'Strokes

[edit]

Ok, please explain to me the big difference between wikt:counter-attack, wikt:counteroffensive, wikt:counterstrike and wikt:counterstroke(empty). Here they all link to the same article. The first two can at least be differentiated to scale, but the last two? --Illythr (talk) 08:24, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A counterstroke is a NATO concept of immediate response to an attack at any scale [1]
A counter-attack is a general tactical term, but never the less requires troop preparation before execution.
A counter-offensive is a response that is planned, usually at operational or strategic level of command
A counter-strike is usually used by the air forces to refer to retaliatory missions

Well, as long as it's not a slip of a finger (i and o are right next to each other)... --Illythr (talk) 09:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Point of view

[edit]

This article reads like it was translated verbatim from a poorly written article on the Russian Wikipedia (it probably was). It has a serious NPOV issue, to say the least. Not that it's extremely biased per se, but it completely and utterly lacks an objective "overhead" viewpoint of the operations and needs a massive amount of improvement, possibly including renaming. Also, this is a somewhat notable article as military history articles go and, in my opinion, deserves a lot of attention. I don't even know where to begin and I've had a long day, so all I did was add an NPOV template.
