The probability of a general conscription into the Russian army is low, say Nestka’s sources in power. They attribute this to a lack of resources, but predict a second wave of partial mobilization in the winter.
Shortly after the start of partial mobilization, it became obvious that in order to call up even more military personnel, it was necessary to “transfer the economy to a military footing,” because now it does not seem realistic to provide everyone with the necessary uniforms, weapons, medicines, provisions, to accommodate and train, the interlocutor told Layout in the presidential administration. “There are already a lot of people, but there are no machine guns, body armor, sleeping bags, cars,” he says.
There are no organizational or material resources for full mobilization, or even any large-scale second wave of mobilization, an interlocutor in the leadership of the Far Eastern Federal District explained to Layout. “Even the first wave is “digested” with difficulty,” he stressed. “People will have nowhere to train, nothing to arm them with, and in some cases even food.”
Instead of full mobilization, a winter second wave of partial mobilization is planned. Now there is a hasty “patching holes” associated with the production and preparation of essential items for soldiers, as well as weapons and other equipment. At the same time, the information system in the military commissariats is being modernized. The expectation is that by the next wave of conscription, which may begin after the New Year, the commissariats will come much more prepared, with accurate lists of those to be mobilized. Just as quickly, new centers for the mobilized are being prepared in the regions and new military instructors and military training specialists are being trained, the source added.
