The Russian military is seeing an influx of older contract soldiers who are largely seen as detrimental to its war effort in Ukraine, the investigative news outlet Vyorstka reported Wednesday, citing anonymous military and parliamentary sources.
Volunteer fighters aged 45 and over now make up half of new recruits in Moscow, a senior Mayor’s Office source was cited as saying. The average age of recruits has risen from 40 at the start of the year to about 50, said another Moscow Mayor’s Office source.
“They’re all sick,” a Russian soldier fighting in Ukraine was quoted as saying of these troops. “Their legs hurt, their heads hurt, and they’re slow.”
They should keep sending them into a meat grinder.
We need to give Ukraine such powerful weapons like drone swarms such that the abattoir is completely automated and 100% safe (for everyone but the livestock).
A lesson must be taught, and the only language Russians can understand, if very slowly, is their own blood.
