British intelligence: Russia will face challenges in training those called up for mobilization

“Russia will now face an administrative and logistical challenge to provide training for the troops,” the British Defense Ministry said in the latest defense intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine, Report informs.

“The initial tranches of men called up under Russia’s partial mobilization have started arriving at military bases. Many tens of thousands of call-up papers have already been issued. Unlike most Western armies, the Russian military provides low-level, initial training to soldiers within their designated operational units rather than in dedicated training establishments. Many of the drafted troops will not have had any military experience for some years,” the British Defense Ministry said.
