Russian generals have an itch below
their backs, and they are in a hurry.

Russia has transferred a unit of the
new 25th Combined Arms Army to Ukraine,

which was planned to be deployed only in December
this year. Why such a rush and what is going on?

And everything is very simple, there
is not enough meat in the defense.

The 25th Combined Arms Army is called
an "amusing army" even among "smart"

Russian officers, because it is
an unstaffed, unformed something.

Every unit has two functions,
offensive and defense.

In order for an average battalion-tactical
group to be able to carry out offensive actions,

it should have a company set
of tanks, that is, 11 pieces,

a battalion of Armoured fighting
vehicles, that is, 33 vehicles.

And then there are barrel artillery, multiple
rocket launchers, electromagnetic warfare

systems, short and medium-range air
defense missile systems, and so on.

So, not a single Russian group is fully equipped.
Instead of 11 tanks there are 3, instead of 33

Armoured fighting vehicles there are 2 times
less. And the 25th Combined Arms Army has only

20 percent of the necessary equipment, which means
that the shortage of all equipment is 80 percent.

There is only "meat of
dubious quality", but no iron.

And under such conditions, this army can
neither attack nor defend effectively. It

can only plug holes in the defense,
or create an imitation of offensive

actions by sending units into the grinder and
pretend that it was advancing somewhere there.

And why did they bring in this army? Because there
is not enough resource. When the Ukrainian defense

forces began their offensive in the Zaporizhzhya
region, the Russians primarily used the reserve

from the second line of defense to reinforce the
first. When the first line of defense was broken

through and the AFU came to the second line of
defense and began to expand the bridgehead, it

turned out that there was no reserve. It remained
tamped down at the first line to fertilize the

Ukrainian black soil, so they had to transfer from
the Kherson region. But they realized in time,

because in the left-bank Kherson region
they have the most poorly equipped grouping,

and the Russian command decided to pull forces
from the Luhansk region. At the moment, these

units are already being depleted in that very
triangle Novoprokopivka-Verbove-Ocheretuvate.

And when you take from one bridgehead, you have
to fill it with something. So they threw the

25th Combined Arms Army in there to make it look
like some kind of saturation of the bridgehead.

The Russian troops have a serious problem
with technological resources, as well as

with human resources, which can only be solved by
mobilization, and there is no mobilization yet.

Will they be able to keep plugging
the holes with just people?

No, it doesn't work that way. During WWII,
the Red Army threw people by the thousands

just into the meat grinder and took Nazi
positions. But that mass of people had

adequate support in terms of equipment. The
Soviet Union had lend-lease from partners, the

military-industrial complex worked non-stop, all
enterprises produced products in huge quantities.

And this mass of people pressed the enemy
positions with the support of rocket and barrel

artillery, tanks and other equipment, in general
there was fire and mechanized support of the army.

Just a mass of people does not solve anything and
this is what we are now seeing in the combat zone.

Because since the second half of 2022 the Russian

army has lost its defensive functions
with the corresponding conclusions...
