The Russian army is suffering crazy losses in the war with Ukraine, both in personnel and in military equipment. No wonder the enemy wants to increase the size of his army.
The US reaction to Putin's attempts to increase the size of the army
By the way, The Russian Defense Ministry has decided to increase the number of its armed forces by 2,039,758 units. The US reacted to this statement. In particular, the official of the country's defense department says that the Russian recruitment market “is unlikely to succeed.”
The United States believes that the Russian president's order to increase the size of the armed forces “is unlikely to succeed, since Russia has historically failed to meet the target levels of the number of personnel.”
The official added that even if Russia manages to muster any additional personnel before the end of the year, this will not increase its overall combat strength. The fact is that Russia has taken irrational measures to increase recruitment, such as the abolition of the upper age limit for recruits, as well as the recruitment of prisoners.
Many of these recruits were recognized as senior , unfit and poorly trained,” he noted.
