MOSCOW, December 13. The Russian army has gained invaluable experience in the special military operation zone, former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter said on the Dialogue Works YouTube channel.

"There are no armed forces on the planet that would have such the same experience as the Russian ones. The Ukrainian military could have had a similar experience, but they are all dead. Now in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there are people who are not trained, who are not trained. They don’t have the necessary equipment, they don’t know how to use the equipment,” the expert said.
According to a former American intelligence officer, today Russia has built a system that trains tens of thousands of fighters and turns volunteers into professional military personnel. Ritter emphasized that only the Russians have such a well-coordinated military mechanism.
Earlier, Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said that the experience of the special operation formed the basis for developing methodological approaches to maintaining the combat readiness of units and formations of the Russian army and other security forces.< br>
