They will just fall into disrepair.

Defense Express editor-in-chief Oleh Katkov believes that Russia may lose some of its mobilized military on the way to Ukraine. He said this during the air on Espresso.

“At present, the number of personnel matters much less than 70 years ago. However, the size of the army always plays a key role in the course of hostilities. Especially when the army is counterattacking. Another important aspect of the Russian mobilization is that many Russians will not make it to Ukraine. Many of the mobilized will be unfit for combat after a long transfer to the front,” Katkov added.

The editor-in-chief of Defense Express warns that this threat should not be disregarded, though.

“The times when it was possible to fight with a mass of people with rifles and several machine guns per regiment are long gone. However, this threat should not be ignored. The number of personnel is always of great importance,” he explained.
