Before Russia invaded Ukraine they had a full war games workup in Belarus with their frontline military units such as the VDV (elite paratroops), Spetsnaz (special forces), their Main Battle Tanks (MBT) and officers. They were basically wiped out and pull from combat to reconstitute. They sent in their top tank army the 1st Tank Guards Army that protected Moscow and were basically wiped out and pull from combat to reconstitute. They then sent in the 11th Army Corps station in Kaliningrad that was suppose to be the spear head against NATO and were basically wiped out and pull from combat to reconstitute. The mobilized troops is being sent by Putin to be “Cannon Fodder”.

@ryansurgison3618 The Spetsnaz units are still in Ukraine, but their actions didn't amount to much. The Russians use the term Spetsnaz to describe a lot of different units, both military controlled and politically controlled units.

@ryansurgison3618 It was mainly the Russian VDV at Hostomel airport. The Spetsnaz was sent undercover as a "Kill Team" to kill the Ukrainian leaders. At the start, they were captured in the in the city. Spetsnaz are special forces for intel, sabotage, to infiltrate behind enemy and used as a force multiplier. There were no major sabotage in Kherson, Volodymr Zelenskyy visited Kherson soon after the Russians left.

@ryansurgison3618 The Ukraine special forces training since 2014 have been using NATO special forces style training instead of the old Soviet Spetsnaz training.

In the video written description from the Russian MOD: "A serviceman called up from the reserve, Yevgeny...also noted that all the required monetary allowance is received in full and within the time limits established by law..." Why would a Russian serviceman doing military training suddenly talk about being paid in full and on time if there weren’t a problem? It just another theatrical staged show by Putin that everything is going to plan.
