This doesn’t mean they’ll have 150,000 new troops, it means they’ll have 150,000 new job openings. They probably haven’t filled the other 300,000 conscriptions they listed ages ago.

It's literally the first sentence in the article...

Russia has finished drafting 150,000 conscripts into its military, its Defense Ministry said

Emphasis added.
