On September 21, 2022, Putin changed the life of an entire generation of Russian civilians to “before” and “after” mobilization. On the very first day, excited Russian draft officers began delivering the first “good-luck letters” to the newly minted Russian military men. Russian military districts raced to fulfill the mobilization targets in order to compensate for the losses in regular units at the expense of “mobiks”. The war from TV and patriotic Telegram channels suddenly entered the actual life of hundreds of thousands of civilian Russians. We did not see any mass protests against it. The protests culminated in a few videos from the Russian outback. A typical mobilized Russian is OK with making war on Ukraine, he just used to think that the regular army would take care of it for him.
The Russian press published tons of texts on how to legally delay mobilization, but subsequently switched to hints on how to properly prepare a mobilized man for the front – from advice on how to make a makeshift tourniquet from improvised materials, to checklists with what you need take from home to the front. Russian society goes to war against Ukraine en masse without any qualms.
From a legal point of view, a mobilized Russian is infinitely worse-off than a contract soldier. Now, every Russian can sign a short-term contract with the army for a minimum of 3 months. Thus, such a “contract soldier” can call it quits after a quarter in the ranks.
A mobilized Russian remains in the army until the end of the war, but no one knows when it will end. This probably does not dawn on the majority of the mobilized Russians, and therefore they resignedly sign against the receipt of the draft notice. Then they just as resignedly come to the draft station, “just to clarify their data”, from where they are promptly taken to the front.
A whole series of obituaries about the fate of the mobilized Russians has already appeared in the Russian press. In some ways, this is reminiscent of the first weeks of March, when the Russians actively wrote about the first losses in the war. Subsequently, this topic got tired and turned into an everyday reality. However, the stories of “mobiks” can still be found in the Russian press, because this is a relatively new phenomenon. Even Russian journalists want to hype on the topic.
The Russian mobilized suffered their first losses from heart attacks at mobilization stations, some showed extraordinary alcoholic prowess in training camps or died due to hazing before reaching the army. A separate case is the execution of a group of mobilized men by the ethnic Tajiks at the training camp near Belgorod – the exact losses in this story are unclear. Also several videos circulated the press of the relatives searching for missing mobilized men who have not been in contact for a long time after mobilization.
On September 22, Russian military draft offices began to deliver the first draft notices. Some were drafted into the army on the very first day and taken to training camps throughout Russia. For many, the way to the front took only a few days, and already in Ukraine, the Russian mobilized men began to die in truly massive numbers.
During the first month of mobilization, the names of at least 29 mobilized Russians killed at the front became known – information about them somehow made its way to the press or social media.
The Ukrainian OSINT expert “Necro Mancer” (Twitter account: @666_mancer) is gathering data of the Russian losses at the front. After analyzing the texts of obituaries, we supplemented the results of Necro Mancer with the dates of mobilization and the dates of arrival in Ukraine. So, what does a typical mobilized Russian killed in action look like? Mobik vulgaris
The average age of a killed “mobik” is only 33 years. Most of them are privates or corporals. So far, only one killed officer in the rank of major has been recorded. Many of them do not need initial military training because they have recently discharged from the army or worked in law enforcement agencies.
Some were paratroopers, military intelligence officers, special forces soldiers or marines. Some of them fought in Chechnya, served as a contract soldiers in the “counter-terror ops” in the Caucasus, worked for the police or the penitentiary system. That is, the killed Russian mobilized men are in a sense military men.
For example, a mobilized with the surname Khomichenko from Buryatia went to fight against Ukraine for the second time this year. Until June, he had already fought as part of the Russian regular army, and in September he landed for the second time in Ukraine, already as a mobilized soldier.
By the way, about Buryatia. The draft officers of some Russian regions sent their charges to Ukraine faster than others. The leaders in disposal of the mobilized were the Krasnoyarsk Krai and Sverdlovsk Oblast (7 pcs. each), closely followed by the Chelyabinsk Oblast (with 5 pcs.). Let us separately mark the capital regions – Moscow (3) and St. Petersburg (2). Every fifth Russian lives in the agglomerations of these two cities – mobilization could not have bypassed the metropolitan party-goers.
All the KIAs were called up in the first week of mobilization in September, but the first deaths surfaced only on the fourth of October. On the average, a mobilized man gets to Ukraine in just 7 days. However, there are also exceptions, when, within an express procedure, a “mobik” got to Ukraine on the third day after mobilization.
We could trace two main routes of getting into Ukraine through the obituaries. First – a training camp in Dzhankoy in the Crimea, followed by redeployment to the Kherson Oblast, or it could start with the Belgorod or Rostov Oblast, and from there – on to the Luhansk Oblast of Ukraine. It is interesting that some of those mobilized subsequently go again from the Luhansk to the Kherson Oblast.
It was possible to establish the place of death for 16 mobilized men. The majority die in the Kherson Oblast – 12 out of 16 in our data sample. And 4 pcs. were liquidated in the Luhansk Oblast. There is no information on the killed mobilized men in the Donbas yet.
We could partially establish the date of mobilization and arrival in Ukraine. From these data, the following conclusions can be drawn – a week after mobilization, a Russian “mobik” normally enters Ukraine. After 12 days upon mobilization, he dies in Ukraine. He manages to survive for about 4 days at the front.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine do not forgive the Russians for the desire to wage war on Ukraine. The “sad” statistics of the first KIA mobilized roughly shows how a typical Russian mobilized man will fare against the motivated Ukrainian army. On average – 4 days to live, and then – KIA, WIA or POW.
“The irretrievable losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of October 20, 2022 amounted to 402,000 people , of which 387,000 were killed . Losses among mercenaries and volunteers from Poland, the Baltic States, Romania amounted to 54,000 of them killed 31,240 people. These are the OSINT data , calculated using reports from funeral agencies, extracts from mortuaries, as well as the results of an analysis of the radio, cellular and satellite exchange of forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The media also report that the Committee of Soldiers’ Mothers of Ukraine allegedly prepared more than 320,000 appeals “about the fate of the missing soldiers”, but the SBU banned them for national security purposes......”
In total, Ukrainian losses amount to 324 airplanes and 161 helicopters, 2,278 unmanned aerial vehicles, 383 air defence missile systems, 5,891 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 873 combat vehicles equipped with MLRS, 3,489 field artillery cannons and mortars, as well as 6,652 units of special military vehicles have been destroyed during the special military operation.

Russia attacked Ukraine on Feb. 24. Oct. 24 marks the 244th day of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Invading Russian forces initially tried to advance from the north, east and south, attacking peaceful cities throughout Ukraine. Civilian targets across Ukrainian cities remain under sporadic Russian air strikes, while settlements along the Russian border are regularly shelled.
During this time, the Kremlin has changed the war goals in Ukraine several times. After the failed operation to seize Kyiv, Russian troops retreated from Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy oblasts to concentrate on fighting for the parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts that were under Ukrainian control before the full-scale invasion.
Kherson is the only provincial capital under Russian control. Invading Russian forces currently occupy parts of Kherson, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhya oblasts.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have launched a counter-offensive in the south and east of Ukraine, striking at Russian ammunition depots and manpower clusters.
Shortly after the beginning of the Kherson counter-offensive, the Ukrainian army launched another counter-offensive in Kharkiv Oblast in the north-east of the country. Most of the oblast was liberated from Russian occupation in just a few days.
After the successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the battlefield, Russian proxies in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhya oblasts staged sham “referendums” on “joining” Russia,
and on Sept. 30, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin announced the annexation of the captured Ukrainian territories.
Prior to that, on Sept. 21, partial mobilization was announced in Russia.

Let me know when you post up more Ukie ‘winning’ articles and threads, going to walk the dog....at 1:43am........
the more lies you post, the less people believe you
Information Napalm is a good source. What they write they back up with documentation or evidence better than most of the MSM.
“Information Napalm is a good source. “
Thank you for your endorsement. I have found them to be most accurate
“the more lies you post, the less people believe you”
He knows. He lives on intimidation.. just ignore him :)
Zelensky sighed a decree refusing to negotiate with Russia as long as Putin is president. I suggest not giving him a single $, weapon, troop, etc till he talks. What a pompous ass he is.
At least I don’t use neo-Nazi language or spam incessant amounts of pro-Ukrainian propaganda day after day after day nor di I spam made up BS via FR MAIL.

Because it has always been about regime change in Russia.
ZelenskyyIdiot stipulated that the only way he would negotiate is if Putin was gone/removed.
Putin’s response: ‘No problem. Unconditional surrender by the Kyiv Regime works.’
Are you, or are you not capable of understanding, that picture explains exactly why Russia is going to lose if they do not withdraw from Ukraine?
