Time is on the side of Russia in Ukraine special military operations. That is because, the concept of sigma security was well thought of and well designed to prosecute Ukr war for a long period of time. What is sigma security? Here is my strategy analysis:
No country can enter into mil operations without doing the war planning taking into count summation of military assets, deployment programme, and replenishment of expected equipment losses and depletion of manpower as well as tweaking strategy and tactics depending on theatre characteristics. However, this is only one side of the story. The other side is the non-military resources and related security as regards to these. Enters sigma security:
Ranking number one is food security. Sufficient quantity of water, grains, sea food in ready to consume form must be made available to the soldiers in the frontline and the citizens at large. Russia can delve deep into her stockpile that can last for several years to come, unless the country is devastated by a nuclear arsenal, which is of course the most unlikely event. In passing, I must say Russia is the commodity superpower compared to Ukraine and her allies.
Second placed item in the sigma security is energy. Summation of fuel, gas and coal reserves of Russia is much larger than all of her direct and indirect enemies put together who are involved in the Ukraine theatre. That said, their attrition rate is much higher because the population in these countries is, in conservative estimates, to be six times more than that of Russia.
Healthcare is next in agenda. Russia can marshal quickly facilities and personnel in any critical situation the country could face. Even they have built underground bunkers to treat civilians who fall sick or soldiers who are injured in operations.
Transportation is given high rating in sigma security. Availability of resources is one side of the coin while transporting these to the point of need is another. Russian internal management moves in pin point accuracy. Railways, land vehicles, transport planes and underground tubes along with littoral naval vessels have the ability to get the goods across several parts of the country as well as to the frontline.
For trading of goods, essentials and other consumer items are stocked plentifully in supermarkets and malls throughout Russia. Significantly there is no such thing as panic buying in Russia proper or even in the Donbass area where the fighting is intense.
Last building block in the sigma security is finance. Nobody can exactly find the war chest Russia possesses. Before commencing ops Russia went on for a buying spree to increase her gold holdings by routing global sources that supplements the goal that is minted domestically. Putin did a marvellous strategy move as he was being blocked off from international currency market he got the Ruble strengthened and as a welfare strategy ordered payments of salaries and pensions be indexed to the Inflation rate, which shot up to almost 17% initially and now hovering around 12% and expected to go down further.
What is more, the financial muscle is now strengthened and trade surplus after special military operations is all-time high as current account surplus exceeded 58 Billion US Dollars. Cumulatively speaking, this means the sigma security outlasts the current Ukr ops and the expected foray into Baltic sooner than later!
