Russia has 200,000 men in fighting. That’s too little for a war against a country size of Ukraine.
If Putin makes general mobilization he can add 700,000 men.
Special military operation is over.
I am curious why he will call this war?
What he will arm them with?
Russia lost like half of its relatively decent armour, and the rest is in Ukraine already, or in places from which it will take months to get it.
Or it can send more of its police into action. Russia, just like China, has more, and better trained police force than the regular military.
But again, no armour beside unarmed police APCs.
Ukraine will push entire 2-3 divisions made of territorials being turned into regular troops now, with 2+ armour brigades, with tons of new drones, artillery, air defence, NATO standard infantry kits. The only thing they still really miss is air support, and TBMs.
I bet they are willing to wait 1 month+ to mount a textbook counteroffensive.
Once they will rush through most undermanned directions, they will capture even more Russian armour, AA, and artillery.
The mounting counteroffensive is a matter of time. Fuel caches are already being made near the frontline.
