Direct Language: “One of the strengths of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is that they have operational reserves. They use them to carry out rotations, strengthen in the most critical areas of the front. And, accordingly, to replenish the losses they carry on the battlefield.
Advertising:
This is an important element and we clearly monitor it – when rotations occur, when the units are displayed at the completion, to restore losses. The staffing of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is quite high. Let’s say, the officer’s warehouse all troops were completed by 98%. This is a very high figure.
They try to keep the same high performance on the staff. The figures that were voiced-30-35 thousand people (a month) depending on the activity of hostilities-goes to replenish the losses of units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. ”
Details: According to Skibitsky, about 25% of this number today – people who are in prison are under investigation against which criminal cases have been initiated.
In general, the plans for recruitment by the Russian Federation are performed on a monthly basis by at least 105-110%, the representative of the GUR said.
“Today (interview was recorded in early August -ed.) Already, about 67% of those 343 thousand, which they planned to recruit this year. And there are preliminary data that they have already made a decision to increase this figure by a minimum of 15-17%. But we have not yet confirmed whether the decision came into force.”
According to him, in general today the Russians have no problems with recruiting. The aggressor state lures citizens with payments for signing the first contract with payments that are very big money for the average citizen of the Russian Federation, a simple worker.
Direct Language: “You look, they have announced partial mobilization only once – in the fall of 2022. They gained 300 thousand. The rest are recruited without mobilization. That is, people go, they are also lured by privileges – for example, free education of children in higher education, attractive conditions for mortgage, etc.
And, importantly, families in the Russian Federation support it. They, as they say, are positive about the fact that their father, or brother, or son will die in the war. But the family will be with money. Especially, you know when your wife says, “Go fight better than you will drink vodka here all day.”
It is unclear to us. And there society perceives it, you know? There are no pickets, some other questions. ”
