They might want to get their matters in order before deploying. These conscripts will be going up against a legion of well-trained, well-armed defenders who want them gone… or dead.. or both.
Russian army has always been trash...and their poor performance in Ukraine proves it.
But what they do very well is send in overwhelming numbers of people to get killed until the enemy gets tired of killing them/and or runs out of ammo.
Gotta be comforting to the conscripts to be sent into combat areas knowing the FSB and state security forces were executing POWs and civilians weeks before.
They’ll probably revolt.
It’s one thing when rebellious soldiers have bolt action rifles. It’s another when they have full autos and machine guns. The leadership will probably put minefields and machine guns behind them as Soviet leadership did.
This 100 year old criminal gang is really getting old. People have had enough.
