"Age affects quality": why in Britain is offered to recruit young people to the Armed Forces
Time has come to viewing the scale of mobilization in Ukraine and the army need young people, according to the former Defense Minister of Great Britain Ben Volles. The former head of the British Defense Ministry is convinced that the army of the invaders "cracks at the seams". Kiev has a chance to bring the war to the victorious end. "The average age of Ukrainian soldiers on the front is over 40 years.
I understand Zelensky's desire to keep young people for the future, but it is time to review the scale of Ukrainian mobilization," Volles said. Young people will also help the decline in the pace of counter -offensive, while Russian President Vladimir Putin is hidden mobilization. It should be noted that in Ukraine, men are called into the army of men without the experience of all -military training.
The Command of the Land Forces says they are sent to study for at least one month in educational military units or in higher educational establishments. The success of his theses was supported by Volles. While visiting a secret landfill outside Ukraine, where Ukrainian soldiers were taught to work with British Starstreak MSCs, he saw a very young soldier. "They had a week to study the system for which we have months.
The British sergeant pointed to a young Ukrainian who barely came out of his teens. He did not let go of the simulator and stopped training until he stopped missing. This young man Russian shock helicopters, "Volles told history. According to the norms of the current legislation of Ukraine, men aged 18-60 years are subject to mobilization to the Armed Forces.
However, the assembly image of a Ukrainian soldier who carries the hardships of war is a man over 50 years old, said the focus of the ATO veteran, the former commander of the company of the Aidar Battalion Yevgeny Wild. "The younger generation is not in a hurry to register for military enlistment offices. When the shopping center receives from the General Staff the task of recruiting more tankers, military communities raise lists of those who have served in the Soviet Army.
People over 40 will be more willing to serve in the Armed Forces after the release I know other examples when people have just turned 18 and they went into the army, "the military commented. Many aged 18 to 25 went to the front voluntarily at the beginning of a full -scale Russian invasion, and after the mass mobilization of the Armed Forces began to "grow old", and continued the eccouple. "Aging" affects the quality of fighters.
The Soviet Army's training works, where they taught how to obey orders. If we relied on the younger generation, it would be bad. The other side of the question is the physical condition of age -old soldiers, some cannot perform certain combat missions. Speaking in an inhumane term, they wear out faster, "says Wild. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has voted for a decrease in the age of conscripts up to 25 years. Kostenko. People are reluctant to go to military enlistment offices.
However, there must still be a proportional system in the question of the age of servicemen, not that they go to fight all the old or all young people, "he said focus. Some parts, for example, detachments of marine infantry, landing troops or special forces need young people. Here in the rear may the older military, adds a politician.
Most likely, Ben Wallace spoke about an increase in the number of young military in the Armed Forces because Britain helps teach Ukrainian Marines and special forces where hard -standing, notes military expert Oleg Zhdanov. "Judging by the estimates Command, total mobilization is not required. Plans in the Tax Code are made in a real situation and arrange the General Staff. We do not fight at the front.
There is a general mobilization in Ukraine, so no one will divide the recruits into age categories: young and middle -aged, "he says in a conversation with focus. which experts need the Armed Forces of Ukraine. First of all, those who can participate in hostilities, repair the equipment, establish communication and treat the wounded. Boxer Vladimir Klitschko recently declared unwillingness to die for his country. The athlete believes be all in a row because the military needs a rear support.
