1
00:00:00,660 --> 00:00:05,160
In the last few days I often hear that
Russia is preparing an offensive with a
2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,740
numerical capacity of 200,000 troops.
It certainly sounds scary, but...
3
00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:17,760
But first, I would like to congratulate the
invaders on another record. The maximum number of
4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,660
cannon fodder entered a different aggregate state
in January 2023. Yes, the number of destroyed
5
00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:30,780
invaders exceeded 21 thousand in one month.
That is, even according to the most conservative
6
00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:36,300
assumptions, the total losses with wounded
and prisoners of war amounted to 50 thousand.
7
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:40,800
And these losses were to be compensated
by the Russian command during January.
8
00:00:41,580 --> 00:00:48,060
But let us go back to the figure of 200 thousand.
In fact, this is two months of mobilization
9
00:00:48,060 --> 00:00:54,120
processes in Russia. On the other hand, didn't
we see the same thing in the fall of 2022?
10
00:00:54,900 --> 00:01:01,440
There was a draft of 300,000 in three months...
What serious breakthrough did the occupiers
11
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:07,380
make after that? Rhetorical question.
Over the past four months the Russian
12
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:12,000
command has been busy feverishly compensating
for personnel losses in the combat zone with
13
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,800
resources of new recruits. And the more
of them there were in the combat zone,
14
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,620
the higher the losses were. And the average
figure for all losses is now the same 50,000.
15
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:28,080
With such figures of losses you will never be
able to assemble a strike group for the offensive,
16
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:34,500
having organized mobilization for 200 thousand.
Because this cannon fodder will only be enough
17
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:39,600
to compensate for losses over the next 2-3
months, and not for an offensive operation.
18
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:46,800
So there will be no offensive?
No, there will be - it's their maniacal, fanatical
19
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:54,300
goal. But for that they need more mobilization
resource, namely 150-200 thousand every month.
20
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:00,960
200 thousand is a very difficult goal, but
they will try to provide 150 thousand a month.
21
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,960
In this way, the Russian command will be able
to compensate for losses in the combat zone and,
22
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:14,820
in parallel, to form a strike force. But it will
take 2 to 4 months to do this. That is, perhaps
23
00:02:14,820 --> 00:02:19,920
by May the occupiers will be able to form a strike
grouping for an offensive, but there is a nuance.
24
00:02:20,820 --> 00:02:26,640
It is unlikely that the Russian command will wait
that long. And this means that they may launch an
25
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:31,380
offensive with incomplete units, without a
potential resource to compensate for losses.
26
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:36,840
In other words, if the offensive fails,
they will have no forces or resources.
27
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,720
There is another very important point, and that
is the enemy's inability to provide the new units
28
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:49,680
with a full complement of equipment. After all
200,000, this is about 250 Battalion tactical
29
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:58,680
group, or 2,750 tanks, 8,250 Armored fighting
vehicles and so on, I have already told earlier.
30
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,060
That is, even from this it is clear
that these are all unrealistic figures.
31
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:07,680
The current capacity of Russian
troops in Ukraine is various units,
32
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:13,620
with a total active combat unit strength of
about 120 incomplete Battalion tactical groups.
33
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Therefore, the offensive that the Russian
leadership is planning in the near future
34
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:24,720
will be the potential of those 100-120 Battalion
tactical groups currently stationed in Ukraine,
35
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,620
which will receive constant compensation
for unit losses during the offensive,
36
00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:33,660
because Russia is not capable of more.
But it will not be easy with this either.
37
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:38,760
The Kremlin is now approaching precisely
the line at which a cornered rat usually
38
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:45,720
finds itself. It begins to attack, knowing full
well that it will die anyway. In this phase,
39
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,040
it is particularly dangerous, because it
does not even count with his own life.
40
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,340
But the outcome for her will be unchanging.
