“Local authorities say everyone draft-eligible in the huge line to leave Russia at the Georgian border – which is stretching for 24+ hours – is getting a conscription notice”

Demilitarized by 25%.
“In a post about the most recent Su-34 loss, the Fighter Bomber page said there is a Russian bomber aviation regiment where every fourth crew has been shot down. Most likely, we’re talking about the 559th Bomber Aviation Regiment, which prewar had 36 Su-34.”

I saw a report that said people were getting conscription notices at the border, but were still being allowed to cross the border.
I also saw a video, if I recall correctly, where Belarus’s president was telling Putin to let the men leave who wanted to leave. That they weren’t good Russians. And do you really want them. And the question is what to do when they want to come back.
Putin was squirming.
And I saw another video where they were asking men at the border what they did. And a lot of them were highly trained engineers and physicists and others.
This is a brain drain for Russia.
