...“According to Russian military doctrine, at least on paper, 76th Division is a part of their strategic reserves, underscoring the seriousness of the move,”
Can’t be, the trolls said that all VDV is wiped out under Kiev in Spring 2022.
Which trolls?

To say they are one of the best left and still severely degraded are not mutually exclusive ideas.
