The Russians have created a cunning system of combat training on the front line - SBU Colonel
The Russian army has organized a rotation system for units located on the front line, which allows recruits to be trained in real combat conditions.
A military expert, retired SBU Colonel Oleg Starikov spoke about this in an interview with Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“They created very dense offensive groups along the entire line of combat contact, consisting of two corps, from fifty to seventy thousand people.
We have filled them with combat and offensive equipment and trained our personnel. What they do is throw them from the third line to the first, and then take them out. They conduct so-called reconnaissance in force. In this way, they look for our weak points and prepare their personnel for combat,” Starikov said.
He expressed the hope that the Ukrainian army will be able to match the enemy at least in terms of the fortifications built - albeit with a great delay.
“Russians learn very quickly. I didn’t expect this to happen, and the West didn’t expect it either. They realized that it was necessary to reduce the line of combat contact - and left the Kherson region.
And they quickly began to build the Surovikin line. Here, we say: “There is no need to advertise such and such a general” - but what if he did it correctly? By the way, we are now also building the Zaluzhny line quickly,” the expert hastened to add positivity.
