The British Ministry of Defense said Saturday that the latest intelligence reports from the UK suggest that Russia is facing serious difficulties in training soldiers recruited in the latest partial mobilization and the annual autumn conscription.
According to the official Twitter account, the Russian Armed Forces were already on edge before these latest recruitments by providing training to the 300,000 troops of the partial mobilization announced in mid-September.
British Intelligence estimates that these serious problems will be aggravated in the coming days by the autumn recruitment which began on November 1 and which is expected to bring together some 12,000 additional troops.
As a result, they point out that the newly recruited soldiers are likely to go to the battlefield with little or no training. This is because the large volume of new recruits is compounded by the fact that many experienced officers and trainers have been killed in the conflict while being deployed to Ukraine.
In addition, they have conveyed that Russian troops are conducting training in Belarus due to the lack of training personnel, ammunition and facilities in Russia. The Ministry concludes at the end of the assessment that the deployment of poorly trained forces provides little additional offensive combat capability, so Russia would be weakened.
