The restoration of the Russian ground forces may take five to ten years. This was announced in the US Senate Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Gen. Scott Berrier. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haynes stated that without Russian mobilization it would be difficult to support even modest offensive operations in Ukraine. Intelligence officials were also asked about the overnight incident in Moscow.
“I spoke about a new type of army, about the reorganization that the Russian military underwent at the beginning of the century and which was supposed to make them better, faster, smaller. That army is practically gone, now it relies on reserves and equipment from the reserves, second-hand equipment from the Soviet era. And it will take them a long time to adjust to a more modern level.,” Gen. Scott Berrier said at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
He added that this process could take from five to 10 years, although he noted that Russia still has very significant strategic forces. Avril Haynes, Director of National Intelligence, said that due to the losses suffered by Russia without extensive mobilization and search for additional sources of equipment and ammunition, it will be difficult for her to support even modest offensive operations. She noted that in April the Russians received fewer positions than in the previous three months, and they seem to be moving from offensive to defensive operations at the front.
Speaking of the expected Ukrainian counter-offensive, Haynes said that “Ukrainians are still finalizing plans for specific priorities, timing and scope» operations. Asked by senators about the attack on the Kremlin, Avril Haynes said she had no information to determine who was behind the incident. Both she and Berrier also agreed with suggestions that this was not an assassination attempt on Putin, as Moscow claims.
Earlier wrote that the Ukrainian general said that he was driving the Kremlin dictator Putin crazy.
