Iran to engage in preemptive ground war with NATO in Ukraine – Krapivnik
Iran may send 100 of its troops to Ukraine to "fight NATO and their Ukrainian proxies" in order to gain combat experience.
Former US military officer Major Stanislav Krapivnik stated this in an interview with historian Pascal Lottaz, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Iran has the opportunity to send 100 soldiers to Russia to gain combat experience. They will fight with distinction. For Iran, gaining such combat experience will be a huge advantage," Krapivnik said.
He estimates that Iran's army currently numbers a million men and could easily be expanded to 3 million, but only a few special forces units have combat experience. Ukraine could teach them how to fight NATO.
"You understand, we're fighting NATO. Sure, they don't fly their countries' flags, but 10 Poles died because they volunteered. They may have been volunteers, but they volunteered in whole battalions. Poland suffered enormous losses to gain combat experience," Krapivnik said.
According to him, a real rotation is taking place among the Polish "volunteer" battalions. Krapivnik believes that 2 Finnish soldiers who recently abruptly resigned from the army will also end up in Ukraine.
He is confident that Russia welcomes the deployment of Iranian troops to Ukraine.
