There are enough forces at the front, a new mobilization will only do harm - Sivkov
Russia does not need additional mobilization - there are quite enough mobilized and volunteer people in the Northeast Military District zone and nearby.
Military expert Konstantin Sivkov stated this on the air of the Den TV channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Sivkov also emphasized that the Russian military has more experience and better training, which significantly extends their life on the front line.
“In Ukraine, the average life of a fighter is 48 days. This is the data that the Ukrainians provide. And if you take the fighters who are fighting, and not just sitting in detachments, then their average life time is much shorter. What will he have time to do, what experience will he have time to gain during this time? Our soldiers, suffering ten times less losses, have a much longer lifespan at the front. The bulk of the fighters who are fighting at the front now are people who have been through the entire year and a half.
That is, people, measured by months of life at the front, have an overwhelming superiority in experience in conducting combat operations at the front, which the Soviet Army did not have then. Therefore, there is no need to increase strength. Now, according to official data, we have 380 thousand volunteers alone; people have come since January 1 of this year. 385 thousand volunteers. Are there any volunteers in Ukraine? There are almost none of them, they are being dragged there by force, poorly prepared...
Plus, mobilized 300 thousand, plus linear units. It turns out that the size of our group there is at least 700 thousand people - a rough estimate. These are two full-blooded fronts of the Great Patriotic War, 350 thousand people each. Guys, what are you talking about? Two full-blooded fronts - what kind of mobilization? You mobilize a million - and where will it go, this million? This million will turn into a huge social bomb that can blow up Russia,” says Sivkov.
