According to the report, the soldiers are so fed up with this bloody war that immediately after its end, mass dismissals from the army will begin. For the Kremlin, this will be a disaster." What will happen to the guys after the end of the SVO? And who will serve? A lot of men are planning to retire, professional soldiers. They've had their fill of trenches and all that... After the war, they'll be driven to the training ground.
The report said that they needed to raise a new army. A new type of army and people will start retiring. And who will serve? The conscripts? Those with life sentences will reach the rank of general. They never think they'll let everyone go at once. There will be a problem with commanders then," Sladkov said. It should be noted that today there are no signs that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to end the war.
On the contrary, his army is persistently trying to advance, and he is issuing unacceptable ultimatums to Kyiv to capitulate. Recall, Russia’s offensive in eastern Ukraine has been particularly bloody, with US intelligence reports of casualty numbers of up to 1,000 per day, dead and wounded. This calls to mind the “meat grinder” tactics of previous Russian and Soviet military campaigns.
The “meat grinder” is a collective battlefield approach that values high troop density and intensity to overwhelm the enemy. It is a uniquely Russian approach nine decades in the making, consisting of a combination too much older strategies, namely attrition and mass mobilization. At the heart of attrition is the notion of abundance.
The report added that the opponent is physically and psychologically exhausted by the sheer force of numbers, as wave after wave of cannon fodder is relentlessly deployed. Mass mobilization is the large-scale movement of troops to a particular location to overpower the adversary. Neither approach recognizes the intrinsic value of individual lives. The “meat grinder” became embedded in Soviet military tactics. The phrase “quantity has a quality of its own” has apocryphal roots in Stalin’s leadership during the Second World War. Key battles such as Stalingrad and Kursk involved the deployment of millions of soldiers, and the Soviet army eventually crushed the Nazi blitzkrieg through the sheer weight of numbers on the eastern front.
