Military expert Serhiy Grabsky estimated how many people could actually be called up in the Russian Federation. He is convinced that Russia is unable to mobilize 20 million people.
“If we look at the human potential of the Russian Federation as a whole, we can say that they can involve at least two million people, and this will be an objective figure, despite such textbook indicators, as they say, up to 20 million. This is unrealistic, of course," he explained in an interview with Radio NV.
Grabsky also urged not to "demonize" Russia's mobilization capabilities.
“I always cite this example: as a result of partial mobilization and, in general, what happened in Russia over the past year, they actually lost up to a million, or even more, workers because these workers were drafted into the army and the working brains fled from Russia. And this is already an irreparable loss for the Russian economy," the expert stressed.
Grabsky added that the units of the mobilized need to provide, produce, transport, and repair new equipment and weapons for them. He stressed that Russia could rely solely on itself in these matters, and its resources are limited.
