UK Intelligence: Russia deploys 10,000 paratroopers near Robotyne in Ukraine

18 September 2023 11:38

Over the last two weeks, Russia has likely further reinforced the hard-pressed 58thCombined Arms Army with additional VDV airborne units on the Orikhiv axis in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

A total of at least five VDV regiments drawn from the 7th and 76th divisions are likely now concentrated within several kilometres of the frontline village of Robotyne, Caliber.Az reports referring to the Defence Intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine, which was published by the UK Defence Ministry on September 18.

At full strength, such a force should constitute around 10,000 elite paratroopers. However, almost all units are highly likely dramatically under strength.

The current situation is likely to be seen as highly unsatisfactory by the VDV hierarchy.

Throughout the war Russian commanders have attempted to regenerate the airborne forces as a highly mobile, striking force for offensive operations. Once again, they are being used as line infantry to augment over-stretched ground forces.
