times larger in both land area and population than South Korea, it has stronger industries, and is geographically isolated from the rest of Asia. I think this kind of war will be a draw, neither side could invade each other.

Fenris Wolf At least for Binkov's scenario, a country must destroy a significant part of each other's forces or gain strategic piece of land in order to be a victor. In China vs USA video, China lost because its navy is wiped out, but it doesn't lose any land. And even that cost USA a lot, it's extremely unlikely Japan could build up their force large enough to pull off the same feat.

Alternate History scenario: April/May 1945, war breaks out between the Western Allies and Soviet Union. Could the Western armies match up to the numerically superior Soviets? Could the Soviets endure, logistically or otherwise, a new war against the well supplied and airpower heavy Western Allies? With or without use of the atomic bomb did the West stand a chance in a war against the Soviets?

Realistically the Soviets would 100% be facing Nuclear Bombardment, and a two front war. China is far from fully unified, but with a global war against Russia spinning up the Nationalists would seize the chance to fight Mao's forces, but with the massive Soviet forces deployed against Japan in 45, there's no question it'd be a proper fight, though British CBI units could be deployed to join in a fairly short period of time. Navally the Soviets would be entirely boxed in. Now Anyone who tells you it'd be an easy victory for either side is a liar. Realistically the US would have only a handful of nuclear weapons to use within a year, having literally none left after Japan's surrender. But as they were produced they would be used. And with no counter measure there's little Russia could do.

Since all of this video presupposes a straight numbers game. I'll throw one number out there to start. All military planners in the modern era state that a numerical superiority of 3-1 is necessary to achieve victory by an offensive force. Using your numbers the Soviet Union would fall short of those numbers from the start of the war. You used km advanced in for the Soviet Army from WWII. This is spurious and ignores the effectiveness of Soviet forces contemporaneous to this time period. Soviet effectiveness in Afghanistan during the 1980 war resulted in massive casualties on the part of the Soviets; against an enemy much weaker than and less capable than NATO forces. Soviet conscripts (in Afghanistan) had shown themselves to be much less effective than NATO reservists and US National Guard (in Iraq). NATO forces trashed Iraq in 1991. Iraq had been liberally supplied and trained by the Soviets. The primary gun of NATO tanks was still the 105 mm. The Israelis had used said weapon system in 1982 and reported kills on T-72s at ranges approaching 2 miles; it is unlikely that even frontline T-80s would have fared much better. (An Israeli kill requires a brew up which is a much higher standard than real life operations requires) Your numbers also ignores a really important number. Operational Readiness. I spent the early part of my adulthood in the US military eye ball to eye ball with the Soviet military. In my career I seldom saw the Soviets able to maintain better than 50% OR for an extended time. Some frontline units could maintain 75% OR for very short periods of time. By contrast US Army commanders could get relieved of command if they had less than 90% OR. The standard was 95% OR. I am talking about the late 1980s to mid-2000s. I don't know what the standards were before or after. In 1989 the Soviets would have been facing the US Army the best army in the world at the time (bar none). The Soviet loss rates would have been horrendous. Any US Brigade could obliterate a Soviet division in short order in 1989 in a straight fight. But it would not have been a straight up fight. In 1989, US artillery would have used Block-I GPS satellites and counter battery radars to nullify much of the Soviet numbers in artillery. Plus much of the NATO artillery was better protected SP guns. NATO air forces had a higher percentage of new fighters with all weather and night time capabilities. Soviet air forces lacked all weather capabilities and had less capable night fighting abilities. Since the embarrassments of the 1967 and 1973 Arab-Israeli Wars the NATO air forces had done extensive research on how to defeat Soviet SAMs. The First Gulf War is ample proof of their improvement in this area. Even if the Soviet frontline forces had 75% of their SAM systems operational it is quite likely they would have lacked the effectiveness they had had in those earlier wars. Large numbers of NATO aircraft were designated and crews trained for deep interdiction missions that would have made resupplying and maneuvering first and second echelon Soviet formations difficult to impossible let alone the follow up forces in the third and fourth echelons. As to the comments about reactive armor making Soviet tanks equal to NATO tanks...that's laughable. An APFSDSDU (aka the silver bullet) from a 105 mm doesn't even notice reactive armor (reactive armor has little to no effect vs kinetic perpetrators). If all NATO tanks fired HEAT this comment might have been believable but they didn't in 1989 anymore than they do now. It is highly unlikely, given the constraints used by Binkov, that the Soviets could have overrun Frankfurt let alone Bonn. Within a month of the Soviets pulling the trigger they would have been back on their start lines having lost as much as 50% to 75% of their tanks and IFVs, 75% to 85% of their air forces, 50% to 75% of their artillery, and likely 20% to 25% of their Infantry. NATO losses would have been around 20% to 25% in tanks and IFVs, 30% to 35% in the air forces, and 20% to 25% in infantry. NATO was formed to defend its borders through defense in depth and counter offensive. Most NATO losses would occur during offensive operations, but the Soviets would already have taken massive losses and would have been incapable of putting up an effective defense in Germany. NATO would have stopped offensive operations once the borders were secure. There was no NATO mandate to go on the strategic offensive. That would have been unnecessary. Special Forces operating in the Eastern Block countries would have trained freedom fighters (probably most effective in Poland and East Germany) that would have had great successes against the retreating Soviets (a la Afghanistan). The fall of the Soviet Union would have likely occurred in late 1989 or early 1990 instead of in 1991 as the Russian people would have had little to fear from a thoroughly defeated Red Army.

Generally pretty good analysis. A few points: - Yes the Sovs had more artillery, but NATO's artillery was significantly superior qualitatively. Not quite the disparity you mention. - By the 1980s - and certainly by 1989, there was (on both sides) a much higher usage of Precision Guided Munitions - such as long range anti tank guided weapons. This very much favours the defenders - another big advantage for NATO. - nuclear weapons change things somewhat. Sov doctrine appears to have been to use nukes without restraint across the board. They simply saw tactical nukes as more effective artillery, and didn't appear to have NATO's taboo around using them. The Sov doctrine was to fight a nuclear war - and win. - the main point, the Sovs were never really an expansionist power. They had ambitions (mostly thwarted) of expanding communism through peaceful means. They kept Eastern Europe after WWII because they needed a buffer, and had such high military spending (which eventually ruined them economically) because they were scared of us.

Aliens win. No contest. Exactly how they win depends a bit on their level of advancement and goal. It is reasonable to assume that they don't care about preserving the ecosystem as a sufficiently advanced civilization would mostly just see a planet as a raw materials for artificial habitats (they probably care about harvesting the rock and metal, not the animals or vegetation), in which case they would just sterilize the surface with an assortment of weapons. Some of the most fascinating weapons they might use to destroy us are the RKM (Relativistic Kill Missile, a solid object traveling at a substantial fraction of the speed of light so that it carries more power in raw kinetic energy than any chemical explosive warhead could ever provide, this thing is a continent killer. Side not: the technology for an RKM is available automatically upon developing ships capable of conducting interstellar travel in reasonable time-frames, as such it is one of the few weapons that we can absolutely guarantee every interstellar civilization will have available to them), a matter-antimatter bomb (releases 100% of the mass-energy of the reactants, is the most efficient bomb that is theoretically possible, also a continent killer), and last but certainly not least *drum-roll* the Nicoll Dyson Beam (this is essentially where you turn your entire sun into a giant Death Star with enough range and power to roast any planet in the galaxy from the comfort of your own solar system). Our own weapons would do little good against them. If they are taking pot shots from their home solar system then we have nothing that can reach them. If they have traveled here from a distant solar system then they automatically have incredible active defense technology (when you are traveling at 20% of light speed a single grain of interstellar dust packs as much punch as a small nuke, so you either develop active defense lasers that can detect and destroy targets the size of a grain of sand from light seconds away while they are approaching at 1/5th the speed of light, or you develop armor that can withstand the impact of a nuclear blast), meaning none of our nukes could even touch them. There are defensive countermeasures for all of their weapons of course (a planet sized shield to block out the Nicoll Dyson Beam for example). But those countermeasures require technology on par with the weapons being countered, and these scenarios usually assume modern humans against Aliens with interstellar travel. On the other hand maybe this scenario takes place a few hundred years in the future, and it is the humans who have developed interstellar travel and the aliens who are a low level industrial civilization defending their home world. In that case the humans would win, no contest.

Und als ich 93 EF eingerückt bin, war die Chose gegessen und jeder hat nur noch vom Jugo-Krieg gesprochen. Mir fiel natürlich auf, dass wir ausschließlich Angriffsverfahren Ost geübt haben, da gab es auch seitenweise Material zu lernen. Für Angriffsverfahren West gab es gerade mal ... was? 5 Seiten? Trotzdem gab es auch "Feste Anlagen" in Westösterreich. Verzögern und unpassierbar machen, war wohl die Devise. Es war auch ein offenes Geheimnis, dass der CIA eine Standleitung in die Goldhaube hatte. Ob die Russen auch eine hatten, habe ich nie erfahren. Keine Angst, ich wollte eigentlich nur wissen, ob du eine Ahnung hast, wovon du redest. Aber eines ist sicher und das können wir, glaube ich, außer Streit stellen. Wäre es zum Krieg gekommen - egal, wer gewonnen hätte (falls man dann noch von einem Sieg sprechen kann) - für uns wäre es in jedem Fall schlecht ausgegangen. Nix Thermenland. Nuclear Wasteland.

It also would be the where most if not all Italian troops rushing across Austria would go. French territory is also closest to the Soviet Union through Bavaria so the French, who never liked to be ordered around by NATO, would probably send most of their troops to Bavaria as well and the so the Soviet advance would be smallest in Bavaria. They might reach Nuremberg but they wouldn't get very close to Munich after meeting most of the Italian and French armies, plus some Germans, in easily defendable terrain without air superiority

Don't Chile, Peru, and Bolivia have some sort of border dispute? Just curious, as I'm assuming you're from Chile.

Nivajoe Yeah. Chile and Peru recently settled a controversial maritime dispitue while Bolivia has now taken Chile to the International Court, alleging that Chile unfairly took its territory during the War of the Pacific (1879-1883) and cut it off from the Pacific Ocean. The thing is that Bolivia recognized its defeat and signed a treaty, along with Peru, which recognized their defeat and the loss of territory to Chile. Ever since, relations between Chile with Peru and Bolivia have been tense and Chile and Peru are currently in a bit of an arms race with one another.

Interesting. Although it is my understanding Chile is the strongest of the three, and more likely to be backed by the US for economical reasons. I'm sure Chile will come out on top.

Well I live in Western WA. No one says Ft. Lewis (JBLM) is near Seattle. It has always been associated with Tacoma.
