to ma byt pokus o vtip? moc sa nesmejem teda, ale dakujem za ponuku, v kazdom pripade sa im to uz par ludi snazilo povedat, zatial bez uspechu, verim, ze po anglicky vies:
Drapaty dared ordering a reform of the training system of the ZSU. Instead of each of 30+ training centres training recruits in different fashion (and, roughly, 50% of these centres not training recruits at all, but excelling in their commanders stealing even food), he wants them all to train recruits to exactly the same standard. Correspondingly, he began inspecting these in person, and sacking Syrsky’s incompetent buddies.
Drapaty also initiated the reorganisation of the command structure of the ZSU: sidelining all the incompetents appointed by Syrsky & Buddies to do nothing while 'commanding' diverse 'strategic' and 'tactical' groups of forces, he began groupping similarly-trained brigades into corpses, and appointing proven brigade commanders as their commanders.
Drapaty stopped Syrsky's practice of disintegrating brigades by detaching their battalions and re-deploying these to entirely different sectors, to patch the frontline.
Whenever Drapty - and that's really shameful, nothing else - assumed command over one or another sector of the frontline, the Russian advance was stopped cold. And versa vice: whenever he stopped doing that, the Russian advance resumed.
Drapaty said that when he became the Commander of the Ground Forces the army was mired in managerial stagnation. There was fear, lack of initiative and detachment on the frontline units. There was systemic abuse, personnel decisions based on connections and low internal organization. He tried to shift the army from a culture of fear to a culture of responsibility. In removing half of the Ground Forces leadership, he focused on decentralization, accountability and professionalism. Decisions were made on the basis of analysis, results, and respect for subordinates, not on status or loyalty. He also made an effort to eliminate corruption and increase transparency in mobilization.
In frustration, he resigned, saying “I was unable to make people follow my orders. I didn’t push hard enough or change attitudes toward discipline. This is my responsibility.”
The final straw that lead to his resignation was yet another missile strike on a Ukrainian training base. If he hoped his resignation would be a wake up call, if failed. Yet another Ukrainian training base was hit with a missile and it killed and wounded more soldiers.
Many talented officers refuse promotions above the brigade level because of the politics on the General Staff level. Drapaty now commands the Joint Forces, focusing entirely on combat operations, operations that are still micromanaged by Syrsky.
