Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 26. September 2022

Zum andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine der (aus Termingründen knappe) Sammler am 26. September 2022:

• Das britische Intel Update:

The initial tranches of men called up under Russia’s partial mobilisation have started arriving at military bases. Many tens of thousands of call-up papers have already been issued.
Russia will now face an administrative and logistical challenge to provide training for the troops.
Unlike most Western armies, the Russian military provides low-level, initial training to soldiers within their designated operational units, rather than in dedicated training establishments.
Typically, one battalion within each Russian brigade will remain in garrison if the other two deploy and can provide a cadre of instructors to train new recruits or augmentees. However, Russia has deployed many of these third battalions to Ukraine.
Many of the drafted troops will not have had any military experience for some years.
The lack of military trainers, and the haste with which Russia has started the mobilisation, suggests that many of the drafted troops will deploy to the front line with minimal relevant preparation. They are likely to suffer a high attrition rate.
