About 30 thousand recruits are filled in losses and reserve regiments, said a representative of the GUR Defense, Major General Vadim Skibitsky, said on January 15. The Russians go to war to Ukraine because of money: for crisis regions with lack of jobs and often extremely low earnings are in order of things. Many Russian prisoners of war are openly confessing that they went into the army because they pay there, and it "mortgage, family, etc. ", emphasizes the intelligence representative.
The level of salaries in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is different: it all depends on the location of the unit and its participation in hostilities. The day on the first line of collision-plus 8 thousand rubles for salary, a month really earn 220-250 thousand rubles. In addition to continuous recruitment into the army, Moscow has transferred defense-industrial enterprises to military rails. Some businesses work in three shifts, many Russians work at MIC plants.
"The main effort is focused on the restoration of equipment that was damaged on the battlefield. Another issue is the restoration, preparation for combat use hostilities to Ukraine, ”says GUR representative. The third task is to make new weapons, especially artillery systems, tanks, APC, BMP, ammunition and missiles. Everything that is produced in Russia today goes to the front, specified in Ukrainian intelligence.
The human resource in Ukraine is much smaller than in Russia, so competing with the invaders according to their criteria will not work. Kiev needs to fight skills and technologies: high -precision weapons and intelligence, says the focus of the reserve colonel, the expector of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Vladislav Seleznev. The losses of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine should block the enemy's ability to receive an additional mobilization resource.
In order to achieve this result, everything that the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny wrote in the article for the Economist in November 2023 wrote. The first point in the head of the head is the air component, which includes not only modern Western fighters, but also drones. The extension of human reserves is given to the last priority.
The possibilities of training of the military in Ukraine are also limited: there is always the risk of strikes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on training centers. According to Seleznov, Ukraine's main problem is to suspend military needs because of a conflict in the US Congress between Democrats and Republicans. "The Armed Forces protect the European continent, there is an understanding of military needs in the West.
But how quickly this understanding will turn into real steps, it is difficult to predict. Russia will spend 120 billion dollars in the war in 2024. How much we get from partners is unknown," Military expert. The war in Ukraine continues due to unlimited reserves of money in the Russian Federation from the sale of oil and gas. The mechanisms of detouring Western sanctions open the Kremlin access to trade and purchase of other goods, including dual -use.
Having a tremendous flow of money, ride in disadvantaged regions and recruit people to the front is not a problem for the Russian command. In addition, the Russian Federation did not abolish the recruitment of prisoners, the Deputy Director of the Center for Army Research, Conversion and Disarmament Mikhail Samus said.
"If the states were strategically approaching the issue of Russia's destruction, the conditions for which the Russian Federation would have been deprived of surpluses would have been created in the oil market," the expert said in a conversation with focus. India and China, as Samus says, redeem up to 90% of Russian oil. Hence the opportunity to pay the occupiers the same 220-250 thousand rubles.
"Where is the logic? The event promises us indefinite support, but allows Moscow to earn hundreds of billions of dollars on oil export? Mathematically simple task - calculate the revenues of the Russian Federation for war and compare this amount with the amount of assistance to Ukraine," he adds. The appropriate increase in mobilization in Ukraine will be an ineffective measure.
It is better to think not how to recruit millions of soldiers in the Armed Forces, but how to properly direct the forces to win the battlefield. In the rotation and in the formation of units with high -tech means of lesions, a systematic approach should be applied, summarized. Recall that British scouts have previously suggested that the Russian Federation for war in Ukraine recruits men from poor and rural regional communities.
