He used the American Dotmlpf abbreviation system (doctrine, organization, training, technique, management and education, staff and means). The scientist writes that these strengths will not help to compensate the Russian army with great drawbacks. Yes, Wotling stated that the Russian army has major problems with the organization. "The Russian armed forces were created to conduct short but intense wars.
Without complete national mobilization, the potential is too small, its units are lacking in rear, and its equipment is not suitable for a protracted war," the expert wrote. In addition, the scientist identified as a lack of poor quality of "leadership and education". Yes, the culture of leadership in the Russian army is dictatorial and is completely at fear. In addition, corruption affects this system in the Kremlin.
"The fear of punishment created an army in which soldiers will stubbornly obey orders, even if they no longer make sense," the expert said. Votling also wrote that the Russian Federation has serious problems with personnel. This can be seen from a bad guide. Therefore, the Russian army depends largely on the recruits. "In the absence of strong leadership of the troops, they are not largely motivated and do not want to risk their lives for each other," the expert wrote.
"One of the weakest aspects of the country's military system is training. First, it is simply not enough. At the beginning of the war, for example, there were less than 100 fully trained Russian pilots on the border with Ukraine, despite the fact that Russia had at least 317 combat aircraft. Theater of hostilities, "the expert said. According to Votling, the specific preparation of Russian troops makes them inflexible, devoid of situational awareness.
Poor learning greatly complicates mobilization before. Earlier, Focus wrote that in the State Duma of the Russian Federation told about general mobilization, and the European Union had already started threatening Moscow. The State Duma deputy said that the laws on mobilization in the Russian Federation were not adopted specifically for current events. At the same time, the EU is already threatened with strengthening sanctions.
