"Losses much less than 100 thousand": why the Armed Forces constantly need infantry

The military-political leadership of Ukraine states that 880,000 people serve in the Armed Forces. In this case, the infantry is in dire need of specialists, and the people's deputies talk about the low level of loss. Focus found out how vacancies in the army are distributed and why infantrymen are looking for. Centers of training of specialists for the Armed Forces of Ukraine promise to prepare any number of mobilized.

The problem will not even study 500,000 recruits, which in December 2023 was stated by the authorities. Only 20% of the military prepared abroad, the rest were trained at Ukrainian landfills, providing statistics by the commander of the preparation of the Armed Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Viktor Nikolyuk. Preparation programs were reduced in wartime.

The main focus of the instructors is on the practical component: fire training, shooting in limited space and psychological training for participation in fireflies. After the basic course of the fighter is prepared in military units in the specialty chosen. At least 2-3 weeks or even a month of all soldiers are prepared for combat missions. Despite such a high level of preparation, the infantry of the Armed Forces is in dire need of specialists.

Commander Viktor Nikolyuk says that the priority remains the assault for attacks and the holding of the recruited positions. Vacancies of the infantry homiers have long been available on Ukrainian sites to find work. The applicant will be actively involved in hostilities and performing various tasks. The salary is promised up to 100 thousand hryvnias. The constant need for army units in the infantry makes you think about the level of loss.

This information has been classified since the beginning of a full -scale war with Russia. The head of the "Servant of the People" faction, David Arahamia, previously suggested to President Vladimir Zelensky to disclose this data. Then Ukrainians will trust the mobilization process and get rid of fears, he is sure. "When you go the street and ask people about the loss, I have never heard less than 100,000. And our losses are much smaller," Arahamia said.

The head of state said that 880 thousand people are now serving in the Ukrainian army, but the level of losses did not specify. Another 30 million Ukrainians work in the rear and help the military. Despite such significant figures of personnel, you need to look at the needs of staff in specific crews or battalions based on the staffing, explains the focus of the veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the reserve Major of the Armed Forces Alexei Hetman.

"First of all, the infantry is fighting and naturally suffered. Positions in the rear sector and providing do not require participation in the battles, so such military and retirement. A significant level of infantry losses is not a secret. But there are other units. There are small losses, they need less people, "he says. There are not enough experts in the intendant units that manage the work of food, material and business supply.

According to military expert, Alexei Hetman, they are also needed by the Armed Forces, but they do almost without loss. Platoons or air intelligence compartments also bear less loss than infantry. "Battalions or brigades need to be completed constantly. Those who are fighting in Avdiivka and Marinka need a rest, here they are changed. It is important to replenish the composition, the enemy does not fall. complementing, "the hetman said.

According to Major General, the former Deputy Chairman of the SBU Victor Yagun, the infantrymen have always lacked any fighting army. In Ukraine there is a full -scale war and the offensive of the aggressor has to be reflected in many areas of the front. If the conscript wants to choose another military work that is close to his professional skills on a citizen, it is better for him to undergo a recruitment procedure. It is necessary to elect a unit and sign a contract with it.

"Mobilization involves the call first. Yugan says that on average, 50 seats in the infantry are on an average of an IT specialist. And not all of the Itichni will take this job, someone needs infantry. "This plus recruitment: a person decides for himself where he will be in demand. Maybe he is a good driver, disassembled in engines. But shooting remains the basic skill ", - summarizes Yugan.

We will remind, in the British intelligence earlier reported that troops of the Russian Federation are largely relied on on units "Storm-Z" during the offensive. From the spring of last year, these troops have been transformed into a penalty, which serve convicts and personnel military who received disciplinary penalties. Analysts from the American Institute of War Study emphasized the impossibility of Russian offensive in Ukraine due to lack of infantry.
