The Armed Forces lost positions in the east through the newly mobilized: in the media told about the main problems
Ukrainian commanders said that some recruits allegedly refuse to shoot the enemy, others are difficult to coordinate their combat movements, while some still leave the battlefield. "Some people do not want to shoot. They see the enemy in a fire position in the trenches, but they do not open fire. . . . So our men die," said the Ukrainian commander of the 47th Brigade Battalion. He stressed that such fighters are ineffective when they do not use weapons.
In addition, the commanders noted that the recruits contributed to certain territorial losses, including near Pokrovsk. Yes, the newly mobilized fighters lack even a minimum level of training, the commanders and soldiers of four brigades, who defended the Pokrovsky direction, emphasized. Yes, the command has to plan infantry operations that cannot shoot at targets and does not know basic topography.
At the front, servicemen "disappointed" with the quality of new recruits who were sent by the shopping center, so commanders want to carry out their own mobilization to better select and train new fighters. "The main problem is the instinct for the survival of recruits. Earlier, people could stand until the last moment. Now, even when there are light fires of fire positions, they retreat," said the military from the 110th brigade. However, there are also motivated people, but there are not enough.
Some commanders accuse newly mobilized losses. However, according to Viktor Kevlyuk, the military expert of the Analytical Organization "Center for Defense Strategies", the preparation of recruits is adequate. Whereas team commanders only "look for explanations of tactical failures. " "Similarly, the brigade commander has the appropriate tools for moral influence. If all these processes are established in the brigade, then there will be no significant problems.
If these mechanisms are failed, we read about the negative on social networks," he explained. The commander of one of the battalions noted that newly mobilized men do not receive "even the lowest level of training needed for our (combat, ed. ) In particular, they do not have enough firing practice, have not learned to coordinate combat missions in small groups or use even simple tactics.
"I would like to give orders to small (infantry) groups, but I am not sure if they are able to comply with these orders because they lack coordination and communication," he added. At the time of publishing the material of the Armed Forces Command, the Armed Forces did not officially comment on journalists.
We will remind, the chairman of the Committee of National Security, Defense and Intelligence Alexander Zaitnevich informed that in Ukraine will expand the circle of prisoners of prisoners, who will receive a deferral from the call. These are those whose close relatives have died or disappeared while participating in hostilities. On August 19, the media said that a week of citizens who were reserved from the call would reach a million people.
