Exaggerate successes: the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation uses outdated maps - ISW
According to American analysts, several Russian military bloggers mentioned the differences of true hostilities cards from those that guide the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. According to one of the bloggers, this explains cases where Russian forces do not strike on the clusters of the Ukrainian military near the front line. The Russian blogger claims that the military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have a "real" card.
According to him, the military receive orders to attack to bring the "true" card to the one that guides the General Staff. Another blogger wrote that Russian commanders on the forefront seek to achieve tactical success, which are already assigned to the mentioned maps, because the General Staff increasingly requires positive reports from them.
The authors of the report also noted that Russian military reviewers regularly criticize the commanders of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for broadcasting false reports to the authorities, including exaggeration of success. According to them, the General Staff encourages such practice.
We will remind, on October 27 the head of operational management of the General Staff of Estonia Tarmo Kundla stated that now Russian troops seek to activate their efforts to achieve at least minimal success. This happens as part of a campaign to create a positive image for Vladimir Putin. Earlier, on October 26, military expert Robert Clark noted that the offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on Avdiivka is a strategic and political failure of the invaders' command.
