Emperor Putin signed a partial mobilization order in September last year, conscripting about 300,000 Russian citizens to fight in Ukraine, but the newly recruited soldiers were exposed to be sent to the battlefield by reckless commanders with only inferior equipment and limited ammunition, resulting in an average of four and a half months of survival for front-line recruits, and 20% of them died within two months of entering the battlefield.
Foreign media reported that the Conflict Intelligence Group (CIT) and the Russian Independence ** "Important Stories" analyzed the mortality rate of Russian soldiers in the areas where the fighting was most intense, and found that the time from mobilization to death of soldiers was measured in "days", and the death rate of conscripts was unbelievably fast.
CIT analysts say that the fall of 2022 and the spring of 2023 are the bloodiest periods of the Russia-Ukraine conflict;** The fierce battles between Mut and the Crimea-Svatov front were like a "meat grinder", which claimed the lives of a large number of soldiers in a very short time.
CIT further noted that "at first Russian conscription was to fill manpower and prevent the collapse of the front, but the record of these recruits from being called up to going to the grave was only a few days, and at least 10% of these recruits were not even more than 25 years old." ”
CIT believes that the high attrition rate of the Russian army is due to the army's unstructured combat systems.
