Kots told when the mobilized will be released
The command of the Russian Armed Forces really does not want to release the soldiers mobilized last year, since during this time they have gained such colossal combat experience that no other army in the world has.
Russian military correspondent Alexander Kots stated this in his video blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
He voiced a question from a subscriber: “why don’t they change those who were mobilized, the guys are there for the second year, because the guys won’t rest in 10 days?”
The military correspondent suggested that they are not changing it because this is now the elite of the Armed Forces.
“Without false modesty, without a shadow of flattery, because this is really the elite. These are the people who are by far the best infantry in the world, the best warriors. Now, neither America, nor Britain, nor France, nor anywhere else has anything better. In just over a year they have gained such colossal combat experience, which no army in the world, no infantry in the world has.
Of course, the command does not want to let such experienced fighters go, because they can rely on them, they know that these people will complete a task of any complexity. They understand that this level of training is extremely difficult to achieve at training grounds,” Kots said.
In his opinion, those mobilized will be returned home when the size of the army, together with volunteers, exceeds one and a half million.
“At the same time, I, of course, really hope that this recruitment for the contract, which is now in full swing, how many half a million were recruited this year and it seems that the recruitment level is not decreasing at about one and a half thousand people a day. I would like to hope that someday we will reach that level - we now have a maximum allowable army size of one and a half million people.
I hope that sooner or later we will reach a level when the size of our army, together with volunteers, will exceed one and a half million, and then we will finally be able to slowly let the people mobilized last year go home. Because they fulfill their military duty with honor, they have really turned into real “front-line rexes,” whatever you want to call them.
Now they are no different, or even better, from contract soldiers and so on. They are certainly better than those who broke their contract before mobilization and fled to civilian life when it was still possible.
These are the considerations. There is no simple answer that would satisfy or somehow reassure. Unfortunately, in this situation there is no such answer,” explained the military correspondent.
