Mass mobilization in Russia is gaining momentum. However, it is unlikely that the aggressor country will be able to significantly change the situation at the front with the help of this “cannon fodder.” . He noted that “mobiks” did not prove themselves in combat. However, they are good at dying or being captured by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Mobics won't change the situation on the front
The only thing these mobilized ones can do is temporarily stop the front and try to stabilize him in order to keep at least the Luhansk and Kherson regions,” Mikhailov noted.
In his opinion, the newly mobilized Russians will not be capable of any offensive actions, at least in the next few months. In addition, unlike the Ukrainian army, the occupying army is not prepared for hostilities in the winter.
“Ukraine has so far had a confident advantage in training personnel and recovering losses if Russia tries to then reduce this advantage, then the West must first of all strengthen Ukraine's advantage in modern weapons, and finally in armored vehicles,” the analyst summed up.
Mobilization in Russia: breaking news
- While Vladimir Putin says that the mobilization in Russia is going according to plan, mass raids have begun in Moscow. Men are handed subpoenas in the metro, in markets and even in hostels.
- Every 10th Russian soldier at the front is now mobilized. Putin said that 16,000 mobilized people had already been sent to the war, which means that more than 40 “mobiks” die every day. Political strategist Mikhail Sheitelman said that funerals had already arrived at some, but Russian military registration and enlistment offices were in no hurry to report on some.
- The Russian president absolutely does not care what will happen to the newly mobilized in Ukraine. So, they are not even provided with everything necessary and the Russians are forced to buy on their own. British intelligence said that partially mobilized Russian fighters should buy body armor themselves.
- Analysts from the Institute for the Study of War suggested that the partial mobilization campaign in Russia could soon pause or end altogether. This is due to the fact that the autumn draft starts in the aggressor country on November 1.
