The enemy uses cadets and conscripts in assault units - military.


In Russian assault groups, cadets from higher military educational institutions and conscripts who are transferred to contracts are used. This was stated by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Volunteer Army "South" Serhiy Bratchuk.
He also noted that cadets of military educational institutions are used as commanders of infantry units and assault groups. "Many conscripts are trying to be transferred to contracts, this is the easiest way under pressure and promises of big money. They served for several months, demonstrated their skills, and sent them to assault groups that operate along the entire frontline," Bratchuk noted.
According to the spokesman, this indicates that the Russian Federation has various ways to replenish its forces but also indicates that the resource of the aggressor country is not infinite. At the same Time, the Kremlin fears general mobilization.
"Our observations show that this resource, primarily human, is indeed being depleted. The enemy's reserves of weapons are being exhausted, he throws everything to the front. There may be air defense means to protect the Crimean [Kerch] bridge, but this will not help. The situation deep within the Russian Federation shows that there are not enough air defense means," Bratchuk added.
