Questions Putin's capacity: what are the consequences of the raid by Russian volunteers

Since March 12, the operation of Russian volunteers has been ongoing in several border regions of Russia. The enemy is forced to pull up reserves and mobilize forces to counter the onslaught from the Freedom of Russia Legion, the RDK and the Siberian Battalion.

Military expert Pyotr Chernik told 24 channel that the Russians will pull up their forces to the border. They have more than 400 thousand personnel, and they have something to answer. However, the enemy repeats the same mistake: he is not able to react to circumstances in a timely manner.

The struggle between “Kremlin towers”

The Russians have already used bombers and dropped very heavy bombs – FAB-250. At the same time, the fact that hostilities are taking place on Russian territory is an unprecedented phenomenon.

If someone, according to Chernik, at the beginning of this war, in April 2022, had said that in 2 years the fighting would take place on Russian territory, it would have caused homeric laughter – among experts, Russian citizens and their ” elites.”

“This is a revision of Putin’s personality as a capable leader who is capable of defending the territorial and inviolable borders of Russia. In this sense, the struggle between the so-called “Kremlin towers” ​​will gain new momentum “, the military expert suggested.

A slap in the face to Putin

It is important that the longer this operation lasts, the better it will be for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The Russians will definitely transfer some forces and means from the front line to the border with Ukraine.

This means that if a small part of the enemy's personnel and equipment is withdrawn, it will become easier for our defenders at the front. If, conditionally, 300–500 volunteers entered Russian territory, then in order to resist them, the enemy needs to increase its forces three times or even five times – up to approximately 1,500 personnel, he explained.

This number of military personnel is two full-fledged battalion groups, and in one such group there must be at least 33 units of armored combat vehicles. Accordingly, they will be distracted from the front.

“In addition, the very fact that even in a small location, but the presidential elections will be disrupted is important. And this is a colossal image slap in the face to Putin.” , noted Peter Chernik.

Volunteer raid on Russian territory: the main thing

• The Legion “Freedom of Russia”, RDK and the “Siberian Battalion”, which conduct military operations on Russian territory, turned to Vladimir Putin. They called on the head of the Kremlin to think about the Russians in the Belgorod and Kursk regions who are suffering due to active hostilities, and to stop this “circus.” They insist on the evacuation of Russians from these territories.
• Volunteers also announced a massive attack on military targets in Belgorod on March 16 at 17.00. Local publics reported that the promised attack had begun. An air raid alert was announced in Belgorod, and then explosions were heard in the city. Later, a message appeared about the “successful” work of Russian air defense and the alleged shooting down of 15 RM-70 Vampire missiles over the Belgorod region.
• In addition, in the “Freedom of Russia” legion told where the most active battles are taking place. We are talking about the Kursk region, where an active shooting battle continues in the village of Tetkino near the railway station. The Russians also attack with mortars, artillery and even air strikes.
