<P> In the late 1920s and throughout the 1930s , Soviet military theoreticians led by Marshal Mikhail Tukhachevsky developed the deep operations doctrine , a direct consequence of their Polish - Soviet War and Russian Civil War experiences . To achieve victory , deep operations envisage simultaneous corps - and army - size unit maneuvers of simultaneous parallel attacks throughout the depth of the enemy 's ground forces , inducing catastrophic defensive failure . The deep battle doctrine relies upon aviation and armor advances in the hope that maneuver warfare offers quick , efficient , and decisive victory . Marshal Tukhachevsky said that aerial warfare must be `` employed against targets beyond the range of infantry , artillery , and other arms . For maximum tactical effect aircraft should be employed en masse , concentrated in time and space , against targets of the highest tactical importance . '' </P>
