You sure it was the Russians?

Russian quartermaster: "I say right away, if you are near the fire you are effed. So what do we have next? Take sleeping bags with you. You will sleep where you have to. Sleeping bags definitely, plus travel mats (bed rolls) or their replacements. Everyone get it?"
New conscript: "So we won't get anything from the army"?
Russian quartermaster: "It should be all yours, BOYS! All the army provides you is uniforms and armor. There is nothing else. We equipped our men with our own scrounging. All this also applies to medicine, diarrhea tablets, hydrogen peroxide, tourniquets. I don't have enough tourniquets for you."
New conscript: "I collected a set. There are no tourniquets in pharmacies"
Russian quartermaster: Ask relatives to send car first aid kits! Gut car firs aid kits and take medical tourniquets from there! So guys, don't just laugh. Ask wives girlfriends, mothers for maxipads, the cheapest pads and tampons. Do you know what tampons are for?
New conscripts: No
Russian quartermaster: You stick it in the bullet wound and that's it! The tampon begins to swell and closes the wound. Guys, I've known this since the Chechen war. Pads are a must. Cheap ones. Everything will suit you there. It's wet weather right now. I have friends and comrades there who, if possible, know what you need to have with you. Medicine? Guys take care of yourselves if possible, please.

It's how they do things in Russia.
It explains why the Russian troops are looting so much.
Ukraine ping!
And since those tampons come from Russia, they’ll be pre-used, dirty, smelly and most likely diseased.
Should they also bring their own coffins?
You sure it was the Russians?
Sounds like the nineteenth century way of running a second rate army.
Friends and families have always sent things to improve their soldiers chances of survival.
In China, in WWII, the Chinese did not work hard at conserving their soldiers. They were considered expendable... eventually, you run out of young men in villages to conscript.
“GI Pat”, the Movie.
😬🤢🤮
How, utterly, freakish and disgusting.
Must.....have.....eye bleach.
Right when I thought the reporting on Ukraine couldn’t get any worse….we get reports from “Special Kherson Cat” a self proclaimed Ukrainian cat lover on twitter. 🤣
Or how the US ran Afghanistan. You might be shocked at the lack of supplies. I sent care packages. Frequent request for tampons and pads...for men.
—”Should they also bring their own coffins?”
No need for that, the Russian army has mobile crematoriums in theater.

OK, USWMCs! Got to learn how to kill Russian women gunnery sergeants, and that with your eyes open without compassion. Just quickly and without emotion. Heartless. < /sarc >
I do have to say it’s got to be awful for any female in the combat zone when that time of the month hits.
It’s not uncommon military requests familis send care packages. In fact there were drives in our community to send US soldiers in Iraq war supplies.
Well concerting pads and tampons were invented in ww1 for Soldiers wounds
And only later were turned in to feminine hygiene products
who gather to send supplies to our soldiers in combat.
Not as compact as a Carlisle bandage web belt kit, but ample.
The Russian Empire used to have unlimited supply of cannon fodder so that's how they prevailed over their enemies. That wouldn't have worked for them in WW2 if it wasn't for the Russian Winter and Hitler's refusal to retreat from Stalingrad.
Today? Russia is facing a technologically advanced foe. So it doesn't matter if Russia is outnumbering Ukraine in the battlefield. Plus demographics are pretty dire in Russia so eventually they'll run out of cannon fodder.
I never asked what it was for but presumed for wounds since often it was for people who were getting packages dropped off out of the sky...mostly men at those type of bases.
I never used them. I like reading through the stories and picking my own troops from www.anysoldier.com.
often selected those who had no one.
