> The army is in Zaporizhia
Ah, yes, all 3 regiments, none left in Moscow.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> yes, all 3 regiments, none left in Moscow Nobody said Moscow is undefended. Just less able to defend itself than usual. Much of the Russian Western military district is deployed towards Ukraine. Sensibly, Putin’s most loyal should have been held back. But the war is going terribly. If his loyalists were forward deployed, that changes the calculus.
- dragonwriter 3y agoUK MoD estimated earlier in the year that 97% of the Russian Army was deployed to Ukraine. The 1st Guards Tank Army, which includes the elite units traditionally tasked with Moscow's defense, the 2nd Guards Motor Rifle Division and the 4th Guards Tank Division has been heavily committed in Ukraine for most of the war. There is a defensive plan activated and deployment of forces in Moscow, sure, but Wagner has a lot of troops and combat experience, and what Russia has kept available at home mostly aren’t regular army troops, but Nationa Guard troops mainly used for intimidating civilians.

- justsomehnguy 3y ago> 97% of the Russian Army 3% is not enough to keep the lights in a country this big. It's no question where are the most but 3%? Doubt it.
