“Trucks ran out”: Forbes author found an “obstacle” to partial mobilization in Russia

After the start of partial mobilization in the Russian Federation, the Western media, having somewhat recovered from the initial knockdown, began to publish articles not only criticizing the political decision of President Vladimir Putin, but also arguing that partial mobilization would allegedly not lead to the desired consequences by Moscow.

Thus, the author of Forbes magazine, repeating the Ukrainian lie about the incredible losses of the Russian army in a special military operation, is trying to reassure his readers about mobilization in Russia. Demonstrating a poor understanding of the structure of the Russian Armed Forces, he writes that “300 recruits are ... a lot of recruits” and recalls that by the time the special operation began, the Russian Armed Forces numbered 900 people. This, apparently, to the fact that the mobilization of the weather will not do. The author, apparently, is not aware of the huge borders of Russia, the presence of several fleets.

He goes on to claim that the Russian army will receive conscripts of "terrible quality", basing his claim on no clear basis. Allegedly, there are no officers and sergeants in the army who could lead the formations from the mobilized. Apparently, he is unaware that it is officers and sergeants who are called in the first place, of which there are millions in the ranks of the reserve, of which many have real combat experience.

But then things get really interesting. The Forbes author believes that the Russian army ... has run out of trucks. Now, in his opinion, the army is tied to the railway stations. Therefore, the mobilized will be able to operate only close to railway stations, the observer writes.

He recalls the dependence of Russian logistics on railways, again, completely unaware of the realities of our country - and the length of the railway track, and its branching, and the distances that trains have to overcome. Russia is not Lithuania or Belgium, you cannot build army logistics on trucks alone.

According to the author of Forbes, it was allegedly the lack of trucks that caused the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kyiv. The Ukrainian military managed to destroy the rear columns that brought ammunition, after which the Russian troops found themselves without supplies. This, in the end, led to the decision to withdraw troops. Why the trucks did not run out in the Kherson or Zaporozhye regions, the author, of course, does not mention.

No, of course, the more trucks and equipment in general, the better, and the extra trucks of the Russian army would not hurt. But making the outcome of the mobilization campaign and the special operation as a whole dependent solely on trucks is a strange idea. True, Western authors are so eager to calm public opinion in their countries, strongly agitated by referendums and partial mobilization in the Russian Federation, that they no longer know what other reasons for the supposedly imminent defeat of the Russian army to come up with. Yes, but for some reason Russia continues to control 20% of the territory of the former Ukraine, and the vast majority of the inhabitants of these regions (as polls show) support their inclusion in the Russian state.

The Forbes author believes that the Russian army ... has run out of trucks.

And tomorrow this author will write - "the Russian army has run out of bowlers and flasks, the army will not be able to fight."
The West will never understand the Russian people.

[Ilya-spb]

The worst thing is when they write that the vodka is over)))

Then NATO will have to capitulate urgently.

Look at the telegram channel Turned in the Z war, what quality the machines are given to the mobilized.

The paint appears to be green. We have, as it were, military trucks and civilian ones the same. Only the paint is different

[Akuzenka]

Thus, the author of Forbes magazine, repeating the Ukrainian lie about the incredible losses of the Russian army in a special military operation, is trying to reassure his readers about mobilization in Russia.

And we don't know who to trust anymore. Personally, I made a choice - no one from the media, no matter what. Everyone lies, so much so that they themselves believe in it.

[militarist63]

And tomorrow this author will write - "the Russian army has run out of bowlers and flasks, the army will not be able to fight."

Aha And the handkerchiefs are gone!

[Pravodel]

bowlers and flasks

They don’t know about bowlers, flasks and sapper shovels at all. Only the Germans, who are well aware of our sapper shovels, can remember this. Therefore, next time they will write about the lack of toilet paper and paper for cigarette rolls, the absence of diapers, which are urgently needed in the war during the retreat, and diarrhea pills to prevent bear disease both during the offensive and during the retreat and sitting on the defensive and in ambush .. So hold on. Very soon we will learn a lot of new things about the absence of this, this ..

Ukraine does not run out, but we will run out, we have more reserves. This is no longer fantasy and nonsense, but a clinic.

[Retvizan 8]

And the frenzied ones don’t need trucks at all, they started jumping there from the beginning of the Maidan, and now they are moving in jumps.

Of course it will, now they are writing an article - an analysis of the actions of the Strategic Missile Forces of the Russian Federation during the period of partial mobilization.

Let them analyze the actions of the Strategic Missile Forces after their participation, the Strategic Missile Forces, in the database against the United States and NATO, so tell them!

[From Tomsk]

"... of which there are many with real combat experience."
The second Chechen war ended in 2003, that is, most of them are already well over forty years old. Whoever has experience in Syria is fighting there now.
Storytellers. They recruited the boys again, who kept the machine gun at best once in their lives.

[bk316]

Whoever has experience in Syria is fighting there now.

The word rotation is not familiar? No?
Well, where are you coming from?
After all, here is a site for the military, for the military-industrial complex in general, for those who are interested in the army.
And literally anyone who has ever encountered a "Syrian" heard "flying on a business trip." Why on a business trip because for 2-3 months then others fly home. Yes, there even the commander changed 3 times. But no, there are those who don’t know anything at all and write nonsense. WHY?

[GURAN54]

What do you mean why? And who will receive buns in TsIPiSO? But seriously, the bulk of the country has not gone anywhere, they just quieted down and like this they shit a little

[Postcode]

He is essentially right, well, today, as such, with "real combat experience", their% is negligible, or they are those who are 45+, that is, they do not formally fit the declared parameters. Moreover, the experience that is now considered "combat" in the conditions of what is now in the NVO zone has never been combat. The nature, tactics and intensity of maintaining a database are not comparable. And the list of weapons and military equipment used is just space.

[bk316]

I don't understand you any better. The Syrian experience is completely different.
The point is different. My experience is clear that
if a person lies or writes about what he does not understand in one place, he should not be considered as a source of information at all, because he will lie or drive a blizzard in other places.

[Postcode]

As always, there are enough of those who are not a gynecologist, but could look)))

Junior officers are called up to the age of 45. I think there will even be a lot of them who have gone through Chechnya.

[NKT]

Junior officers are called up to 50, 55 and 60 years old, respectively, category 1,2 and 3

[-Paul-]

Citizens in the ranks of privates, sergeants - under the age of 35, junior officers - up to 50, senior officers - up to 55 are subject to conscription.

Above we are talking about the existing mobilization. What are the categories.

[NKT]

You said that junior officers are under 45, I corrected you, under 50 is the first category.

[Postcode]

The experience of Chechnya there, or how in general ... everything is generally different there.

[Dima68]

Five day war 2008.
1st Ukrainian in 2014-2015.
And by the way, the 2nd Chechen war ended in 2009, when the CTO regime was canceled.

[Popov I.P.]

"Storytellers. They recruited boys again, who held a machine gun at best once in their life." Did you serve in the army at all and did you hold a machine gun in your hands? If you held him once, it does not mean that the same is the case with the rest. We have 35 airborne troops (approximately 50% are contract soldiers, the rest are conscripts), 5 brigades and 1 regiment in the marines, 8 brigades of the GRU special forces, not to mention the former internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR and the Russian Federation, the border troops of the USSR and the Russian Federation, where too everyone knows how to shoot. In total, only for the elite of the army and other power structures, these are hundreds of thousands of reserve servicemen under the age of 50 who do not need to be taught the basics of military affairs and, by the way, are proud of military service and have preserved the traditions of military brotherhood. Look at least Paratrooper's Day, Border Guard's Day, Marine's Day, etc. And age is not a hindrance here: at the junction of the LPR and the Kharkov region, the volunteer battalion "Tiger" from the Far East, staffed by mature men over the age of 40, showed itself perfectly, the main thing here is motivation and psychological stability, and the fulfillment of standards for physical training. Again, the 1st and 2nd army corps of the DPR-LPR are also far from young men. And no one is going to throw the mobilized immediately into the first line, it is necessary to provide a second line and rear in the liberated territories. Reserves are needed not only by the RF Armed Forces, but also by other power structures. After the transfer of the FPS to the jurisdiction of the FSB and the transition to operational and technical protection of the border, the FSB PS has almost no reserves, so sabotage took place in the border zone of the Russian Federation in the form of undermining railways and power lines (you should not blame everything on agents within the Russian Federation). Why not form several border regiments from experienced reserve guards and, based on the experience of the Second World War and Afghanistan, tightly close the border of the Bryansk, Belgorod and Kursk regions with regions of Ukraine that have not yet been liberated. In general, 300 thousand of the 25 million mobile reserve of the Russian Federation is 1,2%, but they must allow the situation to be reversed. And providing them with equipment and weapons is not such a problem.

[Postcode]

The assessment of the readiness of a fighter according to the principle "he knows how to shoot" is more than ridiculous. It is necessary not to be able to shoot, but to FIGHT !!! whoever you don’t recruit now, they need to be “pulled out” at the training grounds for at least two months, day and night, so that in the first battle, 30% should not be taken away .... and it doesn’t matter where they served, in the Airborne Forces, MP, GRU .... or in a construction battalion. About the border guards - this is generally a separate song. What is the most experienced border guard who knows the basics (I'm not talking about professionalism) of combined arms combat ?! What does he know about the camouflage of positions, about air strikes, artillery, about the attack of motorized infantry on infantry fighting vehicles and their support by tanks? They all need to be TEACHED!!! all of them, in fact, need to be taught ONCE AGAIN, with what already, namely FIGHT !!! Without offending anyone, I want to note that the success of the actions of certain units depends, among other things, on the enemy opposing them. If our mobilized volunteers got on the same mobilized, albeit not very volunteers, then the chances are normal, they are almost the same in terms of the quality of training, maybe, due to motivation, we will be successful ..... and get into a professional personnel unit, well-trained, coordinated for several months, etc ... and here, HZ ...

. Is it worth arguing with foreign experts / clerks ???
What matters is the end result.

If I'm not mistaken, I recently read that in Russia there is a queue for trucks two months ahead and 70 units are needed.

We are out everywhere. Now we are faced with Europe and America, and it is unlikely that the capitalist economy built under Putin will be able to compete. No matter how much they ruffled from the TV screens, but chatting is not to build a country.

“300 recruits is… a lot of recruits”

Where are the RECRUITES? They mobilize those who have already served and have experience in military operations, storekeepers.

Do you believe in yourself? Row all in a row.
One of many examples:
The governor of Kolyma instructed to deal with the complaints of relatives of the mobilized residents of the region.

Yes, it doesn’t even matter whether he believes or doesn’t believe, or the person here is at work: today they wrote in the news about the need to eliminate similar violations in Yakutia!

[Igor_Aretano]

The fact that all the official media are talking about this, that mistakes are not hidden, just means that work is being done, mistakes are being corrected. And with machine guns, about which the cissoshnik wrote above, he is correcting himself.
So don't be happy.

[begemot20091]

And do you believe in yourself? It is the duty of a person liable for military service and a retiree to sometimes appear at the military registration and enlistment office and report all changes: registration, marital status ..... And then, as he got registered 30 years ago, he forgot the way. I don’t justify the military registration and enlistment office workers, but who was left there? They dispersed even during the Serdyukovshchina, poherili military departments in universities, NVP in schools. I would suggest handing subpoenas to Moscow party-goers and (especially) athletes = they are ready for Russia and stand up under a neutral flag. So let them stand under the flag of Victory.

[nellyjuri]

In our unit, there were almost 4000 KAMAZ trucks. And several hundred artillery systems, probably even a thousand. I do not know their fate after the collapse of the USSR. Part was disbanded. Only vehicles, guards and a company of material and technical support remained. The weapons were taken to other places. But heavy trucks were standing there, that's for sure until May of this year. I was on a business trip in that region and talked with a guy who lives nearby and who drives past this fence with barbed wire and standing rows of trucks every day. Perhaps there are no longer 4000 KAMAZ trucks. But apparently there are many more. All bodies behind the cab are covered with shadows.

[Dilettante grandfather]

He goes on to claim that the Russian army will receive conscripts of "terrible quality", basing his claim on no clear basis. Allegedly, there are no officers and sergeants in the army who could lead the formations from the mobilized.

He should be invited to our Airborne Forces Day. Just look at the quality of those who have already served.

But then things get really interesting. The Forbes author believes that the Russian army ... has run out of trucks. Now, in his opinion, the army is tied to the railway stations. Therefore, the mobilized will be able to operate only close to railway stations, the observer writes.

About the same thing, if I, without getting up from my couch, begin to assert that in the USA the freeways are in a deplorable state, and therefore people there travel exclusively by planes.

how tired of articles in the style of Soviet agitation with empty snickering. in fact, even from the above quotes it is clear that Forbes is right. There is nowhere to put this mass of mobilized people, there is no one to train and command. mobilized reserve officers are mostly without combat experience, and the one that is is not at all about this war. even for a competent leadership, the task is extremely difficult, and even for ours ... well, problems with logistics, including vehicles, have long been known. and the difference between the Kiev region and the Black Sea region is that in the first case there are forests and rugged terrain, and in the second steppe, where Ukrainian DRGs are not so dangerous.
Well, thanks at least for the fact that through the cheers-hattedness they told about an interesting article

[Procopius Nesterov]

And how else to get people with combat experience? Only sending people without this experience. They don't pick up on their own. After this conflict, we will have a bunch of people with combat experience.

[lets-true]

we will have a bunch of people with combat experience.

They should have returned home alive. Which is difficult to see with the current organization of database maintenance. But a bunch of blockheads of the cardinal's guardsmen in the rear are catching protesters, a dangerous phenomenon, yeah. For one protester, 20 ducks with clubs. Why is this herd not sent there? Here the guarantor fussed quickly, for refusing to participate in the DB 10k. Norm. Either a coffin or a turma. The guarantor takes care of us around the clock, he can’t even eat.

According to Forbes, is the army advancing and defending exclusively on Kamaz trucks? Or material resources from the Far East or the Urals to the Donbass will be delivered exclusively by convoys? Kamaz and the automobile plant in the Urals did not seem to stop production, although they had temporary problems with foreign components, which are still forbidden to be used in equipment supplied under the state defense order. And if necessary, not only reserve military personnel, but also equipment from the national economy, are subject to mobilization. For those who do not know, I bring it up: in the event of mobilization, enterprises of all forms of ownership are required to register with the military commissariats cargo vehicles (and not only) and even off-road vehicles such as UAZ and Niva, so this stuff is in bulk in the country. And the scale of the theater of operations in the Donbass is such that the supply arm is not so long yet

[yakisam]

I am not a fan of Forbes and its authors
But it would be interesting to listen to the arguments of the critics of the "hireling of bourgeois imperialism", as he would have been called in the era of my childhood (and 100% justified).
Especially in terms of the presence in the army of the necessary number of command personnel with experience
Taking into account the mobilization, approximately 450.000 people will participate in the NWO
How many commanders in the army have experience in commanding such a mass of troops? Not 1000 battalion commanders, not 3000 company commanders - but in mass, that is, units and formations?
Considering that since 1945 such operations have not been carried out at all?
450.000 M&O on LBS 1000 km - these are 4 combined arms armies, that is, only headquarters - about 55 pieces - of a divisional level and above. And how many divisions are there in the army that fought, and moreover, it was a DIVISION, and not individual companies and battalions, so that the command gained experience in commanding a DIVISION? Indeed, in the army there were only 12 PEACE divisions, and there were no deployed corps and army departments at all.
So the question of the command staff is not a question of the NUMBER of people who were sewn shoulder straps with stars, gaps or without gaps to their tunics - it is a question of the number of generals and senior officers who have practical knowledge and experience in managing formations (not units and not subunits) and the corresponding headquarters.
I ask critics to tell me what they have to say about this?
And especially patriotic ones, please remember that when preparing the NMD, the command "developed" a "super-new" tactic for using "battalion groups" and "brigades" (from two battalions), that is, units that can only solve a tactical task to a depth of 3- 5 km.
Why was such a, so to speak, "brilliant" tactic "developed" (in my childhood it was the 2nd year of a combined arms school, for reference ....) - I ask, stupid incompetent non-patriot?
This is an indicator that for units with a large number of units in the army there simply were not enough command and staff workers.
And now they are?
Answer me. I won't hire Forbes...
* S&O - "soldiers and officers", LBS - line of contact (from a dictionary for junior officers of the USSR SA)

[Captain Pushkin]

Quote: yakisam

450.000 M&O on LBS 1000 km - these are 4 combined arms armies, that is, only headquarters - about 55 pieces - of a divisional level and above. And how many divisions are there in the army that fought, and moreover, it was a DIVISION, and not individual companies and battalions, so that the command gained experience in commanding a DIVISION?

The question is obvious and simple, like a brick on the head .... I read it, shuddered ...
It's not just management problems. These divisions will first have to be formed from very diverse units, otherwise one cannot even dream of successful operations at the operational level.
When they announced the mobilization of 300 thousand, it was thought that this might not radically change the situation, that it was necessary to call on 500-600 thousand to finish everything quickly. It won't work... It looks like 300 is the ceiling for the first stage.
It would be possible to clone divisional and higher headquarters by dividing in half, but after all, there are no regimental headquarters, where to get replenishment from?
In 1941, previously dismissed officers and generals (then brigade commanders, commanders and commanders) began to return to the Red Army.
Maybe now the time has come to return those fired by Serdyukov, because his "purge" of command personnel exceeded the number of those fired by Yezhov by an order of magnitude ...

[yakisam]

There is no one among the laid-off who would have experience :(
Many commanders dismissed from the Red Army had not just service experience, but experience in participating in hostilities, albeit in other positions - almost all combined arms commanders in the past were participants in WWI and the Civil War
But today, when there was no war that would be waged by forces larger than a company, there was already ... 80 years, and the last 30 years - there were no maneuvers with forces more than a platoon that imitates the actions of a battalion during maneuvers - here is the problem - WHERE to get commanders?

[certero]

Whether the Russian army has run out of trucks or not, I don't know. But the fact that if mobilization had been carried out in March from near Kyiv and from the Sumy region would not have to leave, that's for sure.
and if the mobilization had been carried out a year ago and a group of thousands of 500 would have entered Ukraine, everything would have ended long ago.

[Reznov]

Russian Army used to be a lot bigger in the Soviet times. They have the logistics capability to supply and transport 300k additional soldiers, that's for sure.

[Cheburek]

"He goes on to claim that the Russian army will receive conscripts of 'terrible quality', basing his claim on no clear basis." - he is right. Not when a reservist who has served 6 months in training, and 6 months in part to consolidate the theory, can be compared with a professional military personnel in terms of training. It’s the same with equipment, the personnel units are armed with the best that was before the war, the reservists are with junk from conservation ... The most creditable are the reservists of category B, they don’t know anything at all, and in fact they are disabled with chronic. diseases, they are of no use in the army, they will only pull everyone to the bottom, you won’t leave them, and they can’t do anything.

[Ezekiel 25-17]

[Dimax-nemo]

In storage up to 7 thousand BMP-1? I wonder how many BTR-70s?

[Zoer]

Are rusty machine guns given out to those mobilized from a good life? Or is it also Westerners' tales?

[Popov I.P.]

These are not fairy tales, but the prose of military life. There are usually 10-20 assault rifles in a box, and in the warehouses of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation there are approximately only 18 AK and AKM units, not counting the PPSh, PPD, Mosin rifles, Simonov carbines, etc. Small arms have a rather long life cycle. And if one box was stored in violation of the moisture requirements, then its contents had to be: a) replaced with machine guns in grease b) give the unit’s l / s a ​​sufficient amount of rags and oil and organize an intensified cleaning of the weapon and it will shoot, because during the period tests of AK, they were kept in baths with water for weeks and their working capacity was preserved. But the one who uploads such videos to the network must be brought to strict responsibility, because military personnel in the service are strictly forbidden to have smartphones and phones with cameras, because this is a war or preparation for it, and not a search for hype on fried facts. According to the charter, a soldier is obliged to report all shortcomings on command, and also has the right to file complaints, including with the military prosecutor's office. Moreover, the requirement to ban smartphones and telephones was essentially written with the blood of a number of other military conflicts: not only is there a leak of information that is not subject to disclosure, but also according to the geolocation of a photo or video, the location of the unit is calculated, and there were even arrivals for a regular call more than once. These requirements should have been brought to the attention of the mobilized at the recruiting station (by the way, in a number of subjects of the federation, local authorities buy simple push-button telephones for the mobilized precisely on the basis of this requirement), in extreme cases, upon arrival at the military unit, smartphones should be deposited.

[Zoer]

Good answer, clear and to the point. You would have been defeated instead of Shoigu, you see, even without mobilization in July, and so ...

Yes, since I continuously carried shoulder straps from 15 to 55 years old, I have considerable experience in communicating with admiral generals, and somehow I did not meet among them those who led the exercises on smartphones. Back in 2008, after August 8.08.2008, 500, Penza-made M-539 products for this category of people were accepted for supply (there is a commercial version of it M-1), in fact a cell phone with a reinforced battery and a guaranteed encryption unit operating over a network of use, of course that without a camera and geolocation. So it makes no sense to use smartphones to control troops. But another thing is that any source of radiation (even with an encrypted signal) can be aimed at. Remember the liquidation of Dzhokhar Dudayev, who somewhat dragged out a conversation on a satellite phone with deputy Konstantin Natanovich Borovoy, and caught a slightly modernized aircraft missile on the signal source. It’s another matter that a general, that an ordinary, as a rule, has families and the need to communicate with them at least occasionally, that’s why most people try to have a personal phone, including in the war zone, and this is how they rake trouble for themselves and those who are nearby. There is a field for organizational and educational work of commanders; 2. when fighters enter the unit, they must be informed of the requirements for using cell phones for personal conversations and the consequences of their violation, phones are usually seized for storage with the batteries removed 3. at points of permanent deployment, phones are issued at a set time for personal calls and then - new ones are withdrawn 30. but in the area of ​​​​combat operations their use is not permissible, therefore, based on the situation and the capabilities of the military communications system, personal negotiations of military personnel are organized with access through military channels to the public network (as was done in the grouping in Syria or how it was done even from the ships of the Northern Fleet, which are in combat service in the Mediterranean Sea). By the way, in the same headquarters of the Northern Fleet, XNUMX years ago, cell phones were supposed to be handed over at the entrance with the battery removed, it is clear that the officers were not searched, but if someone came across, then they raked for it to the fullest, especially with regard to bonuses and EDV.
