According to British military experts, the Russian invading forces in Ukraine are in a miserable state and not well prepared for challenges. That emerges from today’s intelligence report on the war in Ukraine from the Ministry of Defense in London.
Although the number of soldiers and the organizational structure are said to be similar to those at the beginning of the war of aggression, the composition differs significantly.
Composition significantly changed according to report
As of February 2022, the Russian force consisted of professional soldiers, was mostly equipped with reasonably modern vehicles, and regularly trained with the aim of carrying out complex joint operations, the statement said.
“Now the force consists mainly of poorly trained reservists and is increasingly reliant on outdated equipment, many seriously undermanned units,” it said.
London only sees basic infantry-based engagements
Only very basic infantry-based sorties would be routinely conducted. Above all, it is unlikely that the Russian armed forces in Ukraine have managed to build up a mobile reserve to respond to challenges on a 1,200-kilometer front, the British concluded.
The Ministry of Defense in London has been publishing daily information on the course of the war since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, citing intelligence information. Moscow accuses London of a disinformation campaign.
