More about reserves...
"All our troops are now either here or in Chasovoy Yar. I used everything we have. Unfortunately, we don't have anyone left in the reserve," said the head of the GUR.
✏️ Many people took the words of Kirill Oleksiiovych as meaning that we have absolutely no reserves left. However, we would say that this is not the case at all.
🦉 A reminder that Budanov heads only the GUR, and the newly created units of the GUR actually became combat units from the reserves.
🔵This is evidenced by the introduction in Vovchansk of the newly created "Vidar" subdivision, which is part of the GUR. This was hinted at by Ruslan Kaganets, who previously headed "Sonechko" in the same structure.
According to the signatures of sources citing Budanov, it is written about the partial withdrawal of some brigades from the east. It is not possible to confirm full withdrawal. However, it is possible to state the fact of the presence of one of the individual battalions of the Novokakhovskaya 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade in the Kharkiv border regions.
Now a little about the reserves themselves...
🔴Not so long ago, the reserve corps was reformed into the 11th Army Corps. And although according to some sources (link to MilitaryLand) the 11 AK includes such brigades as: 3 OTBr, 45 OABr, 60 OMBr, 61 OMBr, 63 OMBr, then according to other sources (which will not be specified), the corps also has and 141 separate infantry brigades that never saw combat action.
🗂 Given that it, like a number of other brigades from the 140 series, were at the beginning of formation in February 2023, they should clearly have been formed by now. And this, for a moment, as many as 4 infantry brigades. Usually, the staff of the brigade is from 3 to 5 thousand personnel.
⚪️In addition to the above, from October 2023, the formation of the 150 series brigades began: 150, 151, 152, 153 and 154, which also have not yet appeared anywhere, but already for the reasons that some of them are still in a state of completion, probably on at the very final stage and at the stage of further training of personnel. They were also in the Reserve Corps (now - it is not known for sure, but they do not take part in battles).
❗ But this is not the end either. Therefore, the network recently became aware of the 155th separate infantry brigade.
However, information is already appearing about the possible formation of 156, 157, 158 and 159 brigades of the same type.
The only one that is known is that 159 may be forming in Mykolaiv Oblast.
🤔 Undoubtedly, there are reserves in the ground forces, although they may be insignificant for plans of a strategic scale. But for what purposes are they kept, and for what are they prepared?
