To reinforce the “degraded” units, unprepared Russian mobilized – ISW continue to arrive at the front

“Even the most elite parts of Russia have suffered significant losses in Ukraine” and they are being replenished immediately.

Recently mobilized Russian servicemen without training and combat training continue to arrive at the front to reinforce the units of the Russian army existing there. This is reported by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) in a review for September 28.

“The Russian authorities continue to send newly mobilized and undertrained recruits to directly reinforce the severely degraded remnants of various units, including units that were previously considered the main by the conventional combat forces of Russia,” says the ISW report.

Analysts of the Institute refer to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which reported that the newly mobilized Russians arrived to reinforce units of the 1st Tank Regiment of the 2nd Motorized Rifle Division of the 1st Guards Tank Army in unspecified areas of Ukraine without any preparation. And they also took into account the video published on September 27, which shows a mobilized Russian soldier who says that within two days he will be sent to fight in the Kherson region without any basic training. As of the time of publication, this video has already been removed.

ISW emphasized that this unit was previously considered one of the best, because it was mechanized and consisted of well-trained servicemen.

< p>“The 1st Guards Tank Army was considered Russia's main mechanized force until February 24, and the fact that its elements are being reinforced by ill-disciplined, untrained men is consistent with previous ISW assessments that even Russia's most elite units have suffered significant losses in Ukraine and therefore increasingly degraded. The addition of newly mobilized forces to units of the 1st Guards Tank Army is unlikely to provide these units with decisive combat power,” the ISW report says.

Recall that in the last ISW report it was reported that Russian Reservists without military training are immediately thrown into Donbas. And the director of the CIA, William Burns, stated that “human resources are only one of the problems”, because there are problems with equipment and weapons for them.
