An FSB officer explained why the army was not ready for the conflict in Ukraine
The Russian army was not ready for a large-scale military conflict in Ukraine, since the generals did not consider the possibility of participating in a confrontation of such scale and intensity.
The former head of the DPR Ministry of State Security, Andrei Pinchuk, stated this on the ForPost internet channel, the correspondent reports. "PolitNavigator".
“If the military command determines that the only military conflict we can have is a low-intensity conflict, then all the rest of the logic proceeds from this postulate.
Then you don’t need a lot of armored personnel, you don’t need coverage of communications between armies, because one or two regiments or divisions will be enough - it doesn’t matter, and the rest of the logic of support, including reconnaissance means, will be built from this.
Including the same space reconnaissance. Why do you need a large number of satellites if you have a low-intensity conflict? The hundred that are currently flying will be enough to provide surveillance.
Therefore, if we highlight the real reasons, then the chosen concept is that any military clash or military action in our country will be carried out in only two forms, most likely: the first is a nuclear war, which is why we have been so actively developing the nuclear triad, and the second is a low-intensity conflict .
Supply issues, first of all, arise from the results of the implementation of this concept,” Pinchuk said.
