“This is truly a super task”: Shurygin named the main problem of mobilization
For mobilized Russian citizens, the educational and material base available in the country should be sufficient.
Military publicist Vladislav Shurygin stated this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In my opinion, the army should have enough training and material resources. Our army is recruited on a mixed basis - it includes both contract soldiers and conscripts. In spring and autumn, 130-150 thousand people are conscripted, and they immediately begin to train.
Accordingly, we have the training base itself, but, of course, taking into account the law on partial mobilization, it will have to be expanded. The Russian army will not stop training conscripts, plus we are now actually expanding our Ground Forces by almost forty percent. I don’t think that this is some kind of overwhelming task,” Shurygin told Moskovsky Komsomolets.
However, the expert says, there are also problematic issues.
“There is another, in my opinion, more acute problem - all these people need to be accommodated somewhere. It will be necessary to deploy new garrisons, new locations, and military units.
The question arises: where to get three hundred thousand body armor for these people, four hundred to five hundred tanks, thousands of guns, tens of thousands of other weapons. And all this will need to be received as soon as possible, within three to four months. This is truly a super task that we will have to cope with,” the analyst emphasizes.
