The Russian military is targeting women in its latest drive to recruit soldiers for its war in Ukraine.
An independent news outlet called the hotline on the advertisement and was told that women under 50 are being encouraged to sign one-year contracts.
They could enter with “minimal” professional training, the recruiter said in the call.

Are they normal girls, or the kind with beards and hairy legs like those in NATO?

“ Force Depletion”? Russia currently has a 1.25 million man army, and their Congress ( Duma) just voted to increase it to 1.5 million by the end of 2024.
They have enough 18-24 year old males ( unlike the Ukies 18-60 year olds- or the US’s 480, 000 Army and declining) to take on NATO and the collective West….should the West make a blunder and intervene.
The only countries I see in severe decline is the US, and EU armies….which of course is going to lead to a draft re-instation should the US decide to intervene directly. You can pull up Congress’s shelved bills on re-instating the Draft.
Fact is our military does not have the capability anymore to transport that amount of troops to Europe, let alone the billions of tons of equipment and supplies…..do remember, it took us six months just to prepare for the Gulf War….and that was with tons of equipment that was already “ pre-positioned “ in Saudi and ME….that capability is long gone.
When I was working in the Kingdom way back when, I witnessed the huge amount of equipment that was sitting in HUGE underground tunnels, well, those prepositioned supplies and equipment no longer exist with our destroyed relations with the Sauds.
Maybe, but we kick ass on Call of Duty…
Nomsayin’?
“force depletion”
Please let’s think about it objectively. This is propaganda, sure both sides use it.
Russia has 4x the population of Ukraine and they have suffered maybe 1/2 the losses (probably more like 1/4).
Really which side is being depleted?
Good question. 😆
I would like to add that the Russian Federation’s 18-24 year olds volunteering ( not drafted) has increased hugely since the SMO. They know the score, it is now a war against NATO and the West, and US’s pet Nazis.
While the recruiting for the US is at historic lows, the amount of Russian volunteers is increasing. Think long and hard about that.
Twinkle Toes Miley and our Pentagon are well aware of the numbers. I have in the past six months spoken with four veterans that wanted to make a career in the service, but got out due to General Twinkle Toes policies. One was a West Pointer, add to that two others that were kicked out of the Army last November for refusing to take the clot shots….
Our once strong Army has been decimated.
For transport ability? We have a lot of planes sitting there in that big “airplane” parking lot out in the desert west. Why do you suppose they were never scrapped? A lot of them are fixable!
True to the point that it would take some months to get things going when things are needed...last week! LOL!
That’s a nice picture. We just need to see more of them to be certain they are in fact women.
That would increase the morale of the Russian soldiers.
Good.
The US isn’t the great new empire of the world - nor should it try to be.
I’ve known for years that Russian women are quite beautiful and have looked at pics of them in uniform before, which have been around for a few decades. This is contrary to western propaganda during the cold war where Russian women were depicted as old worn out hard core ugly hags.
If they can be trained to fight like the Middle Eastern women or the Russian girls of WWII, they will be very deadly. And I would suspect that their loyalty to Russia and their culture would exceed the current woke bunch joining western army’s.
Imagine a squad of western soldiers having a couple trannies in it pitted against a squad of Russian soldiers having a couple of normal women in it. Which will fight harder? Which one will be more apt to run? Which one will have the will to fight to the end?
The American empire is commercial. Americans are hawking their products all over the world.
Seems consistent, because the US and EU nations are busy recruiting transsexuals. Times change, as one sees it.
Interesting to observe of The Defense Post its "K Street" headquarters:
"Based in Washington D.C., The Defense Post aims to tell important stories from local or regional points of view, employing local voices to provide a counterpoint to many other defense outlets which focus on military news from their home nation's perspective.As a website, a whois query shows it was registered in 2017, so its a "newbie" as a media entity. But....1750 K Street, #300 Washington D.C. — 20006
The address is the same as:
Burnham & Gorokhov, PLLC
1750 K Street NW, Suite #300
Washington, DC 20006
Of them, that law firm site says, ":Eugene Gorokhov and Charles Burnham founded Burnham & Gorokhov, PLLC, with the goal of providing the highest level of representation to the criminally accused.

Isn't it interesting how many sites are now "expert" on Ukraine and Russia -- from a Washington, DC law office address?
Okay! Everybody in the pool!
Why do you suppose they were never scrapped? A lot of them are fixable!

Been there, long term storage, both military and commercial. Do you have any idea how long and the expense it would take? I do- we ( DOS Airwing) pulled a dozen OV10’s out- for our Plan Colombia operations a few years back…..it took two years to finally get them certified airworthy and into theatre….guess what? That was not the problem- getting aircrews, pilots….
Onto the commercial aircraft….same same, only worse. Airlines have no money or talent to get thrm airworthy on any large scale.
For a time I was involved in the Civilian Airlift Program…shuttle troops and equipment to Iraq and Afghanistan with US airlines…..we were overwhelmed, and with our C-17’s getting laid down prematurely for wing cracks, over extended maintenance checks, normal phased maintenance they could not handle the load….airframe hours piled up requiring 6-8 month special checks, …troops then went mostly by Airlines, heavy equipment and supplies went by SHIP due to the few “ transport crisis’s “ that inevitably occurred….
Fact is our military no longer has the capability or capacity to get what is needed 6,000 miles for a war with Russia….our our Twinkle Toes Pentagon knows this, and more importantly Vlad knows this….his 600 km supply train ( by trains- hundreds of tons each day) trumps the US’s 6,000 mile supply train.
Don’t bring facts into an emotional argument.
Harumph!…
Hawking a lot of military product around the world as well - with plenty of string attached.
And of course, a Navy that has to police the world to keep commerce safe, right? And since we’re already around, might has well pitch in and help in a crisis. And hey, if we had a ‘crisis’ over there, it might help these donors, or recalcitrant societies that aren’t respectful enough, and...
America has lost it’s way, and will fall because of it.
