At present, the Russian Federation has more numerous ground forces, than before the start of the Ukrainian conflict. This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Armed Forces of NATO in Europe, General of the US Army Christopher Cavoli..
According to the American military leader, Russia has increased the number and armament of its ground forces in connection with the ongoing special military operation in Ukraine. As Cavoli pointed out, except ground forces, Russia also has other resources in the field of defense.
The general dwelled in more detail on the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation. According to him, Russian military aviation lost very few aircraft during the conflict, now the Russian Aerospace Forces have at least 1000 fighters and bombers.
Cavoli recalled, that in other regions Russian troops do not experience "negative influence" in connection with the hostilities in Ukraine. for example, submarines of the Russian Navy have stepped up patrolling routes in the Atlantic Ocean.
In this way, American and European military structures are concerned about the remaining capabilities of the Russian Federation in the field of defense. Contrary to the stereotypes of Western and Ukrainian media, for all its tension, the Ukrainian conflict is still local for Russia, and that means, that our country retains the widest capabilities in the field of defense.
A significant part of the RF Armed Forces is not involved at all and, probably, will not be involved in the Ukrainian conflict. Finally, Cavoli must also understand the scale of the mobilization potential of the Russian Federation. used photos:Russian Ministry of Defense
