11th Army (Russian Empire)

The Russian 11th Army was a World War I Russian field army that fought on the Eastern theatre of war.

Field management was established in October 1914. The unit fought on the Southwestern Front during the entire war. ^{[ citation needed ]} Its attempt to seize the Austrian-held fortress of Przemyśl in October 1914 failed, in part due to a lack of heavy artillery, and led to a siege that lasted until March 1915. ^{[1] [2]}
