That’s only a problem if you have to move armor.

If there are troops defending Moscow, I assume they are mostly 18 year old conscripts. They're not going to fight against battle hardened Wagner troops returning from Bakhmut.

All of the Russian troops are in Ukraine right now.

Supposedly, the headquarters of the Russian Army fighting Ukraine, is in Rostov.

So, the Wagner group may not have so very far to go. If they can take the HQ of the Russian army fighting Ukraine, they will have taken the majority of Russian army forces.

Do be aware Russia has an army of 1.25 million, and their Congress ( Duma) authorized an increase to 1.5 million.

Meanwhile, after three weeks of heavy losses in the “grand offensive”, the Ukies put out yet another emergency mobilization order issued to their western provinces ( the portion of Ukies that have not yet “ felt” the war)…that should be just about scraping the bottom of their 18-60 year old forced conscription barrel….

But don’t worry, western MSM tells us Vlad is still running out of ammunition and weapons any day now.

How can this be? We’ve been told for months tat the Wagner troops were being wiped out.
