it is already an army unto itself, ever since Shoigu was demoted and his buddies purged, and Patrushev head of the FSB became aide to Putin plus the FSB now controlling the Russian army well, the Rosgvardia has become the FSB private army, analogous to the KGB border guards of the USSR that ensure the security of the regime. Also besides ensuring the regime security, Rosgvardia is the source of barrier troops , the Russian troops who shoot Russian soldiers who retreat without orders. they are there to ensure the Russian offensives are stable and dont fall apart.
As a whole the Rosgvardia while better armed and more loyal than the Russian army, its still smaller as a whole than the Russian army and they are low experience , they dont actually directly fight the Ukrainians in the instances they did they got their asses kicked hard, just like Kursk offensive 2024 , where the Chechen akhmat under the control of General Aludinov was in charge of the defense of Kursk with units of Russian conscripts, well they were the first to run away from the Ukrainian offensive. Leading to a collapse of the Russian defenses there, when the Rosgvardia barrier troops run away , the whole Russian front also melts.
