Armed Forces needed people: a stock colonel told who to mobilize

The Ukrainian military, a reserve colonel and a participant of the war with the Russian Federation Roman Svitan in a comment "TSN" told whether they would really "take away" all. The expert stressed that quality is more important than quantity. According to him, one professional at the front can replace about a hundred soldiers. "Therefore, we need to set ourselves the task of creating a professional army. Even in the conditions in which we are now," the reserve colonel emphasized.

He explained that Ukraine needs "professional armed forces, not mobilization. " "That is, one thing from the street of people to take and put, and the other - to recruit professionals. Only then can we talk about defense capability," the military added. He assured that the Armed Forces were not fighting "meat storms", as this would need tens of millions of soldiers. "We need at least 300-350 thousand highly skilled professionals and the latest equipment. From aircraft, ending with certain land.

Svitan said. He is convinced that it is better to be able to mobilize such people on their own. "I will explain the example of pilots. How much do they need? for example. For example. Because it must first be selected and then prepared. The flight warehouse is prepared from five to 11 years, depending on the qualification. And we already need professionals, " - the expert said. The stock colonel is convinced that you can start creating a professional army now.

To do this, you need to start mobilization of law enforcement officers and security forces. "Servicemen who have been at war for the second year to be sent to the rear for the tasks of the civil service. He emphasized that the defenders who have been serving on the front for more than half a year should be "released" to the rear. "Every half a year, you need to rotate, remove a person from the front line.

Otherwise you will get a person who will be very difficult to integrate into civil society," Svitan warned. Also, according to the reserve colonel, Ukraine should expand the set of motivated people into the army. In particular, through recruitment companies and centers directly in brigades. "The motivation must be financial. And a particular social package. This can all immediately include civil service as such.

In this mode, we will be able to complete two tasks and will not pay attention to the quantitative composition. We will set the task of having professionals who perform combat missions. may even have to cut the armed forces, ”the expert added. Svitan is convinced that there are more law enforcement officers in Ukraine now. At the same time, they are all suitable for service and have skills such as weapons.

According to the military, now there are approximately 20 million security officers out of 40. Up to half of these people can be called in rotations. "Optimally, this is a third. A third is to send, two -thirds remaining inside. And in such a rotary mode, half a year - the next third," Svitan said. The stock colonel is convinced that all or all Ukrainians do not need to fight. "There are much more people in Russia than we have.

Therefore, this path does not even make it possible to speak," he explained. According to the expert, professionals have to fight. This does not require a huge number of them. "One percent in any population is born warriors. So they need to be found and attracted. One percent of the population is about 350,000 people. It is the army we need," Svitan added. Recall that journalists have access to the key points of the new bill on mobilization prepared by people's deputies and the military.
