| Nov 20, 2019 at 8:46 | comment | added | ratschbumm | @Alexander I would say that "битвы" themselves are completely gone from today military practice. This is very good, as for me. Nevertheless, a need to describe events of past (and to understand described) still persists. In addition, meaning of "бой" is defined by military guides, for example in "Боевой устав сухопутных войск". | |
