'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.

Battle of Hanko (1941)

[edit]

The defense of the Hanko Naval Base is listed as an operational part of the Baltic operation. Is that true, though? The base is situated on a Finnish peninsular so it is geographically separated from the other events described here. The article on the battle also describes it as part of the Continuation War rather than as part of Barbarossa or the Baltic operation. Also, as far as I can see, no German forces were involved at hanko, only Finnish. So what would be the rationale to include it here? Is there a good source that regards it as part of the Baltic operation? Proofreader (talk) 13:21, 27 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
