I was looking at a German article this AM....talking over prepared food for incoming 300,000. No one in Russia thinks the new incoming crew will get fed on any routine basis, and even the combat rations....probably are already down to nothing.
Yesterday, they ran video of the buses being loaded. I’d say 25-percent of the crowd were hefty guys....maybe in the 240 to 280 pound range. Way out of shape, and unfit for any type of combat action.

They can be used as breastworks. Kind of like what the old cavalry used to do with their horses when things got dicey.
Overwight as many appeaar in the recruitment photos, they will last a while on their own fat. In one of the Antarctic polar expeditions everyone died because the food supply was miscalculated for the number of men. Given the cold and the trecking exercise they should have had 7,000 calories. I wonder how many calories men sitting around in unheated shacks or trenches need living with King Winter.
Also I have seen reports they will probably not have adequate winter gear, because of manufacturing delays. Any more information on that situation?
