Svitan about mobilization in Russia / Getty Images Vladimir Putin may indeed announce total mobilization after the elections in Russia. However, there is a question whether it is advisable for them to take such a step. Roman Svitan, a military expert, instructor pilot and reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, told Channel 24 about this, noting that Russia already lacks a certain number of military personnel. By spring this deficit will grow. As Svitan noted, Putin could literally announce a new mobilization the next day after the vote. He is not afraid of a blow to his image, because he will have several years before the next elections. There is a possibility that Putin will announce mobilization. But what will this give? They can prepare 300 – 350 thousand within a few months. Somewhere until August next year. What equipment to send them on, where to get so much ammunition, what tasks to perform – these issues cannot be solved quickly,” Svitan said. With a new wave of mobilization, Russia will have to make the most of its capabilities and hope for help from its “partners” – China, Iran, North Korea, Belarus, etc. Four countries will try to provide 300 – 350 thousand, which Putin will send to the front. We need at least 3-4 aircraft brigades, long-range weapons in sufficient quantities – and then we will not worry about the number of Russians. We’ll just destroy them as they approach,” Svitan noted. Will Putin begin total mobilization?
