“Adding new forces to these units of the Russian military is unlikely to increase their combat power,” says the Institute for the Study of War
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said in a new report that the Russian authorities they send to Ukrainian front untrained conscripts to reinforce the remnants of various units.
They even include once elite units, such as the 1st Tank Regiment of the 1st Tank Army.
“The 1st Tank Army was considered Russia’s premier mechanized force prior to February 24, and the fact that its ranks are bolstered with poorly disciplined, untrained men is consistent with ISW’s previous assessments that even Russia’s most elite units have suffered significant losses in Ukraine and are therefore weakening more and more,” the report comments.
Indeed, according to ISW, “the addition of new forces to these units of the Russian army is unlikely to increase their fighting power.”
In addition, there are complaints that in addition to being undertrained, the Russian soldiers are also not adequately equipped.
