What's current training for Russian armor crews/how do they replenish their losses?
Being following the war since day 1.
I noticed most discussions are focusing on hardware losses, but I am more curious about human side. With the massive crew losses Russia suffered past few years, what's the current system look like?
-
How's their training system look like right now? Have they shorten they training course for armor crewmen?
-
Do they still train in company or higher combined arms? Cross train between crew stations?
-
How many tank or IFV crews are Russian producing currently? Have they opened new armor schools to increase output?
-
How many pre-war professional crews still left? In the frontline, how many veteran vs new recruits? Or have they pulled most veteran back to interior as instructors?
