Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 5. November 2022

Zum andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine der Sammler am 5. November 2022:

• Nach langem Leugnen hat Iran die Lieferung von Drohnen an Russland zugegeben (die unbemannten Flugsysteme waren schon seit Wochen als Waffe der russischen Streitkräfte in der Ukraine nachgewiesen worden, vor allem für Angriffe auf zivile Ziele). Allerdings habe das Land das Gerät vor dem Beginn des derzeitigen Angriffskrieges geliefert, berichtet die iranische Nachrichtenagentur IRNA:

Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran Hossein Amirabdollahian has emphasized that Tehran had delivered drones to Russia months prior to the Ukraine conflict.
The head of diplomatic apparatus of the Islamic Republic made the remarks on Saturday, noting that the hue and cry, which has been created by certain Western states, that claims Iran supplied Russia with drones and missiles to be used for the Ukraine war is in terms of missiles completely false and in terms of drones the delivery happened months before the conflict. (…)
Some European states have started a campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran in recent weeks, accusing Tehran of supplying Moscow with drones and missiles to be used for the Ukraine war, but the Iranian authorities have time and again underscored that such allegations are baseless and Iran calls on both sides of the conflict to stop war and start negotiations to find peaceful way out of the hostility.

• Das britische Intel Update:

Russia is probably struggling to provide military training for its current mobilisation drive and its annual autumn conscription intake.
The Russian Armed Forces were already stretched providing training for the approximate 300,000 troops required for its ‘partial mobilisation’, announced on 21 September 2022.
These issues will be compounded by the additional regular autumn annual conscription cycle, announced on 30 September 2022 and starting 01 November 2022, which is usually expected to bring in an additional 120,000 personnel.
Newly mobilised conscripts likely have minimal training or no training at all. Experienced officers and trainers have been deployed to fight in Ukraine and some have likely been killed in the conflict.
Russian forces are conducting training in Belarus due to a shortage of training staff, munitions and facilities in Russia. Deploying forces with little or no training provides little additional offensive combat capability.
