Retired Colonel Maciej Korowaj assessed that the 17.1 trillion rubles earmarked for defense in the Russian budget for 2027 does not constitute a barrier to mobilization, but it does not signal it either. He pointed out that the overt mobilization stance remains marginal, and the contract model is exhausting its social base. In his opinion, part of the increase in defense spending may stem from transferring payments for the wounded and the families of the deceased to this sector, which were previously included in a classified section called "Social Policy." This would mean that part of the growth finances the costs of losses, rather than new capabilities. Korowaj wrote that, regardless of the budget, Russia's legal-administrative capacity to mobilize people is increasing. He noted that a decree from December 30, 2025, directed contract reservists to protect critical facilities in 2026, and a decree from July 27, 2026, increased the armed forces' personnel by 25,000, to 1,535,000 soldiers. According to him, this was the third such increase in the year, formally tied to the creation of military-construction units. He also referenced an assessment by the Ukrainian HUR that Russia aims to recruit about 600,000 people in 2026–2027, utilizing the electronic register and digital summonses, which would enable mobilization without public announcement. Korowaj identified the system's capacity as the main limitation. He wrote that Russian losses currently amount to 30,000–35,000 killed or wounded per month, and according to NATO estimates, most recruits still end up on the front lines as reinforcements. With an intake of about 30,000 people per month, the army, in his opinion, is essentially restoring its personnel rather than creating surpluses for new formations. Citing OSINT, he noted that 4,799 out of 7,342 pre-war tanks stored in depots had been used, leaving about 19% remaining. Korowaj assessed that in the short term, it would be possible to draft several hundred thousand people as reinforcements and rear echelon personnel, but not quickly create a second army capable of maneuver warfare. He emphasized that mass mobilization would require the identification, selection, training, and equipping of hundreds of thousands of individuals, while the military apparatus is busy sustaining the front. He also referred to a report by Andrei Belousov for Vladimir Putin from December 2025: in 2025, five divisions, 13 brigades, and 30 regiments were to be formed, while four divisions, 14 brigades, and 39 regiments were planned for 2026. He pointed to the establishment of the 44th Army Corps in Karelia, the elevation of brigades to the rank of divisions, including the 71st Guards Mechanized Division on the Kola Peninsula, and a rocket brigade with Iskanders. In his view, these formations mainly consisted of conscripts and trained reinforcements. He added that according to Finnish sources, the expansion of bases in Petrozavodsk, Pechenga, and Baltiysk would enable the support of 80,000–115,000 soldiers only after the war in Ukraine concludes. Korowaj agreed with the ISW assessment that, in the short term, ground operations against NATO are unlikely, as the majority of Russia's potential is engaged in Ukraine. He also cited a report from a closed NATO briefing in Ankara, during which an Alliance representative purportedly spoke about the re-establishment of the Leningrad and Moscow Military Districts, at least one new corps, and three divisions, but also mentioned a lack of signs of an intention to conduct a rapid attack. He concluded that the budget finances a long war with Ukraine and creates opportunities for the period after it is frozen, but it does not indicate preparations for an attack on NATO or a withdrawal of the Kremlin from such an option. #Rosja #wojna #defensywa (translated)

Russland scheint das Kriegsende anzustreben. Seit dem Sommer bombardiert Russland nahezu durchgehend mit massiven kombinierten Drohnen- und Raketenangriffen, militärische Einrichtungen, Lagerhäuser, Züge, Bahnhöfe, Nahrungsfabriken für Rationen und alles, was den Nachschub an die Front unterstützt. Zu der großen Masse der Drohnen wird vermehrt mit schwer abzuwehrenden Staustrahldrohnen wie der Geran angegriffen, mit Marschflugkörpern und sogar mit ballistischen Raketen. Hauptziel scheint die Region rund um Kiew und die Stadt selbst zu sein. Aber auch Charkiw, Odessa, Mykolajiw, Saporischschja, Poltawa, Sumy, Dnipropetrowsk werden ständig und schwer angegriffen. Der ukrainische Abgeordnete Oleksij Hontscharenko sagte, Russland habe inzwischen die volle Lufthoheit über Kiew. Die Luftabwehr scheint erschöpft oder dauerhaft überwältigt zu sein. Zusätzlich testet Russland gerade neuentwickelte Mittelstreckenraketen der weiterentwickelten Iskander-Klasse mit 800 km Reichweite. Gegen diese Raketen gibt es kaum Abwehr. Das Ziel der Dauerbombardements von Kiew ist klar. Man schickt eine deutliche Nachricht nach Kiew, dass die Party jetzt vorbei ist, bei der durch den Krieg reich gewordene Politiker in Kiew im Luxus schwelgen und ihre Söhne feiern, während die Armen an der Front sterben. Und Russland vernichtet den Nachschub für die Front, bevor der Winter anbricht. Russland führt seit vier Jahren einen Abnutzungskrieg gegen die NATO, nicht gegen die Ukraine. Die liefert das Menschenmaterial. Aufgebraucht werden größtenteils die Waffen und die Munition der NATO-Staaten. Russland gewinnt diesen Krieg bereits seit vier Jahren. Das sieht man daran, dass sich eine 1000 km lange Front immer nur in eine Richtung verschiebt. Langsam, aber stetig. Dass uns als der NATO die Munition fast ausgegangen ist, darauf deutet die Entwicklung im Iran-Konflikt hin. Normalerweise hätte die USA die Munition, um das Land von oben bis unten platt zu machen. Aber haben sie nicht. Die Ukraine verballert seit vier Jahren aus allen Rohren die Munition so schnell, wie sie nur kann, und Israel hat unter anderem mit erheblich US-Munitions- und Bombenbeständen im Nahen Osten die Gebäude in Gaza so lange bombardiert, bis nur noch Pulver übrig war. Der Krieg gegen die Hisbollah und den Libanon hat weitere erhebliche Munitionsmengen gekostet. Und jetzt stehen wir vor einem Kriegswinter mit Russland. Die Munition ist knapp. Die Luftverteidigung am Boden, der Nachschub wird gerade zerstört. Der Pulverdampf über Kiew riecht nach Kapitulation. Und bei all dem darf man Putin und seinen Stolz nicht vergessen. Putin ist jetzt 73 Jahre alt. Der Mann ist nicht nur ein Geschichtsnerd, sondern sein komplettes Handeln ist immer darauf ausgerichtet, wie ihn die Geschichtsschreiber einst sehen werden. Das ist kein Mann, der einen unvollendeten Krieg unter seinem Kapitel im Geschichtsbuch stehen haben möchte. #Russland #Ukraine #Kriegsende

Das wird Russland in die Knie zwingen: „Die USA bereiten die Lieferung… von 10 Flugabwehrraketen Typ MIM-104E GEM-T [PAC-2 Patriot] im Wert von $29,6 Mio. vor, die einst an Deutschland geliefert wurden.“ PAC-2 kann keine 🇷🇺Iskander-Raketen abwehren. 🍿 https://t.co/pMjmEqSBIX #Russland #Flugabwehr #Patriot
