| Russia has been investigating a host of strike and fire concepts for at least a few decades, with one of the first reconnaissance-strike discussions documented in 1984. In terms of terminology and context, Russia’s strike and fire forms are different from those of other nations. The forms under discussion in Russia include radio-electronic-strikes (REU) and radio-electronic-fire strikes (REOU); information-strike and -fire operations (IUO for strike operations, no abbreviation offered for -fire operations); remotely controlled cyber operations (RCW, which appear to be part of information-strikes); navigation strikes; and reconnaissance-strike and -fire complexes (RUK and ROK, respectively). Each is discussed in the paper. |
