Institute for the Study of War: Russian troops do not have enough "combat power" for a large-scale offensive

The Russian army will not have enough "combat power" to carry out a large-scale offensive in the planned time frame. This is the conclusion of an American think tank, also called the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

American analysts believe that Russian troops will not be able to launch a large-scale offensive as scheduled, because they do not have sufficient "combat power." It is stated that the Russian command is allegedly in a hurry, therefore, it will begin large-scale actions with insufficient forces, and this will lead to the failure of all plans. Thus, it is concluded that there will be no liberation of Donbass in the near future.

However, American experts draw their conclusions based on the information provided by Kyiv, and most of it is unreliable or fake. Firstly, the Russian command did not name any dates for the start of the offensive, and secondly, Moscow did not say anything at all about any offensive operation, everything was limited to statements that the NWO would continue.

It turns out that Kyiv, together with Western sponsors, came up with a horror story about a "large-scale offensive" of the Russian army, itself called the terms and now refutes them, dragging Russia into this.

Meanwhile, it may turn out that this most "large-scale" offensive of the Russian army has already begun, it's just that no one is announcing it. Ours are now attacking along the entire line of contact, feeling for weaknesses and forcing the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to bring into battle reserves transferred from one sector to another. It is quite possible that a breakthrough in one of the sectors will be the beginning of the offensive. And the transfer of reserves and new equipment to the front line from our side did not stop.

Dear editors, do not publish here the nonsense of this American office!

According to Arestovich, a half-million group is preparing for an offensive.

“They are probing our front, looking for weak points, where are the future points of attack, where it will be necessary to invest efforts that are now in the rear. Those notorious 200 that General Zaluzhny spoke about.

Now there are about 330 thousand Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine and about 150 thousand along the perimeter. This exceeds the invasion group, they invaded by 330 thousand, somewhere already by 150-200 thousand. Part of the Russian troops is still being trained at the training grounds,” Arestovich said.

That is, they themselves set the dates for our offensive, and now they themselves are saying that we will not be able to.

[Egeny]

The article is so-so, but there are many who want to procrastinate on the topic ...
Especially those who make predictions, like that council of Pinocchio doctors: "the patient is more alive than dead ... the patient is more dead than alive ... the patient is either alive or dead"
And the offensive is already on the sly, slowly but surely.

The name of the office is right in the title of the article. If you don't like it, just don't read it.

[Lelik 56]

It is not worth brushing aside the opinion of intelligence agencies.

[TipaVoffka]

We need a two-sided opinion for objectivity

[Alexga]

Specially climbed into Wiki to read about this office. "The Institute for the Study of War conducts research in the field of defense and international affairs. Operates on grants and donations from major defense contractors, including Raytheon, General Dynamics, DynCorp and others[2]" Therefore, the forecasts of these experts on the value are zero. Maintenance of commercial structures that produce weapons, no more. The analysis is done based on the results of the military conflict, below, Uprun's colleague gave a very good description of this structure.

[Pankrat25]

On the wiki, you can only use purely technical articles, everything that concerns politics or the politicians themselves, history and society as a whole is bullshit biased by the West, which has nothing to do with reality, so do not shame yourself here by referring to the wiki.

Regarding the "declared goals" ... The goals were repeatedly stated different, then they were re-declared, and again they were refuted ... So with the goals - a complete disaster.
If we take at least the liberation of Donbass as a goal, then yes ... By the end of this year, this is possible. But something more is extremely doubtful, unfortunately.

[Pankrat25]

Of course, there is a problem with forecasts when they predict to fight with the outskirts, but they are at war with the whole West. Plus, our mobilized still can not get rid of softness. You see the enemy - pull the trigger, otherwise he will pull first!

Uh-huh... Especially the shame of spring 2022. "How to please Russian businessmen and residents of Donbass at the same time." A country with a fivefold superiority of the population, an army with a nuclear triad, industry has been marking time for the second year. This should be included in textbooks. And next to the US operation in Iraq.
When Putin said "We haven't started yet", he should have continued "and we're not going to".

[_simply]

Will there be more examples? There, the bombing of Belgrade, for example ...

[Roma 1977]

Why not? It is obvious that Ukraine is conducting combat operations on all conditionally free imported, and is also fully provided with communications and all types of NATO intelligence, including space. And what did besieged Iraq use?

[Ivan Ivanov_36]

Well, the States didn’t do such garbage as we do in the NWO.

[Amateur]

Everything is studied in military academies - both successes and failures.

In any case, CBO will be studied for decades in all specialized educational institutions. This is the largest armed conflict in almost 3/4 century.

[Grits]

Quote: Expert2023

in fact, a limited group of Russian troops achieved all the stated goals

This limited group is the entire Russian army. There is nothing more to scrape together without the mobilization or participation of conscript boys.

[Uprun]

Not being an employee of the Institute for the Study of War, I will allow myself to predict 3 options. There will be no offensive, there will be an offensive, but it will not be crowned with success, the offensive will be and will be crowned with success. In my opinion, it is difficult not to agree with a realistic forecast.

[alexmach]

Well, there is at least one more option-the offensive ukrov.

[Uprun]

Your option corresponds to paragraph 1 or 2 of the earlier forecast.

[Nikolay310]

they forgot the 4th option: a negative offensive according to plan and ahead of schedule

[andray]

The situation on the front line in the LPR is very difficult. The Ukrainian side has pulled enough forces to the line of contact to counterattack. I wonder if they are allowed to create groups, why

[DefenderofTruth]

The main thing is that these are the last forces of Ukraine

[Quote Lavrov]

For the mobile potential of one of the largest countries in Europe, such hopes look extremely naive

[Expert2023]

Quote from andray

The situation on the front line in the LPR is very difficult. The Ukrainian side has pulled enough forces to the line of contact to counterattack. I wonder if they are allowed to create groups, why

The answer is very obvious - they are lured from large cities to the ,, field ,,

[dmi.pris1]

Perhaps. But in fact, the following is happening.

[Bingo]

Quote from: dmi.pris1

And about the "luring", but where did we get it?

Artemovsk, Soledar - it's just obvious. The most combat-ready were thrown there and they were killed very stupidly. Just imagine how they would have to be picked out in Kharkov, where, due to high-rise buildings, even MLRS cannot be used? Will they all fly to skyscrapers, and not on purpose?

[dmi.pris1]

Artemovsa, Soledar ???!! Vsuki went into the field and took the fight, or what? They settled in residential buildings, enterprises .. You understand about 'luring in the field'. And about Kharkov this is a separate 'song'. that Kharkov has already been taken .. They killed everyone stupidly, which is also very debatable. An enemy equal in strength to us, in addition, settled in fortifications and buildings.

[Bingo]

Quote from: dmi.pris1

went into the field and took the fight, or what? They settled in residential buildings, enterprises ..

They settled in the fortification, and not in residential areas where there were no residents left. Of course, it was ideal for them to go to the beach at all, where they could not dig in - but this is a utopia. Once again - in Soledar it worked out to apply art, in Kharkov it would not work. And the VSUK was killed with artillery, and not with skirmishes in urban battles, as it would have been in a millionaire

[Nikolay310]

Shoigu recently stated that 6,5 ukrovoyaks were destroyed in the ENTIRE January ... on the scale of the Ukrainian army and its mercenaries, this is a drop in the ocean ... therefore, even based on Shoigu's data, we can conclude that no luring by saltar occurred

[Nikolay310]

Quote from Bingo

Just imagine how they would have to be picked out in Kharkov

just like in Mariupol ... which, of course, is smaller than Kharkov, but much larger than Soledar and Artyomovsk ... by the way, they took Mariupol faster than Artyomovsk and even without Wagner ... it’s another matter that the best groups of marines and NM DNR.

[dmi.pris1]

Now there is not a word about Kharkov and everything else. On the contrary, at the end of last year, the Supreme Commander broke out about the goal of freeing the DPR. sanatoriums and what will happen to them further they don’t know yet. I talked with them in Gelendzhik.

[single-n]

Mariupol was surrounded on the move. And then they just couldn't get through. And even so, we stormed it for almost 2 months.

[Bingo]

In Mariupol, in addition to losses, they fought for a long time, despite the fact that they were immediately cut off from help. Moreover, the task was to protect the peacekeepers - hence the losses. And in Artemovsk, they were simply methodically destroyed with artillery, there were no such assaults as in Marik, - Wagner cleaned up the infantry crushed by artillery - this, of course, is fucking as hard, but not swotting like in Marik, where Ukrainian equipment cut through the streets in fucking quantities - they didn’t go to Artemivs anymore, because it’s not Marik - if they find it, they’ll immediately grind it with artillery

[Quote Lavrov]

Colleague, where did you hear this???
Do you know how rotation is going on, training with the enemy, what is the state of personnel and logistics?
Do you yourself understand that you are working to underestimate the enemy, which means you are provoking unnecessary sacrifices from our side?
In no case should you assume that you will now have untrained, poorly armed people in front of you and you can now throw hats on them.
It is already simply obvious that every meter will have to be gnawed out both in Kharkov and in an ordinary farm. A motivated, trained and able to fight enemy.
And what you write is really just some kind of sabotage after almost a year of NWO.

[Bingo]

Colleague, if shelled units are laid down, under no rotation can they be born. And if they have ALREADY laid down in Soledar, they will not be in Kharkov under any underestimation of the enemy. And they won't be there.
What has been done does not mean that our hunger will squat with songs. But to deny the obvious downsizing of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artomovsk and Soledar is not an underestimation of our own army, but clinical idiocy, colleague ...

[alexmach]

Yes, they are all correct. Everyone is now waiting for the spring company and wondering how it can proceed in general. Russia has mobilized and by today the mobilized are already ready en masse. Another question is whether they will be enough for something other than plugging holes, holding the phoron line, and slowly advancing in separate areas? If it doesn’t hawt, then there will be no victory in the NWO in the foreseeable future. Ukraine, on the other hand, is also preparing huge reserves, the question is how they will show themselves in action and what it will all result in.

[oleg-nekrasov-19]

It seems that the "Institute for the Study of War" took Lesha Arestovich as an expert.

[rotmistr60]

Somehow I don't understand them. Previously, the installation was clear - the Armed Forces of Ukraine will win, and of course with the help of the West. Then, in the Western media, fueled by Ukrainian "sources", there was talk about the inevitability of the Russian offensive and the timing of its start. They have already begun to talk about the "Korean version" of the end of the war. And suddenly the "Institute for the Study of War" pops up again and on a grand scale disavows previous disputes

The Russian army does not have enough "combat power" to carry out a large-scale offensive

Is it that new hopes in connection with the promised deliveries of tanks and missiles?

[alexmach]

Previously, the installation was clear - the Armed Forces of Ukraine will win and, of course, with the help of the West

I do not remember such a message from this "institute". They deliver relatively normal analytics, just like our military bloggers.

[rotmistr60]

You carefully read my comment, at the beginning of which I talk about what was said in the United States and Europe, and only then

And suddenly the "Institute for the Study of War" pops up again and with a flourish disavows previous disputes

[alexmach]

Yes, carefully. You made a logically incorrect generalization in your comment, lumping together everything that was said in the USA and Europe and passing it off as a single point of view, to which you have some strange questions about its inconsistency. And how, in principle, can information pulled from different sources be consistent, and even over a long period of time? Only a collective generalized "porridge" can reign in the collective consciousness. Nothing else. And yes, this mess will naturally fluctuate in different directions under the influence of the "information field". What is surprising and worthy of discussion here? However, this cannot cast any shadow on the opinion of a particular "institute".

[Lech from Android.]

Russia has a mobilization potential of 30 million soldiers ... plus a good military-industrial complex, there are all natural resources ... I am absolutely confident in the victory of our country in a long-term conflict.
Yes, it will be hard ... that’s what war is for ... it doesn’t happen easily ... but with strong political will and the support of the people, Russia can and must defeat the Armed Forces of Ukraine ... even despite the support of the Ukronazis by the West ... I believe in our victory... to spite all the haters.

[Gpn27]

Here I support, in the long run we will win, but the problem is that the collapse of the state (as in 1917) can happen before we win.

[Uprun]

Study MLF .... the revolutionary situation is when ......., we still went through this at school.

[dmi.pris1]

Yes. "The tops can't, but the bottoms don't want to." An unsuccessful war, a crisis in the country and the economy. There, too, people are not stupid and try to reduce everything to this. And they also know how to play for a long time, supporting the flame of war. We then, ordinary people can do it, but I’m not sure about our leadership. They have something to lose

[Stepan S]

Russia has a mobilization potential of 30 million soldiers.

Do you want to throw this resource into the "last and decisive battle"? And who then will live and work? It is necessary to somehow save this "resource", otherwise there will be no one to celebrate the victory.

30 million was in the USSR.
Now 20-21 million.
But as in the Second World War, teenagers and women will have to be put on the machines.
Relatively painlessly, you can call 2-3 million.
But is there anything to fully provide them with?
But this is unlikely, judging by how 300 thousand were equipped by the whole world.

[frei67]

Yes, and now we are equipping it. The niece of the SNF has already traveled 3 times targeted, transported Mavika's medicines and handed over products to hospitals. Went 4 times today. all the people bear

[dmi.pris1]

So we continue to equip, in schools, educational institutions. We collect parcels, products, soap and water, warm up and hide .. We collected medicines once, but it was worse than some kind of sur ... Bring ANY antibiotics ..

[alexmach]

But is there anything to fully provide them with?
But this is unlikely, judging by how 300 thousand were equipped by the whole world.

This is likely to be the biggest limiting factor. It was exactly the same in Ukraine in 2014-15. It is very likely that the next "wave" will be better than the previous one, because the system is somehow still learning. Again, something like this happened in Ukraine.

[Constantine N]

And if the military-industrial complex is not able to make up for even the current losses in Ukraine, is this why the West is dragging out the conflict so that there is nothing to fight with? Mobilization will not help then.

Do you also believe in the presence of a strong political will? This is after a year of tail wagging .... Yes, only the blind will not see that the only dream is to return to the position "before the war" and not to be heavily sanded at the same time. Pay off, if possible without overpaying.

On the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the mob potential of Ukraine alone is about 10 million. Plus the mob potential of NATO countries with a population of approximately 1,5 billion
Also, unlimited access to technologies and resources of almost the entire planet and the military-industrial complex of the strongest economy in the world (okay, I agree to the second one, but we are somewhere in 8-10th place) + EU + satellites.

The longer this war drags on, the further we are from victory. A quick victory could be expected in the first days and weeks of the NWO. When the enemy did not move away from the shock, we could demolish everything that is possible to hell with. Barracks, factories, warehouses and pile on all the strength and power. But the super stupid planning of the General Staff operation, and the lisp of our political leadership has led to the fact that we are now slurping a full spoon. And we eat something very smelly.

[Dobrenko]

20 million!?

[Bodipancher]

There is no such mob. potential in Ukraine. There is now a population of 25 million. Remove old women, children, sick lame blind. Plus, someone should stay in the rear to maintain transport, infrastructure, maintain law and order, maintain the financial system, and communal services. Ukraine is one of the oldest countries in Europe in terms of population, -250 thousand annually only due to natural decline. I think the human resource of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is already close to exhaustion. Otherwise, people would not be chased through the streets.

I have a different opinion, given the political aspect.
We must not forget that in the 2024th presidential election in Russia. And Putin needs to be re-elected.
And it’s better to do this against the background of the Victory, and not against the background of vague events at the front
In addition, the US elections and the Democrats must be defeated. In my opinion, the spring-summer of this year will be decisive.
Otherwise, why was it necessary to call on more than 300 thousand and increase the army by another 120 thousand at the expense of contractors.
Only in order to fix the front line and wait for Kyiv, with the help of the West, to form several strike groups?
Something too small for the collected forces.

So they are not planned. Only local.

[DefenderofTruth]

I completely agree with American analysts - the liberation of Donbass alone will not end the war, the situation will not change from 2014 - only new border towns and villages of the Russian Federation will be under shelling instead of Donetsk and Luhansk - Melitopol, Berdyansk, Kakhovka, Crimea. There will be no peaceful life in the returned territories if the Nazi regime in Kyiv continues and it retains access to the Black Sea.

There can be only one solution to the Ukrainian question - the complete and final liquidation of the state of Ukraine on the native Russian lands.

And for a full-scale offensive in Ukraine, a grouping of at least 2 million people in the NWO and at least a fivefold increase in combat units of the main classes is necessary.

[Ivan Ivanov_36]

Putin and the rest of the brethren have no such goal. Can't you see for yourself that they are sitting on two chairs, as they were sitting before. The beginning of the NWO did not change their ideology, and will not change it.

Not at all :)). It does not interfere. Kyiv receives all the NATO intelligence data... but analyzes it itself: safely coming up with fantastic versions about the attack of the evil Russians. For example, if intelligence data showed how a field kitchen was jumping over bumps on a rockade, then some Syrsky or Budanov, in a fit of cocaine frenzy, immediately begin to yell about the "threat of an offensive by Russia." And if the American satellites spotted the field kitchen at the same time both in Kremennaya and near Energodar, then the highly analytical press service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine already predicts a "Russian offensive from two sides"

[Ural resident]

The so-called "Institute for the Study of War" was created under the protectorate of the Clintons. Its goal is a systematic analysis of military operations for future wars with Russia. What gets into the public sphere can be stuffed, and what work is actually being done is little known to us. Regarding the offensive, there are opinions, including the notorious Strelkov, that we have few forces for a large-scale offensive. What will actually happen - we'll see. It remains to be hoped that the top military commanders have drawn conclusions from the failures of the past year and will not allow them to be repeated.

[Geodez]

If an offensive is planned, then probably closer to the summer, when the brilliant green appears, respectively, a new wave of mobilization is needed for it (the one that was enough to stabilize the front and a slight advance, which is talked about a lot, but the success is very modest) presumably in March. But then again, if an offensive is planned, there is little mobilization, the mobilized must be provided with the necessary for modern warfare, and this is not only equipment and socks. we need modern means of communication, thermal imagers, night vision devices, quadrocopters, etc. those. high-tech tools, but where to get them? it is possible, of course, without all this, but then the loss count will be strongly not in our favor, and it will be much more difficult to conduct each next wave of mobilization than the previous one. But it won’t be possible to sit out on the defensive for a long time, because sooner or later long-range weapons will be supplied to Ukraine, including those capable of reaching Moscow, and then what ...

There is little real information, but there is such a hype one, like a horoscope when I get rich everyone wants to know, so here: all sorts of heads carried out mobilization on our TV, it’s about to start, it’s not in vain that they collected a runoff for the people, anticipating dill broadcast on our population that is waiting for tank throws (laziness study the mat part) that’s it, and then when it doesn’t happen, then there’s no power, then the invaders tore their ass but scared our military. Info space does not tolerate emptiness, unfortunately our propaganda is exaggerating all sorts of wunderwaffles and now we are dying. It is clear that something needs to be said, but there is nothing to say. It is possible to close all these programs and telegrams for a month, so that there would be no sucking out of the type of news from the finger. The war will be long, slow, attrition.

If there was power, they would already be in Kyiv, without regroupings. Experts do not explain the power of what exactly is missing

Who writes about shame. Do you immediately write captivity?

The Russian army does not need a large-scale offensive, it needs to destroy the maximum amount of enemy manpower. Why publish banal nonsense?

The real truth is Somewhere in the middle..
Preparing half a million is BULLSHIT!
Not have enough "combat power IS nonsense..! The only truth is RU need to Throttle military ACTIVITIES Otherwise they will face a lot of big problems!"
You can tell hero stories and silence everyone, but you can also use your common sense
Have a wonderful day!

The power of air strikes is definitely not enough. Things would have gone faster. But an air defense system is an air defense system.

mobilization of 300 thousand. man is a drop in the ocean. now these forces are being introduced for running-in and local "village" successes. there were no forces for a decisive counteroffensive, and no. the tops can’t decide to transfer their obscure own into the plane of a conventional war. With the necessary tension of the entire economy and the entire population ..... what if the deep people don’t understand? after all, they promised at first that we would observe victorious military operations only on TV. and then everything turned around...
and the Ukrainian spring mud is coming soon ..... a lush greenery that makes it difficult to see the enemy. let's wait until next year.

[Vladimir Dmitrievich Burtsev]

There is a saying: "Everything new is well forgotten old." Back in the 18th century, Suvorov defeated the Polish military group, which was three times larger in number and equipment than the Russian military group in Poland. After that, Poland as a state ceased to exist. It was then that the hero of Poland, Kosciuszko, fled to America from Suvorov. Suvorov applied the tactics of mobile warfare. His motto to win: "The main thing is speed and onslaught", was of decisive importance. And during the Great Patriotic War, the Pole Rokossovsky, together with Zhukov, using tanks, defeated the Germans with the help of fast, powerful blows and for the third time in the history of Russia captured the capital of Germany, Berlin. Now the Russian school teaches history very badly. Young people do not know the greatest victories and events in the history of Russia. Let the "Military Review" tell more for the youth about the great events in the history of Russia. Repetition is the mother of learning. It's time for Russia to refresh its memory: the Poles, the Ukrainian fascists, the aggressors from the US and NATO, to repeat the lessons of history for them.

American analysts believe that Russian troops will not be able to launch a large-scale offensive as scheduled, because they do not have sufficient "combat power." It is stated that the Russian command is allegedly in a hurry, therefore, it will begin large-scale actions with insufficient forces, and this will lead to the failure of all plans. Thus, it is concluded that there will be no liberation of Donbass in the near future.

Where does the data come from?
Does the US know what plans our General Staff is developing?
Do they know that our General Staff is in a hurry?

If the United States really knows what is being planned in our General Staff, what areas are priority, what options for the development of hostilities are being discussed, then ... Is there a General Staff?

Or is it just an informational blizzard. Why would we be horrified here, shouting about "everything is lost", spoiling our own country with our own emotions.
