| President Vladimir Putin Announces Mobilization Of Hundreds Of Thousands Of Soldiers To Join The Fight |
Moskow - Russia's war situation with Ukraine is increasingly tense to this day. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the partial mobilization of the Russian military and summoned military reserves in a significant escalation of his war in Ukraine.
Putin announces military mobilization! From midnight on Wednesday (21), all men between the ages of 18 and 65 will be barred from leaving Russia, pending military service at any time.
General Sergei Shoigu announced that Russia has a potential mobilization capacity of 25 million people, but this time only 300,000 followers have been mobilized, including those who have served in the military, graduates of military statistics, and those with combat experience.
However, it is not yet possible to mobilize students to fight. The task of these 300,000 reserves was to control 1,000 kilometers of fronts and areas now controlled by the Russian army.
At the same time, General Shoigu announced: The Russian-Ukrainian special military operations are very difficult, and the Russian army is honorably carrying out combat duties. Shoigu also made the rare announcement that in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, the Russian armed forces lost 5,937 men, but had eliminated half of the Ukrainian army, of which 61207 were killed and 49368 injured.
Judging from Shoigu's announcement, the total loss of the Russian army should be around 15,000 people, plus the wounded and captured. If we add that about 20,000 casualties reported by open sources, the loss of the Russian coalition forces is about 35,000, excluding the Chechen and Wagner mercenary groups.
At the same time, Putin ordered that the Russian military industry should achieve 100% localization and could no longer rely on foreign spare parts to get stuck in the neck! Putin also demanded that Russia's military industry make every effort to increase production and shorten production times without affecting the quality of weapons and equipment.
Starting September 23, Russian-controlled areas such as Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson will be merged into Russia. This means that territorial negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will completely fail and will not stop until one of the parties is defeated. Which is a direct sign that Russia is going to war.
Conscripts and reservists can go to war on the grounds that their domestic territory has been invaded. Russia will expand the scale of the war. However, partial mobilization has no direct impact on the outcome of the battle, and requires a certain amount of time from recruiting, training, weaponizing, and distributing soldiers.
At the same time, this is 2022, not 1942, and these reserves must also have training and equipment in informatization, long-range precision strikes, and defense against enemy long-range attacks. For the mobilization of Russia, Dr. Mike Martin, a visiting researcher in the Department of War Studies at King's College London, said it would take at least 6 months for the Russians to convert civilians into soldiers, and this would not solve their weapons and equipment problems, or their logistics problems.
US National Security Adviser Jack Sullivan said Putin's "mobilization measures" were indicative of Ukraine's recent successes on the battlefield.
However, just a day before Putin announced the mobilization, Russian state television said that it invited Strekov to participate in a TV program, the main content of which was to interpret Putin's TV speech, which required special attention.
Now, more and more, the Russo-Ukrainian war is starting to show its true ruthless face, the war has its own logic, once launched, its operations have exceeded the subjective will of the participants.
And by looking at both sides I don't think anyone would give up so easily. But in any case, it is undeniable that the Russian army is now facing a serious shortage of troops on the battlefield as well as equipment. It can be said that the pre-reserve is a reluctance.
The Ukrainian army's time window is currently only 3-6 months, and a few months later, hundreds of thousands of Russian reservists will enter the battlefield. Basically it is very difficult for the Ukrainian army to launch a counterattack that takes advantage of the vacuum.
And with the announcement of mobilization by the Russian military, it can be expected that in the future, the number of countries joining NATO will increase, and the number of countries pursuing nuclear weapons will also increase. However, Russia's military mobilization is still a bit late, and should actually be mobilized when the attack on the Donbass is focused on April.
perfect, how long the reserve was collected, how long it needed to be trained, what equipment to hold, how long the will can be kept, where the reservist came from, and what logistical guarantees had to be completed.
