New plans for the development of the Russian armed forces

The Ministry of Defense has revealed new plans to improve and modernize the armed forces. It is proposed to increase the size of the army, adjust the rules of conscription, and improve the organizational structure of the troops. All these measures will improve the overall combat effectiveness of the armed forces, as well as ensure the ability to respond to newly emerging threats and challenges.

New reform

On December 21, an expanded meeting of the Collegium of the Ministry of Defense was held at the National Defense Control Center under the leadership of the President and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. As part of this event, we summed up the results of the outgoing year, and also revealed some plans for the near future.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu delivered a lengthy report at the meeting. According to him, the armed forces continue to carry out common tasks, carry out preparations and conduct military construction. Plans of various kinds for 2022 have been generally fulfilled. At the same time, the army is conducting a special operation to protect Donbass.

At the same time, new threats and challenges are emerging that require an appropriate response. In connection with the change in the military-political situation in the world, the Minister of Defense proposed a number of measures aimed at increasing the defense capability. It is planned to strengthen the defense as a whole and strengthen individual strategic areas.

The need for reforms is primarily related to the strengthening of NATO's military potential near the Russian borders. The organization is building up its forces in Eastern Europe, and also plans to take Finland and Sweden into its membership. All this creates additional threats in the strategic western direction. In addition, it is necessary to ensure the protection of the newly annexed regions.

In this regard, it is proposed to increase the size of the armed forces and change approaches to recruitment. In addition, in accordance with the new circumstances, the organizational structure will change. Such changes will be present at different levels, from operational-tactical to strategic.

Number and staffing

Not so long ago, at the end of August, the president signed a decree on changing the size of the army. In accordance with this document, from January 1, 2023, the total number of armed forces should exceed 2 million people. The number of military personnel is brought to 1,15 million people. - 137 thousand more than now.

Now a new increase in numbers is being proposed. According to the Minister of Defense, 1,5 million military personnel are needed to ensure the guaranteed solution of security tasks. The existing system of conscription and contract service should be maintained. At the same time, the number of contractors must be increased to 695 thousand people. – almost double compared to the current values.

The Ministry of Defense also proposes to adjust the principles of conscription and recruitment. Thus, the age of conscription should increase to 21 years with a limit of 30 years. In this case, the personnel will be able to conclude a contract from the very beginning of the service.

The system of military registration and enlistment offices will continue to be improved. It is planned to complete the transition to digital document management, as well as make other changes. Precise plans for the improvement of these bodies will be drawn up taking into account the experience of the recent partial mobilization. During this event, various problems have arisen, and their causes must be dealt with.

Organizational and staff structure

The most serious changes in the structure of troops are planned at all levels, starting from strategic territorial associations. Thus, the Moscow and Leningrad military districts will be formed. Apparently, they will be separated from the existing Western Military District. At the same time, the territory of the new districts and the composition of the troops have not yet been specified.

New connections will be formed. During this process, a new army corps will appear in Karelia. Two combined-arms divisions will be created in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. The airborne troops will be reinforced by two new airborne assault divisions. Five artillery divisions and high-capacity artillery brigades will be formed in all military districts in strategic axes.

New units and formations will also appear in the aerospace forces. It will be three controls aviation divisions, eight bomber regiments and one fighter regiment. Army aviation will be expanded with six new regiments.

A number of existing connections will be reformatted to scale up. So, seven motorized rifle brigades from the Western Military District, Central Military District, Eastern Military District and Northern fleet expanded to full-fledged divisions. Similar transformations will take place in the coastal troops of the Navy, as a result of which five divisions will appear instead of marine brigades.

Measures aimed at strengthening the interaction of the military branches are proposed. To support combined arms and tank VKS armies will contain one mixed air division and an army aviation brigade.

Supply and operation

The Ministry of Defense pays the necessary attention to the development of production and the production of the necessary military products. The necessary supervision over the implementation of the state order is carried out, and new contracts are issued. In addition, the work schedule is being adjusted: the delivery dates for some of the most popular samples have been shifted to the left, to 2023.

Due to timely production, the needs of the troops for new materiel are closed, incl. taking into account the conduct of the Special Operation. In addition, the industry will have to provide weapons and equipment to newly formed or expanded formations.

The Ministry of Defense will continue to recreate its own repair and restoration bodies, which were abandoned during the previous reform. Next year, three new repair plants will be created and military units of a similar purpose will be strengthened. The process of building repair facilities will not stop there.

Directions of development

Thus, the Ministry of Defense is actually planning a new reform of the armed forces and related areas. In the foreseeable future, the announced plans will be implemented in the form of real documents, orders and laws, according to which the necessary military construction will be carried out in the future. Due to such measures, it is planned to both improve individual aspects and strengthen the defense as a whole.

It is easy to see that the new plans pay special attention to quantitative issues. An increase in the total strength of the army is envisaged, with a simultaneous increase in the number of formations. In addition, the existing brigades will increase their performance and turn into divisions.

It is noteworthy that the number of personnel will be increased mainly by doubling the number of contract soldiers and increasing their share in the army. At the same time, interesting solutions are proposed in the field of conscription. At the same time, the duration of military service, despite recent rumors, will not change.

The modernization of the army will continue through rearmament and re-equipment. However, new challenges are expected in this area - the industry will have to meet the needs of newly created or increased connections. In addition, operations continue in Syria and Ukraine, presenting their demands.

Enterprises are generally coping with the current workload and preparing for more complex challenges. Production is modernized and expanded. It can be expected that the work of industry will be simplified to some extent due to the transfer of part of the orders to the restored repair plants of the Ministry of Defense.

Quantity and quality of

The Ministry of Defense continues to develop the armed forces and is again preparing a large set of measures aimed at improving all key indicators. Based on the results of such reinforcement, the army will be able to effectively counter all potential adversaries in all strategic directions, both existing and expected ones.

Such results are planned to be obtained through a simultaneous increase in quantitative and qualitative indicators. The size of the armed forces will grow, the number of formations and units will increase, and they will be equipped with the most modern weapons and equipment. How long it will take to achieve all the goals set has not yet been reported. But the positive results of these measures are already clear.

Comments

[voice of reason]

Pleased with the full-scale deployment of brigades in the division. I wonder how the concept of mixed divisions will be implemented. In general, in general, it is drawn to a full-scale military reform.

[Monster_Fat]

The trouble is that the succession of industry and science in the development of military equipment and weapons has been violated. In the USSR, any plant had equipment (which was not often used, but was simply waiting in the wings) which was intended for the production of weapons and parts for them. Similarly, the institutes had corresponding departments that were aware of the relevant topics and could quickly change their profile to the development of weapons and military equipment. The presence of GOST made it possible to quickly match various components produced by different factories in different parts of the country. In addition, there were many factories and enterprises that duplicated the production of military products and made it possible to quickly increase the mass production of weapons in large volumes. Now all this is gone! There are individual factories and enterprises that produce military products in single copies or in small batches over a long period of time. And it’s useless that there are effective models of modern weapons and equipment developed, there is no way to produce all this in large-scale! The military-industrial complex must be re-created. Under the sanctions, this will take years! The management has a plan for this, written down in points, or again some wishes, what is "necessary", but how, but who knows, "somehow" ...

[Vladimir Mikhalev]

The trouble is that there were no factories where there was continuity. For example, lipstick was previously produced here, but in case of war, such a plant was redesigned for cartridges. There is no our lipstick, no factory, no cartridges. And oh, what a lot of such factories have been destroyed. Therefore, before raising this issue, it is necessary to kick a number of economists in the ass. The chain is large and large.

[ycuce234-san]

It is enough, according to the law, to shove away from the "state scoring" (state tenderers) those legal entities that do not have the main or related and, first of all, high-tech industries of defense significance that are in demand by the state or the world market. Then they will have them and they will work.

Stop pouring crocodile tears and pouring your beer tummy lying on the couch. There are vacancies at defense plants, so the employment center bombs everyone with a little kick to work, drives retraining in our region, promises at the expense of the state and decent reservations and salaries. So we reopened the electrical workshops, we made machines for one defense plant, we launched the old Soviet ones, where the stuffing was changed, where one of the two machines was assembled. So there, a turner needs high-quality, imported equipment and modern Russian equipment works in three shifts without rest. Everything rests on personnel, what is the use of these Soviet workshops with equipment from the mid-60s and late 70s, you can’t put children and women there like during the Second World War.

[Oden280]

Everything will be as always. As a result of the reform, another corruption swamp will appear, which will give birth to beautiful reports and saw state money. So it was with the reforms of education, medicine, the police, the pension system, etc., and so it will be now.

A new army corps will be formed in Karelia. Yesterday I watched about fishing with Kuzmich.
Finland, say hello to NATA.
Another would be wood, gas, and in general everything to block Finland, so that she would more fully feel what Russophobia is.
It's a pity Stalin did not completely denazify the Finns: they were not up to it.

And for their people to reduce energy prices by at least 100 times (to make it easier for people)

Therefore, under Stalin there was a JERK. And not alone

Only now, conscripts are not taught to fight, and they are not taught ..... Are these divisions going to fight with NATO with a piping? or photoreport? Maybe square snowdrifts?

[Igor Smirnov]

Well, with such a main Russian military leadership, no matter how much you increase the army and don’t give equipment, then there will be no sense from the word at all. I can remind you how many HP and equipment the Arabs had in all their warriors with Israel. This advantage did not help them in any way, because the herd lions led by a ram will definitely lose to a herd of rams led by a lion.

[smart ass]

To begin with, they would tell where they spent 20 trillion on the last army and who sat down for it

[Sergey_52]

For this, as it were, they should not be imprisoned, but they should be shot - because it is impossible to qualify it except as treason.

Knowing Putin and Shoigu, there is definitely no development plan there.

Why not? There was a plan to build 5 cities in Siberia for 10 trillion rubles.

That's exactly what the plan is. But there is a small nuance, in these conditions the plan has very little effect on the equipment of the aircraft, and in the future too. In addition to the plan, there must be, first of all, people capable of implementing it, constructing and inventing it. But with this, we are far from all right.

[Konnick]

Army aviation will be expanded with six new regiments.

A strange term ... they won’t increase, they won’t bring it up, they won’t replenish it, but they will expand it.
And will they expand with an increase in the number of new aircraft and helicopters, or is it just a reorganization? Walking too far is dangerous...

... They will expand by building new Su-25Ms ... I would understand such a phrase.

As far as I understand, attack aircraft are not included in our army aviation. Now army aviation is exclusively helicopters.

[YOUR]

Reforms, reforms, reforms ................. annually reformed. There is no end in sight. Where are the results? In response, you do not see reforms in our country.

[28st region]

You will pay attention to how the Armed Forces will be reformed now. Everything is returning to Soviet norms. Regiments, divisions, army aviation. And how many copies were broken here at VO, all sorts of sofas proved how great the brigade was. Something about the lack of money was constantly weaved. Who was against immediately threw hundreds of minuses. And here is the result. Tons of money down the drain and a return to the Soviet system

[Kornily]

If you look at the composition of today's divisions, now one regiment has been removed everywhere, it has become 2 + 1 instead of 3 + 1

[28st region]

A little wrong. MSD types
Type 1 3 SMEs + tank + artillery regiment + zrp is a classic.
Type 2 2 SME+2tp+artp+zrp
3 types in desert and mountainous areas the tank regiment was excluded was 4 smp
4 type 3 SMEs + tank battalion.
But the last divisions were few.
In the 80s, they began to experiment with cases. So, on the basis of the Rogachev division, Minsk, a corps was deployed. We brought all the tanks into a brigade, deployed a couple of regiments into brigades, adding a battalion to the regiments, and the rest remained as it was. Haven't finished. Gorbachev, perestroika, Yeltsin and so on.

[YOUR]

God!!!!! Where did you dig it up? Who remembers it now. Especially about the 120th Guards Rogachev Order of Suvorov and Kutuzov Corps. of the Supreme Soviet of the BSSR and how it unfolded into the 5th Separate Guards Army Rogachevsky Red Banner, Orders of Suvorov and Kutuzov Corps. The Supreme Soviet of the BSSR is a brigade organization. I read and wept. Although he himself has never been an infantry ... and not ... and has nothing to do with it. The school was behind a fence.

[Sergej1972]

If you analyze the information provided, you can't help but notice that part of the motorized rifle and tank brigades will remain. Not all of them will be converted to divisions. The same corps in Karelia will most likely consist of brigades.

For the body, this is normal. Not normal for the army, for the district.

Yes, compared to 1992-1999, life has become better, in stores there are more cardboard sausages and milk from palm oil, used cars from DEVELOPED countries, incl. and from China. Go to the shops and see what Russian-made clothes, household appliances are. Household appliances are now all from China. CHINA which in the same 1999 was gathering dust somewhere behind.
These are the results.

As a result of the reforms carried out, we are in fact convinced that, compared with "partners" and opponents, we have a complete absence or a catastrophic lag in the following indicators:
- precision weapons
- EW
- intelligence service
- communication
- control systems
- UAV
- space constellation
All this cannot come about as a result of simple quantitative expansion. A lot of it has to be built from scratch.

Those. nothing good is expected from these reforms.
Won tax policy is reformed annually, and even twice a year. And so until April, no one really knows what has changed since January, only rumors. And now they have come up with some kind of tax innovation, it seems like there will not be a single payment that will include everything. But no one knows what it will look like.
I get the feeling that there is some kind of secret ministry whose representatives will be overthrown in order to come up with something else to make it even worse.

M. yes ... Of course, there are a lot of plans, but who will implement all this? You can’t cook porridge with the current Kremlin inmates and grief managers from the military-industrial complex. Everything is known in advance. But Putin does not change people, which means everything will be the same. It’s not even sad that the colossal funds will again go into the sand (read: dissolving into pockets), but the fact that precious time will again be lost. We need another team, other people, we have already gone through reforms with these, we know. And you can't win a war with them

Do you think that if we win, then NATO will be directly "scared" and raise its hands? Ukraine is now the central power of the alliance??? Ukraine, only a peripheral country that is supported because of the political benefits of the policies of the West. If we defeat it by capturing it, this will only untie NATO's hands in order to move on to more responsible actions. And now think about it, we here with a small Ukraine at our side dragged on, we thought that we could handle it in a couple of weeks or a month. And for almost a year we can not do anything, but only retreat. And what will happen if, in case of victory, NATO personally decides to arrange an operation to "liberate" Ukraine? Fully, with their troops, fleet and aviation. With its range of weapons and experience gained from conducting hundreds of military operations in different parts of the world. And the total number of the army exceeding our current army. Or will we again hope for a nuclear club?

[Mustached Kok]

About that and speech!
I hope everything will not come to such a confrontation and soon there will be a world without SVO. Simply because the prolongation of the conflict only strengthens Ukraine and weakens the Russian Federation.
Of course, they are trying to say in our country that "yes, we are actually at war with the entire NATO bloc," but these are just excuses far from the truth. Just like once upon a time, Ukraine in 2014-2015 declared that it was at war with the entire Russian army. And when the SVO began, they already really met the Russian army, and many citizens immediately noticed it. So the rhetoric about "we are already at war with all of NATO" and in the event of a very real conflict may come back to haunt us in the same way. Namely, we will sharply understand that NATO has truly come, and BEFORE that it was not even close.

The firm belief that the increase would come at the expense of 700 contract servicemen was especially amused. I wonder what this confidence and such brave calculations were based on? If even before the start of the NWO, people didn’t particularly go into contract service and there was a constant shortage, with the beginning of the NWO, many people immediately broke their contracts, then where will they get so many now?
We are already well aware of the level of analysis and intelligence for planning the conduct of the NWO. If the analysts on the new reform of the army were prepared by the same specialists, then I begin to fear ...

[Mikhail Krivopalov]

There is a good way to drag people into the army, which has been tried more than once in history - create poor economic conditions in the country with high unemployment, and then the contract army for all these hungry poor fellows can become almost the only place to feed and earn money! Then you turn on propaganda and appoint an external enemy who is to blame for all the troubles and give the command to the FAS.

Little is now decided on the battlefield. A little earlier or a little later, but the former Ukraine will be destroyed.
Something else is important. At the moment, Putin, Shaigu and Co. have provided a nuclear shield and sword.
Because NATO is still afraid to go to a direct clash with Russia.

But this does not mean that this situation will last forever. Technology is moving forward and if we fall far behind the West, we will be destroyed. Our obsolete (after some time) missiles, submarines and strategic bombers will be neutralized.
Therefore, just in the rear, in the economy, there will be a strategic race. The good news is that this will not be a competition of economies as a whole, but a competition of military-industrial complexes. It is enough for us to keep the lethality of our weapons and keep the means of protection up to date.

Now everything is decided on the battlefield

Something else is important. At the moment, Putin, Shaigu and Co. have provided a nuclear shield and sword.
Because NATO is still afraid to go to a direct clash with Russia.

The nuclear shield and sword were provided by Stalin, and the USSR developed it.
Putin, Shoigu and co. didn't do a damn thing. Everything that is presented as "new developments" (with rare exceptions) are projects of the 1980s.
NATO has never and under no circumstances intended and is not going to move to a direct confrontation with a country with thousands of warheads and delivery vehicles. When they say that they are going to destroy us, we are talking about the economy, corrupting the authorities (children abroad, accounts in foreign banks), corrupting youth, imposing their values ​​(LGBT, tolerance, multiculturalism), and not about direct war.

[Expert_Analyst_Forecaster]

The nuclear shield and sword were provided by Stalin, and the USSR developed it.

Those nuclear shield and sword are long outdated.

Putin, Shoigu and co. didn't do a damn thing. Everything that is presented as "new developments" (with rare exceptions) are projects of the 1980s.

Projects are not scary. Be afraid of what is on combat duty. Moreover, the most modern missiles, and not those that are easy to shoot down with modern means.

NATO has never and under no circumstances intended and is not going to move to a direct confrontation with a country with thousands of warheads and delivery vehicles.

I wouldn't be so sure. Peace initiatives have greatly reduced both the number of warheads and delivery vehicles.
There may come a time when the enemy's defenses can provide them with relatively reliable protection. If we were armed with what was under Stalin, we would have been destroyed long ago. The same thing would probably have happened if we had the Strategic Missile Forces of the 2000 model. So do not underestimate the merits of the current leadership.

Another stupidity with an increase in the age of conscription from 21 years old with a limit of 30 years. Firstly, service in the Armed Forces for one year will not affect the country's defense capability, from the word at all. In a year, you can only learn to "paint fences" and "build dachas." Secondly, a young man under 30 will have time to get a job, start a family, have children, get loans, and what - hello Army? And who will feed his children and pay loans? This will end with the fact that young people will flee the country and, having spent up to 30 years in a foreign land, will not return back. This could and would have made sense if a law had been passed that the positions of officials and deputies could only be held by those who have served in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and undergo military service from the age of 18. Thirdly, again another reorganization of the Armed Forces, but after all, someone carried out a reorganization and this "someone" has a full name. I don’t even want to talk about “modern equipment and weapons”.

[Nastia makarova]

before the age of 21, he "will have time to get a job, start a family, have children, get loans"???? funny

If it's funny to you, then it's funny. But in my post it was not only about 21 years old, but also about the fact that serving for 1 year will not affect the country's defense capability in any way - in a year you can only train a specialist, and about the fact that everyone should serve, and not just the children of "collective farmers" , and about the fact that those who run away abroad and settled there, after 30 years will not return .....

Another stupidity with an increase in the age of conscription from 21 years old

Personally, I think that this is the right decision. It has long been necessary to raise the bar of conscription at least up to 20 years. In order not to have an army of green brats under mother's tutelage, whom the President strictly forbade to fight. Some kind of sur - there is an army, but there is no one to fight.
But about leaving the deadline of 1 year, it was extremely upsetting - it is stupid to say that a competent specialist can be trained in a year.

[UAZ 452]

But about leaving the deadline of 1 year, it was extremely upsetting - it is stupid to say that a competent specialist can be trained in a year.

First you need to change the whole concept, the content of military service. As it is now, it is impossible to train a soldier in a year or ten. Not doing something for a year or two - the result is absolutely identical, only time and money are spent twice as much.

[Expert_Analyst_Forecaster]

Raising the draft age to 21 is long overdue. Not teenagers after school, but older people should go to the army. Those who received not only a school education, but, perhaps, a secondary technical or higher education. That is, the army and navy will be replenished with older and more educated people.
Some alarmists write that everyone will scatter abroad, living there until the age of 30, living in a fantasy world. The stupid will run. Smart people understand that they can mobilize even after 30. And, without basic military training, their chances of surviving in hostilities will be much less.
Those "smarts" who talk with their tongues that it is impossible to teach something in a year should serve in the army. Six months of training gave a very good base for a soldier. For a year, you can train a soldier or sergeant. And on complex equipment or equipment, contract soldiers or professional military men will work after graduating from military universities.

[kaa]

This is training for reservists, not conscription. After a year of training (real, of course, and not ramming snowdrifts), a soldier should not leave for demobilization to lose only the acquired skills - this is money down the drain.

Despite the fact that we have nuclear weapons, Ukraine was not afraid to fight with a nuclear power. Moreover, they are fighting very successfully, without looking back at our nuclear arsenals.

New units and formations will also appear in the aerospace forces. These will be three directorates of aviation divisions, eight bomber regiments and one fighter regiment. Army aviation will be expanded with six new regiments.

And what's the point of riveting new planes without solving the problem with modern weapons for them?

[avia12005]

There were about 34 Su-150s in the Aerospace Forces at the beginning of the SVO. In the year of NAPO them. Chkalova produced up to 18-20 pieces. A simple calculation shows that 8 regiments will do in 10 years.

No conclusions have been drawn. Emphasis on army aviation. So she is now working from the cabling. And it has no effect on the course of the battle. The saturation of MANPADS is gigantic, and even "Vitebsk" will not help.

Drones at the squad / platoon / company level are excellent. But what about IMPACT drones (analogous to the "reaper")? Nothing. There is no mention of planning for the creation of regiments. Since there are no drones and it is not expected, apparently.

Deployment of an additional 7 BAPs. Su-34. The same as with army aviation. When they tried to work actively with entry into the zone, they were shot down by 2 units per day.

Deployment of divisions... I don't know... apparently, "fight not by numbers, but by skill" - this is not about us. Infantry and artillery, but more - the conclusions of our General Staff.

And how many "athletes" do we have in the "Department of Physical Training and Sports of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation"? What are they busy with? All CSKA has long been in private hands, but management exists. Anyone who served in the military service of his head of the physic, as a rule, did not see it in his eyes.

And he recruited subordinates to match himself, everything was like a selection.

Of all that has been voiced, only the creation of a large number of new connections and associations is real and concrete. This means a sharp increase in the number of general posts. I have no doubt that in this part the "Shoigu reform" will be implemented in the shortest possible time. New division commanders, commanders, army commanders and district commanders will appear literally tomorrow. But the real deployment of these formations, bringing them to a level of combat readiness that allows them to resist at least the Armed Forces of Ukraine, not to mention NATO - if this happens at all, then in the long term. And it is completely incomprehensible - from where to recruit and support hundreds of thousands of new contract workers, given the demographic situation in the country, the deteriorating economic situation (however, beggars will join the army more willingly, if only because they are fed there). It is not clear how an increase in numbers will solve the main problems that emerged during the NWO - disgusting communications, intelligence, interaction of units and types of troops, cumbersomeness and inefficiency of management, general theft, fraud, ostentation, complete isolation of brave reports from reality? Which of these problems does the formation of even a dozen new divisions solve? Moreover, if these divisions are equipped with weapons of sanctions realities - without modern electronics, which there is simply nowhere to get in the next decade?
So it remains only to rejoice for the hundreds of colonels who will soon receive generals' stripes, and for our military-industrial complex, which will be able to drive a shaft of junk that has no analogues in the world, posing a greater threat to its crews than to the enemy.

The trouble is that the succession of industry and science in the development of military equipment and weapons has been violated. In the USSR, any plant had equipment (which was not often used, but was simply waiting in the wings) which was intended for the production of weapons and parts for them. Similarly, the institutes had corresponding departments that were aware of the relevant topics and could quickly change their profile to the development of weapons and military equipment. The presence of GOST made it possible to quickly match various components produced by different factories in different parts of the country. In addition, there were many factories and enterprises that duplicated the production of military products and made it possible to quickly increase the mass production of weapons in large volumes. Now all this is gone!

Stop pouring crocodile tears and pouring your beer tummy lying on the couch. There are vacancies at defense plants, so the employment center bombs everyone with a little kick to work, drives retraining in our region, promises at the expense of the state and decent reservations and salaries. So we reopened the electrical workshops, we made machines for one defense plant, we launched the old Soviet ones, where the stuffing was changed, where one of the two machines was assembled. So there, a turner needs high-quality, imported equipment and modern Russian equipment works in three shifts without rest. Everything rests on personnel, what is the use of these Soviet workshops with equipment from the mid-60s and late 70s, you can’t put children and women there like during the Second World War.

There is only one question, but when will this series of military reforms in the country still end. If my memory serves me, the reforms began in 2007 with the advent of another genius of military thought A. E. Serdyukov, then another military reformer with a construction bias began to reform the army, the results are sad, well, let’s say not very good, this was shown and shown by the Ukrainian company. I won’t list all the shortcomings that the war revealed, only the lazy one didn’t write and doesn’t write about it. to open schools, where to get people.

Quote from moneron

and who can name at least one reform that was completed as planned and gave a gigantic positive result?

The Serdyukov reform was completed. End of combat capability of the RF Armed Forces:
1. Complete reduction of formations and personnel units that were previously intended for deployment in the event of general mobilization, destruction of the existing procedure for increasing the combat and numerical strength of the Russian armed forces during the period of immediate readiness for the state to wage war. Retention of only units and constant readiness connections.
2. The reduction of the officer corps by almost two and a half times, the elimination of the institute of midshipmen and ensigns.
3. Replacing the majority of military posts in command and control agencies, formations and units of the rear with civilian personnel, actively introducing commercial support systems into the logistics system.
As a result, in the absence of a mobilization deployment base, ground forces, at best, having exposed all other directions, could allocate no more than 100 people to one armed conflict. Thus, it was impossible in principle to create a group sufficient to wage a local war, since the total number of armed forces is 000 million people, and there is simply no one to concentrate 1 people in such conditions. It was pointless to call up the existing reservists in the country: they had neither serviceable weapons and military equipment, nor the necessary reserves of material and technical equipment, nor an organizational core for the formation of combat-ready units and formations.
The very fact that we had 20% of the units on constant readiness meant that with full mobilization deployment, Russia could increase the number of combat-ready military formations five times during the threatened period. And with such a number of formations and personnel units, the ground forces could form a grouping sufficient, at least in quantitative terms, to resolve a local war.
Starting from February 24, 2022, the harmfulness of this reform and the fears of specialists who warned about its consequences were confirmed.

All these meetings are a complete talking shop. You need to prove your professionalism in war, and not in offices, discussing some large-scale plans that, at best, will be implemented in 3-5 years. Let the Minister of Defense better tell us where the new equipment is that he has been talking about for the past few years.

Why the hell do we need five MP divisions? Are we planning to storm the city of Washington?
For example, in the USMC, the most aggressive are THREE divisions plus one of the reservists. I’m generally silent about landing equipment.
