Every Russian man is required to serve for a year. When they are called up after that year, they get further training. The Russians produce ads like the one above because this is what they believe their soldiers should look like.

Patriotic ad. But the Russian leaders have always treated their troops like cannon fodder.

No argument from me on the historic treatment of Russian troops by their leadership. Unfortunately, in this conflict it has been the Ukrainian side who has been throwing people with little to no training into suicidal situations.
