Russia has a strong military, as well as hundreds of thousands of regular troops, but strangely, in some cases, Russia will make mercenaries the protagonists instead of its own soldiers, which has to make people wonder, why did Russia do this?Suspicious.
To solve this problem, of course, we must not only consider one aspect, but also strategic, economic, and political aspects.
1. Strategic considerations.
While regular armies are generally subject to the provisions of international law and international human rights law, mercenaries do not. In short, in some conflicts, mercenaries can adopt a more flexible and uninhibited approach, which brings huge strategic benefits to Russia.
The emergence of mercenaries, so that Russia has more room for maneuver and maneuver, because the regular army has to obey a set of rules and decrees, the space for activity is limited, but the mercenaries will not be subject to this constraint, they have a broader space for activities, which also contains some non-traditional ** and strategies, which allows Russia to respond more flexibly according to different battlefield environments, and improve its combat effectiveness.
This is also a good strategy for Russia. In some conflicts, especially in high-profile areas, Russia must adopt "non-traditional" methods in order to achieve its goals, while the involvement of regular armies has the potential to attract international attention and accusations, and may provoke outside interference. And the hiring of mercenaries can make Russia more low-key and will not attract international attention.
It also gives Russia a greater space for strategic maneuver. Under certain complex conditions of warfare, conventional forces will face more challenges and problems, and will be deployed and deployed more. Moreover, the appearance of mercenaries can also become a reserve force for Russia, which can quickly replenish the army once it is in trouble and maintain the stability of the situation.
2. Analysis of economic causes.
Maintaining and training a regular army not only costs a huge amount of money, but also takes a long time to train and train. On the contrary, mercenaries can be paid handsomely, allowing these mercenaries to quickly build up a strong army.
Hiring mercenaries saves Russia a lot of money. Mercenaries generally take money to do things, they will not have the same benefits as regular troops, and there will be no long-term training, Russia can recruit those mercenaries with high salaries, so that they can have a very efficient army in a short period of time, and also save a lot of financial resources.
In addition, hiring mercenaries is also a good option for Russia, you know, cultivating a regular army is a long-term investment, and some conflicts can even consume huge troops, Russia can use these mercenaries to meet its own needs, and at the same time, it can also flexibly deploy the size and configuration of troops to meet various operational needs.
3. Political considerations.
In certain times of contradiction or war, it is necessary for Russia to take certain sensitive measures to attract international attention and criticism, and is unwilling to allow the regular army to intervene, which leads to the use of mercenaries in some specific military activities.
By using these mercenaries, Russia can shift the blame to the mercenaries, thus saving itself from too much blame.
If the military intervenes in certain sensitive matters, it will not only attract the attention of all countries in the world, but also cause international interference, and then cause diplomatic frictionOn the other hand, the behavior of mercenaries is usually seen as a private act of the individual, therefore, it can be considered private, so that the risk of ** can be reduced.
In addition to this, mercenaries can also give the country some political cover. On the one hand, with the help of mercenaries, the people's attention is diverted from contradictions and wars, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the pressure of the people. In this way, the image of the country can be maintained, and the internal stability of the country can be guaranteed.
There are many reasons why Russia has given up hundreds of thousands of regular troops and let those mercenaries be the vanguard.
Moreover, strategic, economic, and political factors will all have a certain impact on Russia's policy, and although such a policy may cause certain controversies and problems, it may be more suitable for Russia and more efficient in certain special circumstances. In other words, I hope that the world can always be peaceful and there will be no more conflicts, otherwise, ** is too big.
