[REGNUM] First of all, the Russian Army needs technical specialists. This was stated on September 26 in an interview with IA REGNUM by a military observer, researcher at IMEMO RAS Ilya Kramnik .

"Based on observations, I can assume that these are complex technical specialties - tankers, artillerymen, communications specialists, intelligence specialists, etc. for military-technical intelligence. These are doctors and drivers, without whom the army, in principle, cannot live," the expert said.

The larger the army, the more will be needed, Kramnik believes.

Also, in his opinion, there is a great need for rear servicemen, who are little talked about, but they will need a lot of things, starting with provisions.

"If we assume that an adult man eats two kilograms of food per day, then a group of 300,000 people will require 600 tons of food per day. And that's just food! Some part of the mobilized specialists should be from the rear specialists, who will provide these 600 tons of food per day, not counting everything else," concluded the expert.

Recall that earlier, on September 21, 2022, the President of Russia promulgated a Decree on partial mobilization in Russia.

My kid and I, working through math last night, "Dad, when will I ever use this?"

#2  Those specialist people? Not going to get by with some 43-year-old reservist conscript grabbed off the street and given 2 weeks of refresher training before dumping him into an unfamiliar unit in Ukraine as a replacement.

Thats a recipe fo casualties.

#1  ...Remember the old saying - Amateurs study tactics, professionals study logistics.

And keep in mind too that even in the Cold War days, the Russians planned to use some captured NATO stocks.
