The expert announced Putin's restructuring of the key management contours of the Russian Army

The new appointments to the leadership of the Russian Army, which were made by Russian President Vladimir Putin, mean the restructuring of key areas of control — logistics, unmanned systems (UAVs) and the command of groups of troops. This was announced on August 6 by military expert Andrei Klintsevich.

"This is not an ordinary rotation of generals based on seniority or other formal grounds. We are talking about a substantial restructuring of three key contours at once: the rear, unmanned systems and control of groups of troops," Klintsevich said in an interview with the newspaper Vzglyad.

The expert pointed out that generals with real combat experience, who well understand the needs of modern troops, were selected for senior positions. In particular, the appointment of Colonel-General Valery Solodchuk to the post of Deputy Defense Minister is aimed at consolidating all services providing the Russian group.

"[Solodchuk] is a commander with practical experience. I am convinced that now many processes will be optimized, and responsibility for them will become clearer," Klintsevich said.

The military expert called the appointment of Colonel-General Denis Lyamin as commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces another important personnel decision. He has extensive experience in using UAV systems in combat conditions, she added."Газета.Ru ".

"These are the most verified decisions. We are talking about people who have already headed the headquarters of these associations and know the situation well. They are able to maintain the offensive pace that has been gained by the groups," the source believes.
