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.

Yep, read yesterday that a bunch of Indians signed up for guard duty in Russia and are now on the front line where 13/15 of the non Russians in the company have been killled

Their chances of survival would go up dramatically if they opt for rebellion.

We should be aiding Ukraine with a shitload of unmanned drones and lots and lots of bombs and ammo.

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

We are. And drone production is something they have down pretty good. I'd suggest now rolling out additional E-war solutions to counter the Russian drones.
