Russia has pierced the last window paper. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that in just one year in 2023, 540,000 people in Russia will become professional soldiers, according to the Russian satellite network. In 2023, Russia has created 2 new field armies and 6 regular army divisions.
And in 2024, in less than 2 months, another 50,000 people in Russia will become professional soldiers. The Russian army is growing in number, and all of them are trained professional soldiers.
The battlefield now is very simple, and the Russian army cannot form a quick breakthrough, so then fight a war of attrition. The Russian army concentrated its main forces to focus on besieging a city, and when the ** consumption was almost over, it retreated to rest. Another new force came up and continued the siege.
As long as Russia can maintain the highest ammunition production and conscription capacity, it will be able to fight forever. This is how the Soviet Union won against Germany during World War II.
Even the Russian army fights the same way every time. Every time, the Russian army gathered absolutely superior forces and firepower, first on the outskirts of the Ukrainian army's cities, seizing villages and small heights one by one.
In the end, a three-and-a-half formation was formed for Ukrainian cities, whether it was Mariupol, Popasna, Severodonetsk, **Mut, Maryinka, or Avadiivka.
Then, the Russian army used 10 times or even 20 times the artillery fire to slowly destroy and advance, all the way to squeeze the Ukrainian army out of the city. To put it more directly, it is to use the advantage of troops and ammunition production capacity to carry out slow crushing tactics.
It is impossible for the United States and NATO to give all the ammunition to Ukraine, at most half of the amount of the reserves. Moreover, neither the United States nor NATO countries entered the wartime military-industrial system.
And Russia has entered a full-scale wartime military industrial system, and the production capacity of one Russian ** ammunition has exceeded that of 31 NATO countries, including the United States. Even so, Russia still has to import large quantities of arms from North Korea and Iran.
Now, as the war continues, the mobilization of Ukrainian manpower has reached a bottleneck, and the people with the most military experience and combat effectiveness have been exhausted, and the quality of continued mobilization is getting closer and closer to the base of Coke soldiers and manpower. Armaments are similarly not optimistic.
From here, it can be seen how much firepower the Russian army has on the Russian-Ukrainian front. Therefore, no matter how desperately the Ukrainian army fights, it will be difficult to make up for the 10-20 times gap in firepower. This battle is practically out of reach.
Whether it is in human resources, financial capacity, or ** ammunition production capacity, Russia has a 5-20 times advantage. Well, it is inevitable that Russia will win, it is just a question of when and how much.
In the history of Russia, Russians hated not tyrannical tsars, but tsars who defeated wars. To fight a war of attrition, Russia is not afraid at all, and there are as many gray soldiers as there are. Fighting a war of attrition will not inspire war weariness in Russia.
Throughout the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, both the Ukrainian army and American mercenaries have lost a large number of personnel. Russian Defense Minister General Shoigu said that in 2023, the Russian army will be killed and wounded 2150,000 Ukrainian troops, killing and wounding an average of 589 Ukrainian soldiers a day, and knocking out 1 battalion a day.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian special military operation, the Russian armed forces have eliminated more than 5,800 foreign mercenaries, of which 1,427 are from Poland, 466 from the United States, and 344 from the United Kingdom.
The Russia-Ukraine war has given more than 1 million Russians practical combat experience, and the Russian-Ukrainian war is completely changing the traditional land war. In the Iraq War, a few tanks and armored vehicles of the US army could penetrate through hundreds of soldiers without hindrance.
Now there is a gap in combat experience between Russia and the United States. The United States is still playing the old-fashioned way, while the Russian army has fully evolved. In the Gulf War, artillery reacted very slowly, and the accuracy of strikes was not high. Artillery long-range firing should set up predetermined positions, and carpet shelling should be carried out with 100 shells hitting 1 round.
In a battle, once a section of defense is penetrated in full depth, the opponent will basically drive towards the empty rear at full power, if you don't have a suitable reserve nearby. The heavy firepower blow was basically completely unexpected.
However, thanks to the advancement of modern technology, all of this is changing rapidly. Infantry is more dispersed, infantry tactical value is higher, individual heavy firepower, and the massive use of drones. Precision strikes by long-range artillery + UAVs. All gave the infantry the ability to effectively combat tanks and armored vehicles.
Even in Gaza, Hamas militants rely on cameras and tandem rocket launchers. They can hit hundreds of Israeli tanks and armored vehicles in street battles in Gaza cities.
In the past, infantry companies were on the front line, and it was difficult to contact fire support, at most battalion fire support. Now, all kinds of missiles, long-range artillery fire, precision-guided artillery shells, cruise missiles, and thermobaric bombs can accurately strike at the first time.
Modern warfare is no longer the same, so despite the fact that there are already 466 American mercenaries*** on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield. None of the United States dared to go to war to retaliate. In the modern battlefield, brutal land warfare has become, a brutal one-for-one sub-war.
The US military has air and naval superiority, and Russia also has nuclear **, army combat experience and anti-aircraft missile superiority. And now, what the United States is most anxious about is not the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, but the Middle East front. The goal of the Iranian-centered Resistance Front is to clear the US military bases in the Middle East, and the Middle Easterners want to drive out the Western colonial empires.
