Russia has enough human resources to continue war at same pace for long time - head of Estonian intelligence Grosberg
The intelligence center of the Estonian Defense Forces believes that Russia has enough human reserves to maintain the status quo at the front.
This was reported by the Head of the Intelligence Center of the Estonian Defense Forces, Colonel Margo Grosberg, Censor.NET reports with reference to ERR.
Grosberg noted that although Russia is not doing as well with its reserves as the Ukrainians, it will be able to attract an additional 190,000 people as part of the recruitment to the armed forces announced on April 1.
The publication notes that although the Russian leadership has set itself the goal of recruiting 400,000 people to the army, even half of this number will be enough to restore losses.
Grosberg reminded that Estonian intelligence estimates the losses of the Russian Federation at 130,000-140,000 servicemen killed and seriously wounded.
"If it is possible to recruit about 190,000 more people by the end of the year, it will make it possible to replenish losses, which means prolonging the war, but at the same time it will allow the Russian political leadership not to announce mobilization, as it was done in September last year. At this rate of recruitment the status quo can be maintained, as it was throughout this year," he summarized.
