Shoigu creates the Azov Naval District: what troops of the Russian Federation will enter it and what does it mean

In addition, the Army Corps, the Azov Navy, five divisions and 26 brigades will be established. The formation of the Moscow and Leningrad military districts by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoigu announced last December, he also proposed to create an army corps in Karelia. But there is no more detailed information, as it will be in practice.

Military expert Pavel Narozhny in conversation with focus explained that the military district is a huge formation for the training of troops. It includes educational establishments, repair bases, military units themselves, possibly hospitals, etc. "Russia referred to the Crimea to the Southern Military District, but the" Gaulayter "of the occupied peninsula [the so-called head of" Republic of Crimea "] Sergey Aksyonov wants to make the Azov Naval District to be protected by the Azov Navy.

Because it is a matter that people need to recruit, teach, give them equipment, which is very small, ammunition and more, "says the Narozhny. The military expert, the stock of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Alexei Hetman believes that Russia simply has nothing to create new armies or new military districts, but it is possible to create new positions under this pretext.

"Let's compare: when the crews were formed under the flags of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, for example, a united assault brigade of the National Police" Fury ", they were created at the expense of volunteers who were recorded in new brigades, as well as with the help of additional equipment from our partners.

What will new armies form in the Russian Federation? According to the expert, the Russians will unite existing crews, divisions, formation and call them "new", but in fact, it will be all the same army that already exists. By the same principle, they will do with the Azov Naval District: there is neither additional equipment nor people, to really create something that was not before. "For example, your kitchen has a cabinet with pots and you call it" inventory. - Their number will not change.

Therefore, such statements of Russia - Pona for the stupid, " - continues the hetman. In February 2023, the Minister of Defense of the United Kingdom Ben Wallace reported that 97% of the Russian army was on the front line in Ukraine, while they have tremendous losses of both military equipment and personnel.

Considering that mobilization in Russia is difficult, the Armed Forces Major again emphasizes that the Russian Federation physically has nothing to create from everything that both shoiga and borders have declared. Military expert Petro Chernik believes that such statements are only an intra-propaganda narrative. "The classic Gebel principle:" I can lose my head, but I cannot lose their face. "In the Russian Federation, they try to keep a good game in extremely bad circumstances.
