Approximately 40% of the military equipment with which the new units of the Russian army are equipped is inoperable. This was reported by the representative of the military intelligence of Ukraine, Vadym Skibitskyi .

Experiencing military failures and catastrophic losses of personnel and equipment, Russia is trying to create new military units. As noted in the GUR, the enemy will be able to form a new army corps only by the end of November.

“The story with the Third Army Corps will stretch until November. The problem is human resources. Staffing by specialists. It takes 3-4 months to train a normal specialist. Equipment and weapons are also a problem. All the latest equipment was in the arsenal of those battalion-tactical groups that entered our territory in February-March. Now we see that all units being formed are equipped with Soviet-style weapons, which are removed from storage bases and arsenals and given to the troops. According to our estimates, 40% of combat equipment is not combat-ready. It needs to be repaired and put in order,” Skibitskyi is quoted as saying by the HUR.
Addition
According to the Institute for the Study of War, false narratives are being promoted in Russia to convince the population that the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the south of Ukraine will allegedly fail.
