The Russian military is seeing an influx of older contract soldiers who are largely seen as detrimental to its war effort in Ukraine, the investigative news outlet Vyorstka reported Wednesday, citing anonymous military and parliamentary sources.
Volunteer fighters aged 45 and over now make up half of new recruits in Moscow, a senior Mayor’s Office source was cited as saying. The average age of recruits has risen from 40 at the start of the year to about 50, said another Moscow Mayor’s Office source.
“They’re all sick,” a Russian soldier fighting in Ukraine was quoted as saying of these troops. “Their legs hurt, their heads hurt, and they’re slow.”
Maybe you should not be sending them to a meat grinder?
Seems an obvious solution to running out of recruits is to just not get them killed. Maybe, by, like GETTING THE FUCK OUT OF UKRAINE.
They should keep sending them into a meat grinder.
We need to give Ukraine such powerful weapons like drone swarms such that the abattoir is completely automated and 100% safe (for everyone but the livestock).
A lesson must be taught, and the only language Russians can understand, if very slowly, is their own blood.
Less capable?
Grim news for them if Russia was sending it’s best.
I’m starting to wonder if this is the strategy of the west. Russia has always been known for having huge numbers of ground troops. If they can be worn down over time, then the west will be able to flank, overthrow or whatever
