General Zaluzhny: The most valuable resource is people! The traditional approach to mobilization in modern warfare has b

The experience of the Russian-Ukrainian war has shown that the traditional approach to mobilization has been completely exhausted. This was stated today by the Ambassador of Ukraine to the United Kingdom and former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny during a speech at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, reports Censor.NET, quoted by Focus.

Zaluzhny noted that the number of people physically capable of performing tasks in a combat zone is minimal. It continues to decline and is actually being gradually replaced by robots.

"The experience of both Russia and Ukraine shows that the traditional approach to mobilization in modern warfare has been completely exhausted", believes Zaluzhny.

According to him, this long and highly intense war has demonstrated that the most valuable resource is people, because their recovery takes much longer than the production of equipment, and it is impossible to quickly compensate for such losses on the battlefield.

"Based on the fact that the battlefield has become transparent and is automatically controlled by robots, the probability of a person's survival no longer depends on the quality of his training and leads to inevitable losses, which requires distancing a person from this zone of defeat", explains the ambassador.

He also noted that the Ukrainian experience confirms something else: mobilization is an extremely sensitive topic that affects the resilience of society in a war of attrition and readiness to support it. That is why, according to Zaluzhny, Russia is in no hurry to announce a large-scale mobilization.

An alternative path to mobilization

The Ukrainian diplomat and former commander believes that the future is unlikely to include mass multi-million mobilizations around the world.

"We are talking more about technological and economic mobilization, as a guarantee of the inextricable process of ensuring and maintaining technological superiority over the enemy“, explains Zaluzhny.

He emphasizes that modern robotic systems now perform not only auxiliary tasks, but also participate in attacks and can even capture the enemy. At the same time, the use of equipment and people in areas of intense destruction is becoming increasingly deadly.

"The model of warfare, which involves exchanging human lives for tactical successes, is no longer a logical and affordable option. "On the modern high-tech battlefield, saturated with high-precision destruction systems, such an approach is unacceptable not only from a moral point of view, but also from a tactical efficiency point of view," the Ukrainian ambassador points out.

Zaluzhny believes that technological development and the robotization of war open an alternative path - maintaining combat effectiveness with a significant reduction in human participation and, accordingly, human losses.
