Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Penetration is a term in warfare referring to the breaching of, and moving past, a defensive military line. The term is associated with both ground and aerial combat. Penetration is a strategic military maneuver much like the Pincer maneuver with a few differences. The Penetration Attack goes straight through the enemy's flanks, and once through, each flank turns and attacks the opponent's rear, similar to the Blitzkrieg strategy. The penetration is carried out as part of the frontal attack when there is no assailable flank available. It takes the form of assaulting the enemy positions, creating a rupture, widening of the gap and finally breakthrough. Separate forces are earmarked for the assault and break-out stages of penetration. Penetration has the stages of break in, dog fight and break-out. There are no clear cut demarcations between these stages and these tend to overlap. Flank attack and other forms of maneuver are preferred to the penetration or frontal attack.
