Russian special military operation in Ukraine #27

1500 plus

I don't think the UA can put so many troops like one million into service . Because of mass exodus of refugees of 10 million external and 5 million internal refugees , and because supplies are being intercepted at borders and some Road and Rail is being hit and because any mass movement can be intercepted by air power and Bridges downed to trap them . I think the best they could do , is this 50,000 light infantry , they are throwing into the front . Why not throw more , if they have them ? While the Russians are in " retreat ? " Although locally or perhaps psychologically effective , this is not going to change the outcome of the war . Must admit that they have determination , still making advances , despite loosing so many . Driven by nationalistic fever no doubt . Shows the importance of manpower , as contrasted with machine power . No doubt the Russian soldiers are brave too , but just not stupid . If they keep their spirits high , and not let these " victories " , disheartening as they may be demoralize them . Waiting for reserves , means burden and risk is shared by greater numbers . It is fairer for all . There is safety in numbers . Their feelings are natural to have .

Russia not intercepting supplies at the borders, nor are they destroying the rail network or collapsing bridges, this is completely made up on your end.

And Events have shown Ukraine can move around massive amounts of forces with ease.

old news carl.

More then that... "After us, silence"

They don't have enough strategists, I think they should look for them here - it's high time and survival is at stake.
I see that you are promising, I'm surprised that neither NATO nor Russia hired you.
It's a shame to waste such talent.

Lol

Such attack would be responded by wipping out UK, Poland and the US pacific island from the earth.

There is no sign of russian willing to use nuks in ukraine.

Nato is threatening because they know this won't happen so they are safe to say any dumb thing that comes to their mind to look big and powerful.

If Russia uses them they will do nothing.

What are the various types of Rocket Artillery that Russia has deployed so far?

I would want to see a Ramjet powered TORNADO MLRS in the near future.

If the Americunts did that then Russia should nuke Washington.
Europe and the FSU are none of the business of those transsexual satans.

How many soldiers does Russia have who's full time job is the military ?

1 - actual numbers are not available
2 - present authorized numbers are ~1,013,000
3 - end of 2021 probably around 50-60,000 short of this figure
4 - new authorized numbers for January 2023 is ~1,150,000
5 - this numbers include office cadets (61,000) and
6 - ~228,000 conscripts, who are not allowed to fight or even go into the SMO zone

So actual numbers available for combat are not that high...

None of what you said nor your video proves what I said was inaccurate. In fact, it had nothing to do what I said

If your going to throw your child like temper tantrums, do not respond.

So give or take 700,000 full time soldiers ?

Isn't the point of having a full time military similar to a fire department? When a fire starts, you activate the military to put it out?

Out of a million, how could there possibly be lack of available men for combat? Or do most of these men have to stay put in case China and N/Korea invade Russia ? Or Canada invades Russia over the north. Thats ridiculous.

Well its not normally if someone is preparing for a war against you, you will notice months in advance. As they will need to call up millions this will be seen and be like "Well now we gotta call up millions"

It is common for big countries to maintain only small forces in peacetime as keeping hundreds of thousands upon hundreds of thousands of men ready to go at at moment is simple to expensive and pointless.

The problem with the Ukraine war, Russia got cocky and misjudged Ukraine's strength so they never bothered to mobilize beforehand which I said from day 1 was a mistake that would kick them in the ass.

The mistake Russia made wasn't keeping such a massive force online 24/7 it was they didn't mobilize what they needed when they should have.

Silence, General Seig, you are irrelevant and no one is asking you for anything.
Failure in life cannot be compensated for by playing the role of general in an armchair.

-yawn-

I know you have major anger issues as you have the maturity of a child so I understand why you are so short sighted.

But let me make this simple for you, If you're going to act like a brat who gets pissy someone said something they don't like it's straightforward. Don't open your mouth.

This is the only time, I'll say this to you. Act like a man child, I'll just ignore you.

Or Canada invades Russia over the north. Thats ridiculous. So out of that million you actually can only use the 700,000 professionals... how many are actually front line combat is another issue.

Anger problem?
And you're doing the same thing again, General, you're curing your own shortcomings by putting the failure in life on others. That's not good for you, General.
Look at the word NOBODY I know it hurts but it's you Seig..

Russia was making a gamble. They tried to split the leadership in Kiev, make deals, get the army to defect, etc... all to no avail.
Then it tried the diplomatic route. That again was a failure.

What the Russian leadership really misjudged was the West's resolve to destroy Russia and sacrifice every Ukrainian with the aim of doing so. The Ukraine is not acting on its own, nor surviving on its own if you can call it that. In fact at this stage it's nothing more than a Frankenstein monstrosity being animated by various electric cables and electrodes. The resolve of its people or army or whatever is subject chiefly to the will of the West and its propaganda arms - who are able to convince a gullible, desperate population of any feel-good fable they fancy; as they have been even before the war for the last 8 years in fact - as the Ukraine rode head-first into de-industrialization, itinerant labour and became the poorest country in Europe.
All the Ukraine provides itself today is manpower and the barest of ammo and fuel it can scrape up. Everything else is brought in, including finances. And now increasingly fighters are brought in as well.

I spoke months ago about Russian mobilizations probably coming sooner or later. As they would be necessary to expand the army given the possible entrance of NATO into the conflict.
It surprised me when they were announced, as I thought the danger had passed by this time. Evidently not however.

But mobilization is not so much necessary to destroy Ukrainian forces by themselves. As has been postulated previously, the pre-war Ukrainian force has already been mostly destroyed, along with what they mobilized initially. Mostly they have various Teroborona left, some surviving brigades around Odessa, Western Ukraine and Kiev, and this new NATO trained force which has a lot of mercs involved in it as well, probably officers and contract servicemen from NATO states that volunteered as well.
This is what mobilization is needed for. As NATO involvement is only set to expand. While Russia both needs to expand its army, and give more of its reserves combat experience.

Muskrat misunderstands many things. Or rather he point blank refuses to even LOOK at them. Here's some.
Overwhelmingly you can't have "free elections" when the American installed Fascists terrorise the population. Nor can you have them when for 8 yrs the Russian speaking parties, media and langauge were effectively or outright banned.

According to Muskrat Kharkov, Odessa, Kiev and chunks of the other 4 oblasts remain under Nazi control? Yeah right... he's smoking really strong gear today. Putin does Russia, Muskrat can do daft electric cars from mega taxpayer swindles. Putin doesn't make cars. And S African ignoramuses shouldn't attempt FSU politics when they know **** all on the topic.

The Pukraine had 30 yrs to show fair play. It only showed pure evil. And now justice must prevail. All a bit much for Muskrat to understand. So he needs to shut his Nazi collaborating arse.

So the cesspool of Naziland has another 8 yrs to rebuild, develop nukes, buy F35s etc, brainwash, ethnically cleanse and terrorise the rest of the population. Muskrat can go suck cock.

The Pukraine has forfeited any rights it claimed to have. Much as Nazi Germany did.
Russia tried agreements for many years. But agreements only work with gentlemen not scum.
