Russian special military operation in Ukraine #25

No conscripts being sent into combat or are you referring to the 2021 conscripts being first recall?

This is a case of interpretation

Every year, there is "mobilization" and troops are called up for military service of 12 months , and are called up 2 times a year

The numbers in 2020 were around 270,000 men called up,

In spring alone they call up 130k annually

So you have your "300,000" right there

What they are saying is that those called up, will serve now in Ukraine

So instead of staying in Russia, those will now serve in rear duty services , freeing up active duty volunteers to perform combat


----

Yes there were no conscripts in Ukraine, except those in early 2022

But now that will change, those called up will go to Ukraine and free up volunteers for offensive actions

Random will not be handed summons and pulled off the street for war

They are just taking already serving conscripts and mandating their use in Ukraine

With 300,000 troops being prepared for Ukraine, plus there were the volunteer groups that were being prepared(I don't know the numbers).

How long do you think Ukraine will last?

Will Russia up the intensity? I think yes, there is no other way.

Mobilization happens every year, you can take conscripts and use them for rear duties and support , as well as static defense and you'd have 300,000 there

This so called "partial mobilization " is putin speak for the use of conscripts in Ukraine

And unless they are supported and the rules of engagement are changed and loosened

It can blow up in the face of Putin

He can send as many conscripts as he wants , until he levels the cities where they will go, it makes no difference

By Margarita Simonyan - the head of Russia Today:

"We talked with the Defense Ministry, asked to clarify who exactly falls under the mobilization.

Here's the answer.

Citizens who fall under ALL THREE points are subject to mobilization:

1. Who served in military.
2. Who has a military specialty that is needed now (which one is needed now is classified).
3. And most importantly. THEY MUST HAVE COMBAT EXPERIENCE.

Let it be for now. I will keep you updated as I understand."

@russianhead

It's as I said, this is not a true Mobilization, just authorization of conscripts (military experience) for use in Ukraine

I read this as calling up people that recently served in the army (like in last 5 years), probably, ex contractors. You don't need mobilization for conscripts, as they are already in the army.

Right, except they have not been used so far

That's how you get 300k, you take conscripts and you use them for rear

Call up ex conscripts , or ex contractors and get the remainder

Good test for reserve system

In the end those who are called up won't be random from the streets

But I reiterate,  the need to support these guys adequately

If you are called up, I got a list of items I need you to grab for me while you are sent to the frontlines.  Don't worry, I will send ya the money one way or another.

A Luger?
A Nazi-Scalp?
A Javelin or NLAW?
A Reichs-Jugend Dagger or some SS-LARPer's Boots?

Tell me!

Putting your order in too

At first a Javelin but I want something that works

And as Werewolf said, a washing machine. I gotta get some chips for the 6th gen jet I'm working on.

One thing we can say with certainty is that Kharkhov fiasco was interpreted as a failure and not some tactical retreat or regrouping, as it was originally interpreted by MoD.
And that is a good thing.

Lol why do you think there is "partial mobilization"



And it's fine its a good thing

But support the guys with air power and missile and rocket force

Edit: to hell with it, replying to trolls and morons won't do me any good.

Ex conscripts, and conscripts lol

And you are as dumb as they come hahaha weren't you saying there was NO mobilization coming?

Go back to your hole imbecile

Bull shit. They don't take anyone who doesn't have military experience. This year's conscripts will man the stations that full time military is manning around the country and these full time hands will go to Ukraine.

In other words ... conscripts, or what do you call some one with military experience that was not contract ?

Military experience... ex conscripts or ex active duty

If you served , whether contract or drafted, you can receive summons

Another example what NOT to do in urban assault

You bombard area where resistance is coming from and then you send guys and equipment

This is why I don't trust the Kremlin to run a lemonade stand

How do you send troops and armor into urban areas without fire preparation?

This is why mobilization is scary with such idiots running the show
