Russian invasion of Ukraine

[CTID1977]

Russian propaganda now floating the idea of a second mobilisation



Hard to see how that’s going to help when the first one hasn’t been equipped, trained or deployed yet and the Ukrainian progress is happening so quickly.

I'd suggest to anyone who's going to do that to pick up this **** first

Russian propaganda now floating the idea of a second mobilisation

If Russia had an honest and independent media there would be loads of questions being asked about where the Pre War capability has gone.

Global Firepower ranks Russia as having the second-most-powerful military force in the world, trailing only the US, and this is with a population base that is half as large. Russia is listed as having just under 70 million people available for military service, with just under 47 million who are deemed fit for service. It has 850,000 active personnel and 250,000 in reserve, for a total of 1,350,000, according to Global Firepower, while the IISS's Military Balance estimates Russia's active personnel strength to be 900,000. The CIA World Factbook also gives figures of 200,000 to 250,000 Federal National Guard (ie reservists) and 850,000 full-time military personnel, which it breaks down into 375,000 ground troops, of which 40,000 are airborne; 150,000 in the Russian Navy; 160,000 Aerospace Forces; 160,000 Strategic Rocket Forces and approximately 90,000 other uniformed forces, including 20,000 special operations forces.

Russia vs Britain: How do their militaries stack up?

Russia has been ranked as the second-most-powerful military power – so how does its military strength compare to Britain's?

www.forces.net

So the numbers above, pre war, suggest they have minimum 350k full time trained ground troops, Putin called for a mobilisation of another 300k. Ukraine had sub 200k and possibly closer to 100k trained ground troops - although many more will have joined up. Still the numbers just dont make sense unless the level of incompetence on the Russian side is huge. Where have all these Russians gone?

They'll have a lot sitting in and around the rusting hulks of the Pacific & Northern fleets.
And many sitting by the border of China.
Plus the most will just be dotted around the country, looking pretty in dress uniforms/ensuring Putin isn't insulted.

according to one russian expert the situation started to remind him what happened to the russian army in 1916-1917

You're having a mare today mate.

if I were you I'd just slink out of the conversation quietly.

If not joining in a bunch of creeps jerking themselves off over watching conscripts die in death videos is having a mare then I’m fine with it.

This morning I posted that someone doesn’t want to see a video of a Russian hiding in a shithouse get shot 100 times and 3 users have felt the need to justify why they’re frothing at the mouth sharing these videos and pretending that every Russian is a mindless computer game enemy who could surrender any time they want.

That’s it. That’s the extent of my “mare”

I’ve since posted actual news about the war, only for people to continually try and drag me back into a conversation that as far as I can tell is settled, you being the latest. If you want a conversation to end quietly then don’t keep restarting it by replying.
