On the battlefield of Russia and Ukraine, many people believe that the strength of the Ukrainian army is very weak, even weaker than Syria , Libyan , and its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Taliban guerrillas. Ukrainian Army is basically the level of scattered soldiers who are defeated.
In fact, the Ukrainian Army is the largest in Europe, with the Ukrainian Army and National Guard field troops as many as 500,000, while British Army has only 100,000, German Army .105 million, and French Army 210,000, which is not as large as the Ukrainian Army.
is Russian Army In February, it had a scale of only 280,000 people, which was far less than the scale of the Ukrainian 500,000 Army and National Guard field troops. When the Russian-Ukraine War broke out, the Ukrainian army had 29 regular military brigades, which were basically mechanized and motorized troops, and were fully equipped with 4,000-5,000 people in a brigade.
is the 61st Hunting Brigade organized by Light Infantry , which is still equipped with tank battalions and Artillery Regiment . The Ukrainian army has a total of 1,600 active tanks and 1,000 early T-64 models in hand. Ukraine has initially established a three-level mobilization and reserve system from 2016 to 2020. The Ukrainian army has 12 Class I reserve brigades, and veterans of these Class I reserve brigades have to train for one month every year.
In addition, the Ukrainian army also has 150 national defense battalions and Asush, Right Bank, Siren and the 4th Mobile Brigade and other National Guard field troops. By war, these troops can immediately become regular combat troops.
Although the Ukrainian Army was relatively backward, the Ukrainian Army, the second Soviet leader, was relatively large in scale and had stronger technical and tactical capabilities. During the 2018 NATO joint determination exercise, one Ukrainian army's MAF company blocked the attack of five mechanized infantry companies in NATO, and caused NATO to lose three companies.
In 2018, NATO interlaced saber joint exercise, one company of the 95th Airborne Brigade of the Ukrainian Army blocked the attacks of three NATO mechanized infantry companies with strong firepower support. At the same time, a company of the 95th Airborne Brigade of the Ukrainian Army also penetrated and destroyed a NATO command center on both sides.
In 2021, NATO jointly determined to help the military. The NATO army surrounded a company of the 92nd Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army, but the final result was that the 92nd Mechanized Brigade withstood.
In fact, if a simple ground war is carried out, NATO will not be the opponent of Ukraine in Europe. France and Germany also do not have thousands of cruise missiles and ballistic missiles that can strike Ukrainian deep targets.
At the same time, as the United States and NATO are arming Ukraine and carrying out various battlefield intelligence cooperation with Ukraine, the strength of the Ukrainian army is actually growing. So, for Russia, Ukraine after militarization is a huge threat.
In the early days of the war, the Russian army drew most of the 280,000 contract soldiers and all paratroopers of the army. Marines gathered more than 100,000 field troops, plus tens of thousands of armed forces in the eastern Ukraine, a total of 200,000 troops. However, this little force of the Russian army did not successfully defeat Ukraine. Because on the battlefield, Ukraine has more troops and has a bonus for defense advantages. 200,000 people cannot be wiped out 500,000.
Subsequently, the Russian army mobilized tens of thousands of volunteer soldiers to form the 3rd legion to participate in the war, but it still couldn't. Finally, the Russian army began to expand 130,000 contract troops, and at the same time began military mobilization, mobilizing 300,000 reserve troops . The Russian army increased the ground troops to more than 700,000, which would have a severe blow or annihilated attack on the Ukrainian army.
If Russia can destroy the Ukrainian army, this NATO's largest agent military group, then Russia will actually have no opponent in Europe.
Once Ukraine has such a large land area, so many populations, so many NATO military aid, and hundreds of thousands of troops have been severely damaged and eliminated by the Russian army. So, how could Baltic and those small and small countries and widows in Eastern Europe dare to fight against Russia? Russia is not killing a chicken to warn the monkey, but trying to warn the tiger to warn the monkey.
Therefore, Russia proposed the goal of demilitarization. Therefore, in Europe, the only thing that can pose a threat to Russia on the ground is actually Ukraine. Therefore, before the United States and NATO fully armed the Ukrainian army, Russia must take action first.
