Meanwhile, summer rumors about deliveries of Shahid-136 kamikaze drones to Russia from Iran turned out to be true. They are called Geran-2 and have recently been actively used to strike at military infrastructure in Ukraine, in particular in Odessa. Drones are slow, loud, cheap (compared to cruise missiles), not homing (working at given coordinates), and yet they seem to be quite effective, Ukrainian air defense cannot do anything with them.

Partial mobilization in Russia is a symmetrical response to mobilization in Ukraine.

Ukraine has been mobilizing since February.

Symmetrical does not mean synchronous.

I do not see the prerequisites for mass mobilization in Russia; professional military personnel are doing their job quite well.

At what point do you realize that you're being fed lies?

Russia has a huge excess of natural resources and the most combat-ready army in the world

Even now I do not consider mobilization in Russia necessary. I think Putin had a choice in response to the mobilization in Ukraine - start mass bombing or increase the size of his group. Personally, I would prefer to raze Kyiv to the ground, but fortunately for you, I do not make decisions on this issue.

By now you must be aware that the "all powerful and glorious" RF Air Force is unable to do anything in Ukraine. Missiles are ok to destroy nurseries, commercial centres and the like but real military use requires precision not "precision". To put it plainly, the RF cannot raze anything to the ground. There was no option to "bomb" and instead the Junta took the non-decision of sequestering civilians and send them to die.

On regards to "synchronous"... funny that you mention that. The RF is absolutely unable to coordinate the deployment of 300k freshly recruited pretty much demotivated and unready poor bastards. Expect them to arrive late, unequipped, untrained, unmotivated, uncoordinated... This is the perfect recipe to destroy de population growth rate of the RF for the next 10 years.

Yet here you are, still on phase 1 "denial".
