📋 Israel's mostly reserve army is refusing to join the army again

The percentage of soldiers showing up for the a new round of reserve duty is in sharp decline and the solutions are running out.

An officer said that there's no way to tell them to come after they've already given 140 days of their year. Many commanding officers have already said so.

In some battalions, at most 60% of the soldiers are coming to duty, and this number is likely going to decrease after the new government order to extend the reserve duty. Israel's doctrine was always short wars and its small professional army cannot operate soundly for long against a strong adversary.

One of the commanders said that the IDF lacks thousands of fighters and at least 15 battalions. The army is based on reserves, it has always been this way, but now the long war is causing significant attrition.

A reserve Armor Major added: "I will give you an example through two tank commanders that I have in the battalion. One is 47 years old and the other is 49 years old. Both of them haven't trained for almost ten years, they don't know the crew in their tank nor the fighters with them in the company.

✍ Unlike Israel's infantry, Hezbullah's infantry is still fresh from the box

⚡️Remember, in 2022, an SU30 intercepted an F-35, it's EW cutting the F35 aircraft from its American AWACS, jammed its early warning systems, threat detection systems and targeting systems.

The SU 30 taunted and mocked the F-35, constantly disappearing, flying near and even doing barrel rolls over the F35.

Speaking to Military History of Italy Falco says that he did not expect the latest American fighter jet with all modern systems and weapons could be so easily bypassed. Especially considering that the Su-30 is a 4th generation machine, albeit an upgraded one.
