It appears 3rd Army Corps failed to meet its manpower targets. As opposed to earlier in the war, the Russian MoD decided to actually give these volunteer units training and good equipment, but one month isn't sufficient and these units don't have well-trained officers and NCOs.2/

So they'll struggle to conduct combined-arms offensive operations well, though they may be used in this role, but they can help take some of the burden of defending Russian lines, which is increasingly important given the likelihood of a Ukrainian offensive. 3/

It is interesting that Russia established a Corps for these volunteer battalions, which indicates it wants to employ them together as part of an organic unit. This is in contrast to the Tigr battalion, which is subordinate to the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade. 4/

539. Back to the same forest in tweet 534-5, the same Tik Toker has a 3rd film with an additional captured🇷🇺BMP-2 at the end. The T-80BV + turret-less MT-LB are already recorded. As mentioned already likely in Sviati Hory forest/Mazanivka area maybe filmed by 79 Air Assault Bde.

@EndGameWW3 @defense I thought US just allocated $3 billion that included 6 NASAMS systems. Is this an extra system or are they just giving a contract to make 1-2 NASAMS systems for Ukraine?

You would think it would make more sense to send these volunteer battalions to serve under the structure of existing regiments or brigades, instead of creating a new corps with its own leaders. It is interesting that Russia decided to do this. 5/

Russia offered pretty good financial benefits for volunteers for these units compared to average salaries. They have likely recruited those that need the money the most or are most supportive of the war, but will they be able to keep finding volunteers after this? 6/

Because Russia committed 80%+ of its ground forces at the beginning of the war, there wasn't a good Plan B if they ran into trouble. Most of the volunteers signed 3-6 month contracts, which will end soon. Manpower issues will get worse for Russia by the winter. 7/

Possibly, but the Soviet Army had a lot of officers waiting to lead units with mobilized reservists. The Russian Ground Forces deployed almost all of its officers to make up for personnel shortfalls in Feb-March. There aren't trained officers available. 8/

@RALee85 In the end, they will be forced to declare some kind of mobilization. But it will be too late.

540. Jumpy film of a captured RuAF T-72B3 + BTR-82A, with a turret-less BTR in the distance + an unidentified destroyed vehicle behind the BTR-82A. @Poutsup identified likely📽️source as 81st Airmobile Brigade but so far couldn't locate it near Bohorodychne.

@Poutsup:
A typical daily walk for 🇺🇦 paratroopers showing the earlier work: An abandoned 🇷🇺 T-72B3 MBT, one captured BTR-82A IFV seemingly in a good shape and another decapitated without a turret further away. https://t.co/fPC9nwpM7B
