An entire Russian tank battalion conducting an attack against a defending enemy.
What enemy?
Probably just a training exercise.
Title was confusing...

You don't seem to be understanding the terminology. Let me explain it for you: "Attack against a defending enemy" is a term in Soviet/Russian military language to describe [i]a type of offensive action[/i]. It's not used in the context of something like "they are attacking the enemy", but a precise military term.

[quote]Soviet military art defines three basic types of tactical offensive action, distinguished by the enemy situation. If the Soviets are attacking and the other side is defending, it is an [B]attack against a defending enemy[/B]. If both sides are advancing and trying to attack, it is a [B]meeting battle[/B]. If the enemy is trying to retreat and the Soviets are attacking, it is a [B]pursuit[/B]. In all cases, the method of launching an attack must ensure concealment of its preparation and the delivery of surprise and powerful strikes against the enemy.[/quote]

if the Russians are retreating and the enemy is in pursuit, is it called "Shit scared"?
