Haha! Changing topic. Why does “the second army in the world” need to perform mobilization and other bullshit like Prigozhin’s prison recruitments with such ratios and 10 to 1 artillery?
All armies perform mobilization in war. Even in the USA. I hear ukes are up well over ten rounds of mobilization👍
Russia keeps active forces in far flung parts of the country, easier to take in reservists than relocate and leave an open flank. Russia is like really big ya know?
Whats wrong with putting convicts to work? Giving them a second chance? That’s old school stuff nothing new there.
They are “grinding” the ukes manpower down. It’s a very conservative risk adverse approach. Sit back with artillery and fire. Taking land and offensives exposes men to risk. Land can be won back later, human life cannot.
This was their strategy when they tried to take Kyiv, was it? Pretend to take land as a feint, and then fall back very rapidly in order to fight a war of attrition?
