Photos that appeared online over the weekend, depicting Russian army armored vehicles on trains rolling out of the army training base Mulino, 200 miles east of Moscow, are a potentially ominous sign.
The Russian army’s newest grouping, the 3rd Army Corps, is on the move–toward eastern Ukraine. The 3rd Army Corps is the first big new formation to take shape as a result of the Kremlin’s urgent initiative, beginning this summer, to recruit new soldiers and stand up new units in order to replace the tens of thousands of troops it has lost in the six months since it widened its war in Ukraine.
The 3rd AC will, to some extent, boost the fighting strength of the battered Russian army in Ukraine. But it’s unclear just how effective the corps might be in combat with battle-hardened Ukrainian battalions. While the 3rd AC has drawn relatively modern equipment, its recruits–middle-aged men, mostly–are indicative of the Russian army’s broader manpower challenge.
Aging Russia doesn’t have a lot of highly motivated, fit young men to spare. And that means the 3rd AC could roll into battle at a disadvantage.

It’s not for no reason that Russian President Vladimir Putin in May signed a law removing the 40-year age limit on new recruits. And it’s not for no reason the 3rd AC’s ranks feature a lot of gray hair, weathered faces and paunchy midsections. “Images of the 3rd Army Corps elements have shown the volunteers to be physically unfit and old,” the Institute for the Study of War in Washington, D.C. noted.

One day they are too young, one day they are too old. More propaganda.
here’s todays mil summary update for whats hap along the front lines

“The true face of the Ukrainian Nazi regime has been known to followers of this conflict for a long time, but of late, even the TV-addled masses have observed the gilded media mask slip.
Ukrainian losses in the grinding war have been catastrophic. Catastrophic. There can be no ‘official’ tally at this time. The sober estimates provided by the Russian Ministry of Defense are probably understated, while the claims of Ukraine and its sponsors are utterly worthless. Leaks from the Ukrainian front-line speak of units of fresh recruits being annihilated within days of arriving at the front, not even seeing the Russians. A claimed intercepted communication from the Ukrainian general staff spoke of 190,000 dead and more than 300,000 permanently incapacitated. Zelensky vehemently denied these numbers, claiming 9000 Ukrainian dead, having killed 70,000 Russians. Some western cheerleaders claim Russian casualties are well over 100,000. These numbers are simply ludicrous. A fantasy. Why not claim a million?
Vladimir Putin just authorized an uplift in the size of the armed forces of the Russian Federation from 1,902,758 to 2,039,758. That’s a little over 130,000 people overall. It’s important to note these numbers are total, including supporting personnel in all roles, so we’re not talking about front-line troops here. Hardly a sign of crisis.
Despite the slow but steady progress of the Russian Forces, western media and politicians continue to repeat the mantra of Russian defeat, of stalemate, of Ukrainian counter-offensives that are shortly to turn the tide of victory. All that is required to secure that final victory is another $10 billion, another shipment of ‘wunderwaffen’, more ammunition, more sanctions…….more……”

Truth is, they will likely do a decent job on defense, and that’s how they will be used. That could free up better units.
BWAHAHAHA! Never in a million years. Those estimates, if they are honest and not deliberately inflated by higher ups, would be based off consolidated BDA's filed by Russian field commanders. And in that case, they are going to be unintentionally inflated by at 10%. That's an honest error common to most modern militaries.
The idea that the published Russian estimates of Ukrainian casualties were understated is laughable.
Remember a couple of months ago when you were challenged to show where Russia had retreated in Eastern Ukraine....and you couldn't?
Good times....😂😂😂
Odessa (and surrounding areas of the black sea) was formally established in 1794 by Catherine the Great. Its residents speak mostly Russian. For some unknown reason, Lenin gave it to Ukraine Bolsheviks in the 1920s
Don't be surprised when Russia takes it back.
Yes. Forbes is highly regarded in world military intelligence units. A go-to source for all your military intelligence needs.
Comrade Putin down to decrepit old men to refill his ranks.

The Ukies are on their 8 th mobilization, ages 18-60, from the start, and now woman. It seems To me the Ukies are desperate, not Vlad.
Sodomite Troll fail.
Your hero Zelensky is the big fan of Sodomites. Proliferating the globalist sodomite agenda is more important to him than saving lives in the middle of a war. It got him a big spread in Vanity Fair !

In the end, Ukraine gets carved up- RIP 1991-2023.
Are those French troops?/s
I’ve never seen people just lie like this on FR previously.
Don’t be surprised when Russia takes it back.

I hope so, then Ukraine is finished, then the corrupted beggar Zelensky has to go to the negotiating table- if he isn’t thrown out by then. Many Ukies have had enough and want peace negotiations.
Are Russians gonna allow the hohos to go on using a dead language after the surrender and takeover?
