The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine expects 150 thousand mobilized Russians arrival. They have to replenish for the losses of the invaders at the front.

This was announced by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov.

“They will still prepare the next 150,000 mobilized Russians for two or three months, and then they will decide how to use it,” Oleksii Reznikov said.

According to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, only since the beginning of the war, the losses of the Russian troops have amounted to more than 50,000 people killed.

At the same time, Oleksii Reznikov noted that the mobilized still need to be “clothed, fed, and armed.”

Reznikov also added that Russia tried to order 200,000 bulletproof vests and 500,000 sets of winter clothing from Turkey through third countries, but received a refusal.

The Minister of Defense of Ukraine emphasized that the Ukrainian General Staff has prepared appropriate plans for possible actions of the enemy.

In connection to the mobilizitation issue, Reznikov noted the neccesity to increase assistance to Ukraine with weapons and ammunition from international partners. In this regard, the head of the Ministry of Defense reminded about the next Ramstein meeting next week in Brussels and the meeting of the ministers of defense.

“They applaud us a lot for our two counteroffensive operations and want to support us,” Reznikov said.

According to him, the manufacturing of weapons and ammunition in Ukraine is also increasing.

Previously, the Russian invasion forces reported that the Russians began to transfer the mobilized soldiers to the occupied parts of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. On October 5, a report by Russian propagandist Roman Klemenyuk, who stated that the mobilized citizens had arrived in the Kherson region for training at the training ground, was released. According to him, they are engaged in fire training, throwing grenades, as well as mastering Russian weapons.

On October 6, there were published similar reports from Russian propagandists, showing those mobilized in the Zaporizhzhia region. They allegedly already have passed basic training near the Russian Federation, and undergo repeated training in Zaporizhzhia.

    Many have already arrived, many have already become part of the losses, the rest will too.

    “On October 6, there were published similar reports from Russian propagandists, showing those mobilized in the Zaporizhzhia region. They allegedly already have passed basic training near the Russian Federation, and undergo repeated training in Zaporizhzhia.”

    And as soon as they buy their winter uniforms, food, ammo and tampons, they’ll get to go and die for their Führer.

  2. New Types Of Ammunition Make Ukraine’s HIMARS Far Deadlier
    The rockets launched by Ukraine’s HIMARS are the M31 Unitary Warhead, a 196-pound weapon “effective against critical point targets.” GPS-aided precision means the M31 can hit a specific target such as a building or ammunition dump.
    They have received the M30A1 munitions.The secret of the M30A1 lies in a huge number of tungsten BBs arranged around an explosive core – about 182,000 of them. The design is from a technology known as Lethality Enhanced Ordnance developed by Orbital ATK, later acquired by Northrop GrummanNOC. This approach uses computer modeling to calculate the optimum size, number, density and placement of fragments to ensure that a warhead produces the maximum possible effect against a specific type of target. The developers claim that the M30A1 produces the same sort of lethality as the cluster warhead. This blanketed an area of over four football fields per rocket, so a salvo of six would blanket half a square mile.Russia’s 300,000 new conscripts are likely to suffer heavy casualties as soon as they arrive.
