World War 3 The Movie Part 7 of 10

World War III is a thought provoking look at an alternate ending of the Cold War. Compiled largely from TV news pictures and military videos from the period, World War III cleverly combines this footage in a convincing manner to give the illussion that what is depicted actually took place.

@BluestyleY Actually, while the Soviet Union had huge numbers, most of them where of low quality conscripts using old equipment without the spare parts to keep them running. On top of that, most of the officers were corrupt, and didn't perform the training exercises required, instead filling out the paperwork as if they had, and calling it good. The Soviet supply line system also required the cannibalization of broken down weapons and machines instead of repair.

@livedarkness1 Looks like it.

so if there's a war in western and eastern europe, what does that mean for the middle east, asia & pacific? What do you reckon Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other western allies will do to help the nato and allied forces? Will china, vietnam and other asian, even middle eastern nations pitch in for the soviet forces?

@BluestyleY Now, let's look at how the Soviets deal with civlians vs. how NATO does so. In Afghanistan and their own home countries, the Soviets would round up dissenters and have them shot. In Saigon, the North Vietnamese culled any and all political dissidents who were unable to escape to the US or Japan. Meanwhile, NATO goes out of its way to avoid killing civilians via the use of smart weaponry and smaller explosives to avoid collateral damage as much as possible.

@BluestyleY In the West, NCO's were professionals who had been trained for the position and did most of the work in terms of leading and running the army, with the officers giving directions. The NCO's are also trained in basic small unit tactics, and have massive levels of experience for their younger officers to fall back on, which allows the NCO's to take over a small unit if the officers are dead or too badly wounded to maintain command.

[KellAnderson]

@BluestyleY In addition to the differences in training, logistics, operational styles, and equipment quality, the West had a professional NCO corps. The Soviets choose NCO's almost at random out of the conscript classes. After four years, the NCO's would be released and go home. This meant officers had to do most of the work, and the loss of an officer was a huge blow.

[KellAnderson]

@BluestyleY While there were fewer troops in the Western armies, they had better training, commanders who actually did their jobs most of the time, far better equipment, combined arms training, and better communications. Because of the smaller numbers, the West concentrated on Force Multipliers.

No doubt about it. That’s a Mig 25.

well... if this would really happen, USSR would clean Western europe of any forces in a matter of days. NATO would only win if it would use tactical nuclear weapons.. you cannot stop such huge ammount of tanks, divisions as USSR had, even in the dying days of the 90's.. But, any propaganda will do right?)) NATO to the rescue.. murdering civilians since 1990.. Latest victim, Libya, tomorrow Syria, Iran.. super freedom right?)) West, be careful .. or you will be toasted by Russia and China!
