The Russian Army does not have the logistical support system to support an offensive with 500,000 troops. They are barely able to support their troops at the front lines now, let alone the increased requirements of an army conducting a massed offensive.

Yuhp, and they have been scraping the bottom of the barrel getting those.
The new troops must be Cub Scouts and more jailbirds (this time over the age of 60”. These troops are just likely to scatter at the first outburst of fire.

Link please.
Agreed. 500,000 poorly trained, poorly equipped, and poorly supported conscripts are not going to win the war for Pooty.
They’re just going to die.
I tend to believe your statement, and if true, this 500,000 man invasion is just BS to get more dollars and equipment.
That’s a lot of mouths to feed, soldiers to house (even in tents), heaters for the soldiers, fuel for equipment etc etc etc.
WWII’s Normandy D-Day invasion consisted of roughly 140,000 men. And based on historical documentaries, the logistical support for these guys was just unbelievably enormous.
Based on the propaganda I’ve read (repeat: propaganda) Russia couldn’t even support an invasion force the size of D-Day’s.
Similar to what the US is doing with the Ukraine Foreign Legion
