"Air Force command, and reconnaissance work are one of the RF problem areas"

"Many questions to the command of the Aerospace Forces, questions to the main intelligence department of the General Staff." Andrei Kartapolov, Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, criticized the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. He stated that the main problem of the army is the weak intelligence work, which is subordinate to the General Staff.

“Our main problem today is reconnaissance means. Not forces, but precisely reconnaissance means that would make it possible to open enemy targets to the full depth. Its operational structure, strategic depth,” explained Kartapolov.
