Kiril, I'm fine with any other asessments. Really.
In all such cases, though, I would like to hear the answer to the following question:
Kiril, I'm fine with any other asessments. Really.
In all such cases, though, I would like to hear the answer to the following question:
Lets say Putin now wants to 'flood' Ukraine with say, 200,000? 500,000, 1,000,000 troops: how do you expect him to do so?
VSRF's logistical system inside Ukraine couldn't cope with the deployment of about 150,000 troops so far. It collapsed three-four times by now, while supporting just 1-2 combined arms armies in all-out combat for longer than 3-4 weeks (35th in Kyiv, 41st in Chernihiv, 1st and 20th in Kharkiv, all back in Feb-March, and 1st and 20th now in Kharkiv again).
So, come on: explain me what am I missing?
Sure, this is not exactly what you're trying to say: on the contrary. But, the question still remains: VSRF has to replace about 100,000 kontraktniki that were already shot away (KIA; MIA; WIA, deserters etc.).
How shall it do so - mobilisation or not?
