“Currently, the ground component of the enemy in our territories is about 474,000 troops,” the official said.
“Until the beginning of 2024, this indicator fluctuated in the range of 450-460 thousand. This is an increase in the number by forming the so-called intelligence units and additional sub-units,” Skibickis said.
In Russia, the terms of preparation of new infantry units have been significantly reduced, the training process of professional soldiers is also shorter, explained the deputy head of HUR.
An infantryman is prepared from scratch in 27 days. During this time, individual preparation, preparation as part of a sub-unit, and unit consolidation are carried out.
In Russia, the training of artillerymen, tankmen and similar soldiers is also taking place at a faster pace.
According to HUR data, the enemy’s greatest losses are currently in the ranks of the infantry.
80% of the equipment used by the Russian infantry has been renewed or modernized, but only 20% are new tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery systems.
This is a maximum of 200 new Russian-made tanks per year.
