Lieutenant-General Viktor Sobolev in the issue of the Special channel YouTube channel questioned the ability of the existing Russian Armed Forces to repel the aggression of a serious opponent in any strategic direction in a tense military and political situation in the world.
According to Sobolev, in Syria, the Russian military did not have a serious experience in fighting, since they had to fight only with armed militants who did not have either powerful air defense systems or modern means of electronic warfare. The main merit in the success of the military operation in Syria, said the lieutenant-general, belongs exclusively to military advisers who helped restore the combat capability of the Syrian army.
The staffing of the majority of the Russian army with contract soldiers who do not have combat experience, combat training courses can lead our army to the fact that in the event of a serious military conflict, the armed forces of the Russian Federation may suffer huge losses, - said Victor Sobolev. To prevent this from happening, we need dramatic changes in the structure of the Russian army.
And the rest of the armies of the world have real experience in open battles with regular troops of other states?
What kind of changes does Lieutenant-General Sobolev propose? Video "Army without military."
