And how many of those conscripts believe that?
But the 135,000 troops they are replacing will go to Ukraine.
Riiiiight.
And it takes 6 months to actually train a competent infantryman.
And if Russia takes over Ukraine and Moldavia, that’s 44 million people to conscript from for when they decide to march into Poland and Hungarian. Neither of which has the right to exist according to Putin.

Tell that to the last batch of conscripts
who were sent on a 'training mission', which happened to be in Ukraine !
What happens is that many conscripts are bullied or coerced into signing a “contract” to become a professional soldier, and thus they are no longer conscripts.
This is one of the ways Putin is finding fresh meat to be sent into the grinder in Ukraine.
He may get as much as say, 20% conversion of these new conscripts into contract soldiers, which would still give him tens of thousands of bodies to throw into the cauldron of Ukraine.
With the strict censorship and the elimination of independent news sources in Russia, many conscripts who convert into contract soldiers will have no idea what they are getting into.
This will be over before these people get through boot camp.
267,000 in 2019. Below average number this year.

Dead in a year, hopefully.
