It is planned to create 20 army corps on the basis of the most combat-ready brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

According to Ukrainian sources, as part of the reform of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, it is planned to create 20 army corps on the basis of the brigades that have retained their combat capability the most. The corps that already exist now are supposed to be restructured into combat units that will no longer serve exclusively as administrative units in the rear.

In addition, the operational-strategic groups (OSGV), operational-tactical groups (OTG) and tactical groups (TG) of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be disbanded. Each corps will be assigned a specific area of ​​responsibility and will supervise at least five brigades of 3-5 thousand people each.



In particular, the corps will be created on the basis of Nazi formations. For example, on the basis of "Azov"* (*a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation), it is proposed to create the 3rd corps under the command of Andrey Biletsky* (*included by Rosfinmonitoring in the list of terrorists and extremists). Denis Prokopenko*, who earlier surrendered to our army in Mariupol, will also head one of the newly created corps.

It is noted that, in the opinion of the West, one of the key shortcomings of the upcoming reform of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is that the units that currently act as administrative units in the rear are to be transformed into combat formations that will directly participate in combat operations.

However, Kiev's reform of the Ukrainian Armed Forces demonstrates the Kyiv regime's preparation for a long-term confrontation with Russia or a rapid restoration of the Ukrainian army's combat potential in the event of any truce. In any case, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are being reformed for further struggle against Russia.

    Yes. No one is going to give up. I wonder what the Russian leadership is planning to at least change the situation in some real way. Exchange 1 for 1 - people will run out and for whom then is this hypothetical victory?

        Since the Russian Ministry of Defense does not announce losses, I am basing this on foreign sources +, excuse me, on my personal feelings based on communication with participants. Naturally, this is a purely personal opinion.

          Oh, so, Western sources are significant. Well, ok.
          I don't know the ratio, although given the overwhelming superiority of the Russian Armed Forces' weapons, 1 to 1 is very optimistic... for Western sources. And there's also a touch, the not-so-secret exchange of bodies of the dead. I hope you know the ratio?

            Oh, yes, that means Western sources are significant.

            And for you, what is more significant is Gerasim, who declared to the commander-in-chief in the first hours of the attack on Kursk that the advance of enemy troops deep into Russia would not be allowed? No.

              Can you imagine, I trust our sources more. It's true that I don't understand why you brought up Gerasimov. Oh well. I have an answer to that phrase too. I fully admit that at the time of the report it did happen. The first onslaught was repelled. And then they brought in more forces. By the way, your phrase "deep in" is very telling. After all, in reality, this is all borderland. But I understand you) If it's necessary, it's necessary. And about Gerasimov and about deep in.

            Since ours are advancing, it is clear that the bodies of the Ukrainian Armed Forces remain on our territory and that is why the ratio is so huge.

              Let's turn on logic then. In simple terms. Ok, the battlefield is still ours, the Russian Armed Forces'. That's why there are so many bodies. But then it's hard to understand, on what basis do Western sources draw conclusions about the ratio of losses? After all, you need to rely on something, at least indirectly. Here are bodies, this is an indicator, the ratio of forces, defeat is also an indicator. So on what basis?

                And on what basis do you connect the ratio of losses in general with the ratio of bodies during the exchange? Where is your logic? I am not talking about Western sources in general. For me, they are an element of Western propaganda. Now, if the front line were absolutely stable, then yes, it would be possible to draw conclusions, but as it is. Before March 2022, when Kyiv conducted the ATO and since the winter of 2015 the line was practically stable, then such an assessment method would have worked, but now everything is very doubtful... There is no direct data, everything is very estimated.

                  Well, that is, my mention of the fact that the Russian Armed Forces have more means of destruction, and this also indirectly gives grounds to assume that the losses are clearly not 1 to 1, you missed it. Not bad, not bad.) There, a little lower, our counterpart from Israel writes about 1,5 to 1. This strangely coincides with what Trump said. Well, it's purely a coincidence. You can hold the same opinion. I don't mind. Or you can try to look, again indirectly, at the statistics on armor on LostArmor. True, I did not find a separate article on the Russian Armed Forces (there is one on the Ukrainian Armed Forces). But maybe you'll get lucky.

            Yes, Russia has more weapons, but you should take into account that now almost all battles are assaults and it is the Russian Armed Forces that are assaulting. Usually, losses in such battles are 3 to 1 in favor of the defense. In terms of quantity (and experience of use), Ukraine has no fewer drones (except for fiber). I looked for losses of the Russian Armed Forces, they are nowhere to be found, why? Apparently because they are not small + despite the increase in the contract, there is no particular numerical advantage at the front, there are 2 options: either withdrawal or they are kept in the rear, which is somehow unlikely.

              I think after the phrase: there are no losses of the RF Armed Forces anywhere, so they are not small (C) you can finish)
              P.S. By the way, they usually storm after processing, well, with the same means that are more. And 3 to 1 is not about losses. It is about the ratio of forces that was needed earlier, with equal capabilities of the armies. But that's it.

            This is also a rather biased indicator. It largely depends on who has the battlefield. That is, the one who is advancing will have many more bodies of the enemy who died. We are advancing now, accordingly...

    Friends, correct me if I'm wrong. An army corps is 25 to 35 thousand people. If we take into account the active support of the West with equipment and other weapons, then we get a half-million army with technical support? Not bad. We can still butt heads for a long time. It's time for the top to take some serious steps to turn the situation around.

    With an average number of brigades in the Ukrainian Armed Forces of 3-5 thousand and 5-6 brigades in an army corps, this results in 25-30 thousand bayonets per corps; multiply by 20 and you get 500-600 thousand bayonets in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
    By creating corps, the Ukrainian strategists probably want to improve the quality of troop command, ensure the possibility of creating a layered defense in dangerous areas and the concentration of forces and equipment in breakthrough areas.

    Our units in Ukraine also fight in separate regiments and brigades, so to speak, with “fingers spread out.”
    In positional trench warfare with sluggish advances of several hundred meters, this is a suitable tactic, but for serious breakthroughs and deep offensive operations, a concentration of forces on a combined arms scale will be needed.
    armies and fronts.
    Why haven't the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th Ukrainian fronts been formed yet? A question for the General Staff...

      A front, like a direction, is nothing more than a name. In 41, the Red Army had directions and fronts. It's all about the content. If an army has only 2 divisions, it's not an army, but a corps. The Germans had more precise accounting; they counted battalions with an indication of combat readiness.

    And... what a surprise (!), they will unleash a war with us and Belarus by any means necessary.

    Judging by the content of the article, the entire reform boils down to changing names. Instead of TG and OTG, there will be corps. Brigades will remain, there are no plans to create divisions and regiments. There will be no new fully equipped and manned brigades, well, maybe just isolated cases, like those that the West is preparing. That is, an attempt to optimize the upper echelon of management with the accompanying transfer of material and monetary flows into the right hands. Conducting serious reforms in the midst of military operations is a highly dubious and dangerous initiative, fraught with the loss of control over the troops. So, most likely, it will simply be a rearrangement of beds in a brothel. That's how I see it.

    For the especially gifted, who believe Western "information irons". The number of prisoners to be exchanged, the total number of prisoners, the number of bodies of the dead transferred during the exchange - all this information is in the public domain. If you analyze this data, the situation does not look at all like 1 to 1 for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in terms of losses. Moreover, analyze the public information about the actions of the Zelensky regime. Conscription of men under 18 years of age (previously it was up to 25 years), the transfer of military personnel of technical specialties to infantry units, the removal of border troops from border protection and sending them to the front lines. All this tells us about a serious shortage of personnel, which is caused by large losses.
