[ColonelCassad] Partial mobilization ends
Due to the achievement of the planned targets for the call of 300,000 people, the notification of citizens about the conduct of partial mobilization is terminated from today.
After the start of partial mobilization, 95,000 people have already been sent to the NWO zone - 82,000 mobilized and 13,000 volunteers.
Another 218,000 mobilized continue to train and coordinate on military training grounds. The declared figure for the mobilization of 300,000 people has been reached. At the current rate of dispatch, we can expect a significant increase in manpower of the RF Armed Forces at the front in the second half of November.
Putin acknowledged the mistakes made during the partial mobilization, pointing out that they were inevitable.
It is necessary to modernize the entire system of work of military registration and enlistment offices, mistakes were inevitable, since mobilization has not been carried out for a long time (c) Putin
The system itself, in the form in which it is being activated now, has not been activated in our country since the time of Stalin. And if in the USSR, before the start of the collapse, it was still maintained in a more or less adequate state, then in the "holy 90s" and later, when "Russia went to the West", if they were engaged in it, then according to the residual principle, since to fight with the West was not supposed, and the war was looked at as conflicts of professional high-tech contract armies in third world countries.
There was practically no preparation for a big war in Europe on a front of 1000+ kilometers, which actually requires such measures, which causes many of the problems already identified (not only in mobilization measures). As usual, overcoming problems is already in the process. The fact that the authorities almost immediately recognized the existing jambs, which are objective, that's good. It would be much worse if they pretended that everything was fine.
Recognizing mistakes and problems is the first step to fixing them. And even now one can see how a number of problems identified at the beginning of the mobilization have either been eliminated or are in the process of being eliminated. Of course, there are still a lot of problems in terms of supply, organization and coordination. It is impossible to fix a problem that has decades of prerequisites in a month of active work.
The publications in Telegram with the questions “How to check whether 300,000 people were really called up for partial mobilization are smiling a lot? What if the authorities are hiding the TRUTH ?!”
In fact, in war conditions, mobilization issues are a matter of military secrecy and are part of a long-term strategy, where the least of all someone cares about the awareness of bored citizens from the Internet.
And in the conditions of war, any sane state deals with both the issues of concealing important military information and the issues of disinformation of the enemy. Therefore:
1. You can declare that you have scored 300,000, and call for 1,300,000
2. You can claim that you have scored 300,000, and call for 250,000.
250,000 or as many as 1,300,000.
4. You can declare 300,000, call for 300,000 and do nothing beyond that.
This can and should be done both to hide information about the real parameters of mobilization, and to misinform the enemy in order to cause him to underestimate or overestimate the parameters of mobilization. The effectiveness of such measures can have a significant impact on the course and outcome of hostilities.
War is a way of deception. Players with open cards do not live long in this world.
