Reply to comment by cgmcnama in Russia to withdraw troops from key city of Kherson by NINETY_LIVES
During WW2, when the Soviets pulled out of Kiev/Kyiv, they rigged buildings to explode when the Germans moved in to occupy the city. So it’s reasonable to suspect a trap.

And their tactics haven’t moved on much since the 1940s so yeah…

Soviet/RF battle doctrines:
Sustained artillery bombardment first. Flatten everything before the advance.
Armour goes in next. Flatten everything.
Troops go in to secure . Rape what you can, loot the rest, then get positions ready for artillery to move up from the rear.
A tactic unchanged from the 1940s.

Their equipment hasn't changed much either, apparently.
