Wiki articles cannot cite other Wiki articles to establish sources. There were two citations following this sentence, one is Blitzkrieg. References should be provided if this material is to be retained. The text says "consensus among historians" and "no way similar", which are pretty strong statements.

It is as standard in military books as is the fact that Hitler's first name was Adolf. In answer to the "who?" every historian that has written a work on Soviet deep operations. Who believes this? Why? Why are they wrong? A well-sourced summary of the arguments comparing the two would certainly be in order, but this sentence is not. I'm not taking sides on the factual issue, but "nebulous, so-called" is not NPOV, "not based on" is unsourced, and "popular belief" is unsubstantiated. Anyway, I suspect that this claim is just baseless Soviet propaganda. I find the following sentence surprising "Contrary to popular belief, Soviet deep operations did not copy or share any similarities with the nebulous, so-called "Blitzkrieg" methodology." If such a categorical and sweeping statement is made, perhaps there should be some elaboration about the fundamental differences, if any, between these concepts? And why exactly blitzkrieg is "nebulous"? Also, the connection between German and Russian armored doctrines would be suggested simply by the fact of extensive cooperation between their militaries in late 20s and early 30s on training and officer education. ASWilson 07:20, 15 October 2007 (UTC) Who says that it was unrelated to "nebulous" blitzkrieg? Was the doctrine at all inspired by the success of the Brusilov Offensive? The offensive certainly seems like prototypical deep operations, with synchronized movements by large numbers of troops to exploit multiple gaps and force the whole front into a retreat.
