Warfare-: -knockout- Classified-- The Reverse Art Of Tank
That is not a tactical victory. That is a knockout.
The enemy has trained to fight tanks. He has not trained to fight absence . He has not trained to fight a 50-ton vehicle that hides in the sound of rain. -KNOCKOUT- CLASSIFIED-- The Reverse Art Of Tank Warfare-
Crews operate the tank with all optics taped over. They navigate using only the sound of tracks on asphalt versus dirt. They learn to "feel" the terrain. A Reverse tanker does not need to see the enemy; he needs to feel the enemy's vibration . That is not a tactical victory
Once blinded, the enemy tank will reverse. That is instinct. And a reverse-moving tank exposes its front lower glacis to your hidden wingman who is positioned 90 degrees to your left. He has not trained to fight absence
For a century, the tank has been worshipped as the god of the modern battlefield. Military doctrine, from the Blitzkrieg to Desert Storm, has been built around one central thesis: He who controls the heavy armor, controls the terrain. The art of tank warfare, as taught at every war college from Fort Moore to the Kubinka Tank Academy, is the art of mass, momentum, and firepower.
The enemy could not calculate the firing solution because no valid firing position existed on any map. Quiet was not on a map. Quiet was a hole in the logic of warfare. You cannot train a Reverse Tanker in a simulator. Simulators assume a rational battlefield. The Reverse Art is irrational.
