  1. War is a very difficult event. It cannot be assigned to generals. During WW2 (or WW1), the British suffered terrible losses of cargo ships from German submarines. The admirals cried like little girls. To solve this, a civilian official, a specialist in logistics and railways, was appointed. He came up with a convoy protection system, and the Germans began to suffer heavy losses for every cargo ship sunk.

  2. Many men in the Russian Federation have military service experience. In the army, it's not really technology that matters, but rather the very understanding of the army as a structure and system. The army scares some, pleases others. Therefore, military service is carried out at the age of 18 as a study, for a clean brain. Don't you want to study? The motherland will take care of you in the army barracks!

  3. Russians buy a fur coat when there is nothing to spend money on.

  4. Korean soldiers are an international level of trolling. Russia has millions of people of Asian type, not different from Korean (to the eyes of Europeans). And there are even 50,000 real Koreans living on Sakhalin Island.

  5. In the USSR, it was possible to change the ears and tails of wolves, foxes, and ground squirrels for cartridges. China is at a minimum.

  6. In any country, you will not be released from the army during the war.

  7. Did he serve for money or citizenship?

  8. I am 99% sure that they did not run from the army. They fled from sanctions in the banking business. Their business was tied to the West, and it began to work poorly in Russia. 1% fled because of anti-government statements about the war.

  9. From prison back to the trenches

  10. Women in the region receive a salary of $300 in small shops. This is very little for a man, especially for Siberia. In Russia, salaries are indicated after all taxes. Except for alimony. But the Ministry of Defense made the combat most of the salary protected from alimony, debts or loans. A paradise for alimony payers and debtors.

  11.  @delta_glider4362  No, no, not really. We are not talking about contracts about 300, 500 or 1000$. Soldiers in the army receive the amount shown in the advertisement. A freelancer's contract is paid for by an employee. This is tax 4-13%.

  12. There is a lack of analysis of Russian society and comparison with Western countries. For example, Russia is safer than in any Western country. There are fewer crimes than in the West. There are regions with zero crime. But the level of violence (measured in the number of murders per unit population) is very high, much higher than the EU. But in the United States, violence is even higher. Interesting conclusions can be drawn from this.

  13. The right-wing system of government makes it possible for governors to set the rules of the game. The governor cannot say that instead of 1,000 soldiers, he is ready to send 1,000 ABC people.

  14. The government will find a way to get the money you earn out of your pocket.

  15. This phenomenon appeared during the American Civil War of 1861. At that time, the wife of a deceased or deceased soldier received a war veteran's pension for the rest of her life (unless she remarried). That's why veterans are 70 years old before they die. Married a young girl. And she's been a widow all her life, counting the profits. Of course, it was a deal with relatives, and she didn't officially have a husband and children. The veteran fed his beloved relatives from the grave. The U.S. Treasury Department was crying over its mistake. For 100 years they spent money on widows. Today, the state is always looking for a way to get money out of men, and a lot of money out of soldiers. Family, wife and children are the best means of manipulating a man.

  16. Nationality doesn't always mean something. The army should have a choice of volunteers.

  17. Standard equipment is provided. Buys additional equipment at the soldier's request.

  18. Officially, the bonus is awarded upon signing a contract and is given for the purchase of equipment. But new soldiers usually make up 2/3 of the bonus for themselves, their family, or their parents. There are no reports.

  19. And ammo for money

  20. Foreigners have a special contract, with deadlines.

  21. Can't you sell to a relative to avoid inheritance tax? In Russia, there is no such tax for close relatives. But for other people, they make a fictitious sale.

  22. This is money for us. The state has no money. For the state, money is blood that circulates endlessly. They gave more blood to their fists and less to their legs. And so the body is fighting, not running away.

  23. That's the calculation. The loss of men is offset by an increase in children. The loss of money for bonuses to soldiers is compensated by pulling money out of their pockets.

  24. Don't compare the army and the mercenaries. In the army, you are under the protection of the state for the rest of your life. The income is lower, but it lasts longer and is more stable.

  25.  @guitpizz  A soldier will not be hired as a mercenary until he fights in the army. We need a lot of combat experience. And only the army will give it to a novice.

  26. The calculation is incorrect, yes. But during the war, the Soviet people lived very poorly. Social meals were on coupons. Remember that Britain abolished food stamps later than the USSR.

  27. Don't tell me fairy tales. In WW2, the draft was from 11 to 14% of the population, according to various estimates. In Germany, 14-19%.
