“Everyone asks this question” – the expert said when Russia will go on the offensive
The counter-offensive of Russian troops will take place when the mobilized, contract soldiers and volunteers gain experience and coordinate. In addition, it was necessary to launch the military-industrial complex to ensure this offensive. Now these processes are being completed, so attempts by Russian troops to move forward may be made in the fall.
Military expert Alexei Leonkov stated this on Radio Komsomolskaya Pravda, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The question is always asked: why don’t we attack, when we will attack, when the very breakthroughs that are known during the Great Patriotic War occur. There is no clear or simple answer to this question. There are a set of answers that need to be voiced. First, it was necessary to prepare our troops. Despite the fact that we have a contract army, there were mobilized military personnel, there were volunteers - all of them had to be brought to a high general level of combat training directly through participation in military clashes along the entire line of combat contact.
Secondly, it was necessary to tighten up our military-industrial complex so that it would begin to produce in adequate quantities everything necessary for the front. First of all, ammunition, equipment and a bunch of all sorts of things that are necessary not only in defense, but also in attack...
All this is taken into account by our command. Let's say, the time of the offensive, large-scale, where it will happen - all this remains in their plans and plans, which no one will voice to us, and the less we talk about it, the less the enemy expects that we will do it. However, British intelligence, for example, and American intelligence, say that these very events will happen in the fall,” Leonkov said.
In addition, the expert emphasizes that in addition to preparing troops for an offensive, it is necessary to prepare other forces that will ensure law and order in the liberated territories.
“It is necessary to separate functions so that the army does its job, offensive, liberation, and so on. And in the settlements that we liberate, garrisons and military-civil administrations would appear. This requires completely different forces, not army ones. This requires the forces of the National Guard and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Investigative Committee, and so on, and so on. I will tell you that this work is now being carried out, separate detachments are being created, appropriate training is being carried out with them... We understand that these cities, especially cities with a population of one million, will need to restore order and maintain order. And for this we will need other forces and means, not army ones,” Leonkov clarified.
