Russian Army Ramps Up Female Recruitment Amid Force Depletion

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.

Russia currently has a 1.25 million man army,

Lol, no they don't.

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

Lol, yes, Russia, a poor country with 143 million people, most of whom are alcoholics, is going to roll over NATO, a wealthy military alliance with a combined population of 957 million by... outnumbering us. I'm no math genius, but I am having trouble with that. Propaganda only works when it's believable.

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

Given it's russia, most likely they are ex-prostitutes with HIV.

I watch the following pod casts religiously:

Webb union
Military Summary
DPA War
History Legends

I also listen to Col McGregor. col Scott Ritter—-but less.

I used to listen to Alexander Mercouris but have slacked off him as I gradually realized he is too pro Russian—-too slanted.

The first 4 are map based shows and rely on military reports from both sides.

But yeah I don’t fly a helicopter around the Ukrainian battle field and get my own numbers.

Every time Ukraine does something like this ( having forbidden women of draft age to leave Ukraine and conscripting those of certain skills) it shows up in western media as a mirror report about Russia doing it.

Very curious coincidence.

Btw they still think Americans are so stupid to believe Russia is running out of soldiers?

Lets see which country first actually sends women into the trenches.

[Pilsner]

“ 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.

Another day, another lie from dullta7.

Russia extends eligibility for military call-up by at least five years

Russia has so many "18-24 year old males" that it just raised the age at which a man may be drafted by three years, to 30, the age at which prior service enlisted men may be forced back into service by ten years, to 55, and the age at which prior service junior, senior and very senior officers may be forced back into service by five years, to 60, 65 and 70!

But Col. Pavel appreciates your support of the Rodina, and wants to buy you a drink when he gets back from deployment. Za Zdarovje!

That’s what the Nazis thought…Russians, an easy roll over. Today’s Russia is not Soviet Russia….AND today’s US and Allies are far, far from what they were 80 years ago….just ask general Twinkle Toes and his morally corrupted, bloated DOD.

The Fat Lady is getting on stage…..thank you Joe!

[delta7]

And of course, a Navy that has to police the world …

Those days are coming to an end- drones, hypersonic missiles, 600 mph Squall torpedoes,…..the first engagement with anyone other than a bunch of under equipped Islamic types puts an end to that era….simple observation ( no emotion) screams of an up coming US military defeat….compliments of Twinkle Toes Milley and senile Joe…..for all the world to witness.

🤔 🤔 🤔

[Alter Kaker]

Despite what Putin would have you believe, absolutely nobody's trying to conquer Russia these days so I'm not too worried about Luxembourg's Army getting bogged down in Stalingrad.

Today’s Russia is not Soviet Russia…

Exactly! In 1939, the USSR had a population more than twice that of Nazi Germany. Today, Russia has 1/8 the population of NATO. Russia is a rounding error, a sad joke. Russia is currently getting mauled by its fourth rate neighbor, Ukraine, but hey if they play their cards right maybe in their third year of war they'll finally "liberate" the Donbas.

“Btw they still think Americans are so stupid to believe Russia is running out of soldiers?”

No kidding. Last year some neocons were even saying that russia is recruiting prisoners !

[Alter Kaker]

No kidding. Last year some neocons were even saying that russia is recruiting prisoners !

But if they are recruiting prisoners, it will be carefully done and controlled. Those Wagner guys I hear are completely reliable.

[Grzegorz 246]

Russia stronk !

[This_Dude]

Not the way idiot ukrainians waste troops. They’ll just attack a dug in defense in depth line over and over and over for months. NO ONE does that except maybe Chinese in the Korean war. Just because they invaded doesn’t mean troop formations don’t take a defensive posture when the need raises.

Like during a ukenazi counterattack on a given position, say.

Ukraine has lost hundreds of thousands of men at this point and the Russians MAYBE 110K, if that.

Learn something about tactics before posting.

And as far as asking the other poster if they’re “your” numbers, why don’t you go look up their respective populations? You clearly have an internet connection.

Try to convince the people of Russia. They back Vlad overwhelmingly in fighting NATO and the collective West. …and do recall, their Congress ( yes Congress) and five provinces voted to be admitted to the Russian Federation. It is their LAW, Vlad and his citizens will not give them up.

Have you seen the huge billboards across Russia? “Return ( take back) Odessa”.
After the Neo-Nazi Ukies burned alive 50 Russians in the infamous Trade Union massacre in 2014, they will never forget…..Russians have a very long memory, unlike Americans.

Don’t argue with me, argue away with the Russian populace- their resolve and nationalism is astounding and enduring….unlike the current American crowd.

“ On 2 May, 2014, dozens of people burned alive in the Odessa Trade Union House. A few escaped by leaping from the windows just to be beaten to death by the pro-Maidan mob outside. The police stood by and did nothing.

From thecommunists.org:

Nine years later, the survivors and the victims’ families are still seeking truth and justice for their loved ones amid a cover-up by the state and the connivance of western institutions including the Council of Europe, the European Union and others.

In fact, the only criminal cases that have been opened by the Kiev administration are against those who were attacked, as Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov explained earlier this year.

“We know the truth,” Sasha says. “We know who did this and they are being protected. But we will not give up. Those who died deserve justice. We need to heal the pain.”

She was on the streets of Odessa just months after the democratically elected government of President Viktor Yanukovych was overthrown in a US-backed coup after he refused to sign a deal integrating Ukraine more closely into the European Union.

“We objected to this meddling, this was not what we wanted. Fascists were taking over the country because of the west. They were helping them to control Ukraine and to kill us,” she says.

“I will never forget that day for as long as I am alive. The Banderists and fascists were killing people and the whole world looked away,” Sasha continues. “All we wanted was to be treated like humans, but they treated us like animals, cockroaches. This was terrorism.”…..

You can pull up the thousands of articles that predate the war, acknowledged by the world.

More than that- Col Macgregor mentioned satellite photos he saw show huge new cemeteries popping up all over Ukraine, 120,000 plus new graves since spring- his Pentagon buddies know the score, the collective West doesn’t.

The war cheerleaders are getting ready to wake up with one heck of a hangover drinking the western MSM whiskey! Meanwhile, prepare for the Fat Lady to begin singing.
