Thousands of captives and full failure: why Putin is afraid of mobilization in

For Alexander Kovalenko's military observer, it is absolutely clear why Putin does not go to another mobilization. There are two reasons, one of which is purely psychological and the other is purely technical. Concerning possible mobilization in Russia. For understanding, Putin's mobilization is imposed since the spring of this year. Especially when the losses were exceeded for 30 thousand bodies a month. But he does not go to this step, and that's why.

First, Putin is well aware of the difference between the body that voluntarily goes to kill Ukrainians for reward and evaluates the risks also to die, and the body that is forcibly sent to fight. The body that is forcibly sent to the war will be captured for the first possible possibility. The most striking example of the last days is the Courses from the Kursk region.

For a week of fighting - almost 2 thousand prisoners! Imagine forced mobilization in Russia by 300 thousand, and if 10% of them are captured - this is a exchange fund and a catastrophe for the regime! Secondly, what to complete them? Already in the Russian army, the lack of equipment in existing units-60%-70%! And if yet, suppose, plus 300,000 bodies, where is the equipment for their completion? That is, they will not be able to perform combat tasks and will be both more perished, and even more captured because of a sense of bent and a sense of defeat.
