Russia has a large reserve of manpower/Defense Express
According to British intelligence, Russia is deploying new reserve forces in Ukraine. If earlier in offensives, the Russians used no more than 2 battalions, now the third battalions are being deployed, understaffed and often with zero experience.
Military expert Vladislav Seleznev told Channel 24 about this. He also noted that now 103 battalion-tactical groups of the enemy are operating on the territory of Ukraine, within 40 such groups the infidels are kept in reserve, because they are no longer combat-ready.
“What is happening now is a certain restoration and replenishment of the enemy's resources. As for the specifics, the Russian army is not ready under any circumstances for such a bloody and large-scale confrontation,” the military expert explains.
According to him, in units or regiments of the Russian army, the first battalions were motivated and equipped. If we are talking about the third battalions, then basically these were the military who were responsible for the safety of equipment, Seleznev adds.
Now the aggressor country has felt that it is not capable of fulfilling the task with the declared forces, the expert says, which is why it is trying to fill the third battalions with personnel.
this fact cannot be ruled out. After all, the so-called “hidden mobilization” on the territory of Russia gives its consequences, – the expert explains.
Subsequently, we can expect that these reserves, which the infidels are now accumulating, will be thrown into battles, adds Vladislav Seleznev.
“However, we should not forget how our defenders skillfully destroy the regular Russian military, so mobilized invaders without experience will live on our land for a long time. But this is only possible if we receive Western weapons in sufficient quantities,” the expert concludes.< /p>“Hot” direction of Severodonetsk – latest news
