The russian federation is preparing to send approximately 300,000 unprepared mobilized men to the front by the end of the year. This was stated by the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Robert Brovdi.
According to his words, after another round of electoral procedures in russia, the covert conscription is rapidly transitioning into a legal and forced phase.
“Putin will do this quickly, without proper preparation of the mobilization resource… Forced loading of manpower into railcars will begin — unprepared mobilized men who will arrive in Ukraine to die here,” the commander emphasized.
He specified that a significant increase in enemy numbers is expected as early as next month:
“Around 300,000 units of manpower just within the remainder of the year — October, November, December. These are the forces that Putin can readily mobilize, equip, and send to the front with virtually no training.”
Ukrainian forces are already recording the consequences of the covert conscription — in just the first half of September alone, occupier personnel losses increased by 25% compared to August.
“As of today, the forces of my grouping are killing one enemy battalion every day. Going forward, this figure will simply grow more dynamically. We are ready to receive those unlimited portions of canned meat,” noted the head of the UAS Forces.
Currently, over 85% of enemy targets directly on the battlefield are struck by drones. At the same time, 95% of the UAS Forces’ efforts are focused on the tactical level of the front line, while 5% are dedicated to long-range strikes deep into russia (up to 3,000 km), destroying the enemy’s defense-industrial complex and energy infrastructure facilities.
The commander also commented on the response to new threats, in particular the emergence of russian jet-powered ‘Shaheds’:
“We are no longer talking about development, but about the deployment of the first means that were very rapidly developed by Ukrainian engineers… with successful shoot-downs. It is a matter of a certain period of time before this task is resolved.”
