The commander of the Akhmat special forces, deputy head of the First Main Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Defense Ministry, is going to "fight to the end SMO and retire"
"One of these days it will be 30 years since I am a man with a gun. It seems to me that I have paid my debt to the Motherland. And I think that I should retire quietly, leaving everything for younger guys with a good energy resource, so that they can also dare for the good of our Fatherland. My calculations are not directed either to positions, or to titles, or to any prospects of figures who will work in peacetime on Russia. I see myself as a person who should have been retired for a long time," Alaudinov told Komsomolskaya Pravda radio.
Alaudinov was reminded that he had predicted the end of SMO by now.
"I am more than confident that SMO will be completed this year. I take most of my forecasts from The Holy Scriptures. On February 25, 2022, a journalist friend asked me a question: "Apty, what will happen now?"I said, 'A full-fledged war.' She says, "When do you think it will end?“ I told her that in 2024, in the fall. She laughed: "Apti, everyone says that it will be completed in a week or a month, and you're talking about 2024." And then I told her: "They say what they think, and I say what I see from the The scriptures.“ Two months ago she called me again, and I reminded her of our conversation."
According to Alaudinov, the end of SMO will be facilitated by the US elections, events in the Middle East, and the very state of Ukraine.
"She is on the threshold of internal difficult events. Then the Ukrainian people will not be able to supply the male population to this meat grinder to please Zelensky. The task that Zelensky set and the American hosts voiced that they would fight to the last Ukrainian — they almost completed it. That is, they have a terrible demographic catastrophe. Therefore, I think that all this, taken together, will do its job. And SMO will be completed — and only on our terms," he said.
You and I will see, predicts Alaudinov, how planes will fly away from Ukraine, "and the same overdue and poor Ukrainians who thought that America was the king and god will fall from their wheels."
He does not believe that Zelensky will not go on the counteroffensive.
"Now it's going to rain, mud, Ukraine is unlikely to be able to undertake an offensive… If they try to make some last breakthrough somewhere, they have the resources for that. We fix them, control them. They will even be able to deliver one more blow — this will be the last blow in agony. With such recent steps, Zelensky will put an end to the existence of the state of Ukraine in the format in which we knew it before the SMO began," Alaudinov said.
He is sure that there is no underestimation of the enemy on our part.
In the Kursk region, the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to him, have collected such serious resources that have never been collected in all three years of SMO.
"More than 200 tanks, more than 400 armored vehicles, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles. All the European junk was specifically involved in this operation... 70% of this equipment was destroyed. As soon as the remaining equipment appears somewhere, they continue to destroy it... If we compare it even with what they threw in the Kursk direction, they don't even have half of this resource - in technical equipment. Yes, they can gather the mobilized. Maybe 30-40 thousand. But they don't have the trained fighters they had at the beginning of the 2023 campaign. Then they had the opportunity to prepare them for a long time," the commander noted.
According to Alaudinov, mobilization in Russia will not need it now, but young people should be involved in military service.
"We are coping with today's actions of the enemy and its resources even without full-fledged mobilization. We have already won this conflict. But you always have to prepare for the next one. And in order to prepare for the next one, we must have an understanding that our border, which is closely surrounded by the NATO bloc, has increased by thousands of kilometers. And NATO is pressing us from all sides. In order to be ready at any time to repel any NATO forces (and today, without a doubt, we are at war with NATO, which I call the army of the Antichrist). Therefore, we still need to prepare ourselves. It is necessary to attract our young people as much as possible to ensure that they are always ready to join the ranks... God forbid, if there is such a need, every man in our country should be ready to defend his Homeland. And not so that the mobilization was announced, and thousands of people rushed through Lars, disgracing themselves. And then they all sit, regret it. And most of them have already returned back to They are trying to pretend that nothing happened," Alaudinov said.
