CAW has proved crucial in many wars and conflicts, both in classic operations-such as in Ukraine-and special operations, counter-insurgency, asymmetric warfare or low-intensity conflicts. Instead of seeing this as the final bankruptcy of tanks, this text argues that a partial solution to the Russian tactical problems can be found in the proper implementation of CAW, being “ the synchronised and simultaneous application of arms to achieve an effect greater than if each element was used separately or sequentially”. In the first weeks of the war, social media were awash with spectacular footage of exploding Russian tanks and armoured vehicles, often after being hit by anti-tank missiles such as the Javelin or NLAW. The poor performance of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine shows once again that high-intensity land operations are incredibly complex undertakings.
