Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said more than 300,000 reservists called up under partial mobilisation measures had been trained in two months, during a meeting of the Russian Defence Ministry's board on Wednesday.
"As part of partial mobilisation we are training citizens who have arrived from the reserve and forming and harmonising military units and subunits," he said. "About 3,000 instructors have been involved in the combat training of new military formations, and over 100 training ranges in our country and Belarus have been involved."
"More than 300,000 reservists, including volunteers, have been trained over two months," the minister continued.
Shoigu stated that the training centres had prepared "8,000 crews of combat vehicles and tanks, artillery systems, air defence, unmanned aerial and electronic warfare systems and communications equipment".
He also claimed that Russian troops were testing new methods of combat use of missile troops and artillery during the Ukraine conflict.
"The special operation is testing new ways of using it in combat. This primarily concerns the use of reconnaissance and strike firing systems, which include unmanned aerial vehicles and modern and advanced weaponry," Shoigu said.
"In preparing the Capital Construction List for 2023, special attention will be paid to construction in favour of the strategic nuclear forces," he added.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced partial military mobilisation back in September, while Shoigu reported that the call-up of 300,000 reservists had been completed on Friday, October 28.
Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements.
Russian troops were sent in, allegedly to defend citizens from attacks by Kiev, as well as to ‘demilitarise’ and 'denazify’ the region. Moscow also urged Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and guarantee that it would never join NATO.
Kiev denounced the action as an invasion, denying allegations of tolerating Nazi organisations. President Volodymyr Zelensky imposed martial law, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
