It's important to remember two things here, that (1) Ukraine is almost definitely having similar problems because of their similar recruitment problems and (2) these problems arise because of a shortage of people willing to volunteer- both Ukraine and Russia have millions of people in reserves but not the political capital to use them.
Steven Seagal didn't like the fact you displayed him as a new recruit in the Russian army. And don't start telling that isn't him when they look so similar. Look at him run. It's obviously him.
@randomwarehouse4702 The Ukr govt refuses to lower the conscription age below 25 to preserve the youth for tomorrows families: even in direst stress they see the future clearly, and it is a bright future. ruz prez, by contrast, dare not implement general mobilization, so he buys meatwaves.
I thought that too ... Poor guys, at least some of them would need psychosocial support and a deprivation clinic. This scene reminds me of the Nazis arming old men and way too young boys in the last weeks of WWII, sending them to their graves ...
Thats just really heavy alcoholism. By the way its core putin audience so not really sad at all. I have 1% sympathy towards them because we are all humans , but thats about it.
I'm a veteran, and I'm gonna be honest we used Alcohol to cover a lot of issues in our lives. These guys have probably been so whacked out by now just look at their eyes it's dead blank. If they are mentally impaired it's due to their circumstances.
I thought I should try to come up with some sarcastic comment, but I can't think of anything more sarcastic than this video itself. The russian army has outsarcasted me. They win.
@@thiscommentsdeleted At least two of these guys seem to be suffering from "pickled brain", and one sounds like he's already smoked his way into lung cancer.
This is not training. Given the clutter in those woods, those guys are in a forward area not far from the front line. In other words, they are about to go to a front line unit. Frankly some of them look as if they are disabled, and have been sent from a mental health unit. I dare say Putin and his cronies regard them as expendable.
I don't think Ukraine has even started. All we've been seeing is the western 2/3 of Ukraine fighting in a war while the eastern part has been being pushed around by Russia. Once the people in the east get sick of both the warring sides using them as punching bags, they might actually strike out and defeat both sides simultaneously.
This breaks my heart. I’m a retired professional soldier, 28 years worth of service, I never deployed a soldier who was not trained, fit, technically and tactically capable and proficient. You must be able to shoot, move and communicate on the battlefield; I can’t see any of these men lasting more than a few minutes in a gunfight. These men are NOT there to win a battle, much less, the SMO, what they are going to do is cause the Ukrainian army to use precious resources to kill these men. Those resources, once used/expended, are no longer available to be used to kill other, more capable soldiers.
Exactly. It's sickening to watch this, also fully knowing that the Russians are using such methods to just rid themselves of parts of their population that no longer has any "worth" for them.
Plus you know they are for sure getting whole groups of guys killed just by being out there. That alone is enough to say no to this nonsense. First time I saw a group like this I thought it was a Ukrainian prank. But the video evidence is indisputable. Looks like they're running in groups of 4 with a 1 to 3 ratio. Grandpa takes the drone while he other guys take off. I believe they may view it as a feature not a bug. I've seen it several times now. One old guy and a fit kid were driving a transport tractor. A drone showed up and the kid took off. Didn't try to help the old man or shoot the drone down just took off. The old man shambled around the tractor trying to avoid the drone thinking he could wave the bothersome thing off. Sad end and the kid was long gone. Plenty of groups of 3 and 4 where the last guy in line just stops for the drone drop clearly winded by his last ever 10 meter dash. Kids live grandpa dies. Probably pick up a couple at the depot every mission. Just sick pups one and all.
In gamer's language: Bullet Sponges, just these are living people not game. We have a guy her that come back from the Ru front, forcibly mobilized when 16yo. Was MG42 operator: "They sent huge waves like 10.000 men, poorly or no armed, shouting URAAAAA. IF we had enough ammo and the other guy did not fumble when changing the red hot barrel, there was no problem, just the piles of dead bodies stretching to horizon...after the attack, and so it went day after day. THIS is the reason they lost millions in WWII.
One thing which we must never forget is: Russia started this war when it Invaded Ukraine in 2014 and then Invaded Ukraine again in 2022. The only threat from Ukraine was that Ukraine wanted to join the EU and Ukraine wanted to join NATO, also Ukraine had hard workers and was able to manage it's own affairs without any Russian interference.

Oh my God! This so called country have ZERO mercy in regards to its citizens! It's so, so sad! As a former soldier I find this appalling, utterly dishonorable, unjust and again.....sad!
russia lost several million highly trained proffesionals and academics... and then they started a war in 2022... While looking at tanks without towers, FPVs attacking the scooby-do vans and conscripts with Mosins... russia lost the war BEFORE they even invaded Georgia: Nobody with marketable skills would ever stay there, the only thing of worth left was natural resources and those were stolen by greedy warlords, warlords who wantet to steal even more, necassitating more war. The people recruited now are those too unskilled to flee and too meek to raise up against the parasitic warlords.
This is what greed does to a society left unchallenged. All that competition will squeeze the everything out of everything, leaving nothing but ruin. We must challenge corruption wherever we see it.
Can’t believe the Russians managed to make me feel sorry for them. This is just sad. Guess they can’t conscript all the twenty somethings doing coding jobs in Moscow though.
True, but the demographic in Ukraine is similar - It is forty year olds making up the bulk of the Defenders of Democracy at the moment because their age distribution is also a post-soviet one. Which is why we need to give Ukraine all the systems that replace men in a trench wherever possible.
@@occamraiser And also why Ukraine is hesitant to lower its enlistment age, and Russia also hesitant to reactivate another round of general mobilizations, because at this point, the people drafted will be the children closer to those who keep him in power. Ergo, Putin is putting off that mobilization as long as possible.
@dsfs17987 I don't know that trick might have just been water cuz they're able to still stand up if you throw a bottle of vodka to a brigade of Russians they will kill each other trying to get it I bet that's how the first red on red started in the Soviet Union fighting over vodka

You getting it wrong...this is a training video of a new russian army branch after the mine detecting units......those are soldiers of the new established drone decoy units.
Jeesh. I'm 65. Those guys are younger than me, but at the same time way older. See kids, this is what a life of drugs and alcohol will do to you, coupled up with living in poverty.
And smoking: you could hear that from the voice of one of them. Absolutely destroys your aerobic capabilities and running performance. So it is being that overweight. I don't know where these came from, but I doubt you get that fat in a Russian prison.
It was wonderful to hear the beautiful music in the background of the Message of Appreciation from the Ukrainian Volunteer Centre, a song known in English as 'Ring, Christmas Bells'. This song is originally Ukrainian and has a delightful Ukrainian feel to it.
That's just sad. The rich, smart and beautiful ones send the poor ugly and stupid to fight their fight to get even richer. Very depressing and brootal to look at.
Russia may look for younger recruits from Africa and South America. North Korea likely did not send their best. It is hard to figure out how this carnage will end, but Ukraine surrendering territory looks very unlikely at the moment. SLAVA UKRAINI.
There are already spottings/reports/POWs of Africans and Middle Easterners, as well as some Chinese and Indians/south Asians. Haven't heard of any Latinos on the Russia side, though there is vids of Colombians and Brazilians fighting as volunteer soldiers with Ukraine.
They can’t seem to collect any armor at all in Kursk. Those NK troops are just running around. For the past 2 years we have seen this coming, but it looks like they might finally be running out of gear. Let’s hope 2025 will bring better news than 2024. Happy New Year’s to everyone
In fairness I would say these are the worst of conscript units gathered in one place. Very probably homeless men that have been rounded up and put in uniform. But that they were put in uniform at all suggests Russian recruitment is scraping deep into the bottom of the barrel.
@daydays12 Could be Ukrainian propaganda. They take some known goofy POWs who may or may not have mental problems, give them a lot of vodka first, then threaten to execute them, and start rolling. I mean it could be genuine, not saying it definitely is staged, but what are the odds of having 6 mentally disabled people in the same group for basic training?
I hoped this was a joke, but apparently not. At least in the Great Patriotic War you understood that you were up the creek assigned to Shtraf units, these guys don’t seem to have any situational awareness at all. Saddest thing I have seen.
Hmm looks to be Private Cheeseman, Private Sponge, Private Godfrey, Lance Corporal Jones, Private Frazer and of course it had to be Private Pike taking a wander off into the distance. Im going to go out on a limb and guess that Captain Mainwaring has decided to go down the pub to drown his sorrows?
Russia is paying $6k month for soldiers. That's more than what our new troops make. It's what, 4X the average good wage in Russia? This is the best they can get for that kind of money?
I don't think these guys are getting any money. They're PROMISED money maybe but I'd guess they are expected to die before they receive their first paycheck.
monthly salary in Russian army for soldiers on Ukranian soil is 200 thousand rubles, that's $2k current exchange rate. Sign-up one time bonus is 2 million ruble, so $20k. Average (not median, so skewed up) is 70k ruble a month, so average person is making $500 to $700 a month. Russian soldiers outside Ukraine make around 40k ruble a month, including Kursk oblast, which is a warzone
@@rs70valkyrie16 Any evidence they are getting the full sign-up bonus on enlistment, or is it broken into partial payments? (that get "taxed" various ways).
These are men who signed up because the salary is more than they could earn in the rest of their lives, thus supporting their relatives through their life insurance. Their best future is to be formally declared a 200 rather than a 300 or just missing. Unfortunately they aren't even useful in an infantry vehicle hitting a mine
Honestly, what the flux do you want to do with those guys ? I'm 57 and I feel I can be less pointless in a military than those poor sods. At least, I can do what I am doing now for a living : a desk job.
THis is not what they are left with, its what is doable in Russia. They have different policy and lack of human rights, so they can send people who are elsewhere unwanted or disabled. Its taking the useless people that contribute little to society or are a burden, and use them to scout out enemy positions or make the Ukrainians who lack ammo use their artillery on these poor people. RU has a pool of 400k prisoners, and some of those are able to be sent to the zero line or Storm-Z units, which strategically is not a bad idea at all given the situation that Ukraine is in. The Russian army gains ground doing this, and have no repercussions or backlash yet from its population. Besides prisoners, remote regions in East Russia see an uptake of wifes and relatives to husbands that google "how do i get my husband to join the army", because of the huge bonuses in signing up, frontline duty and even getting killed will release enough money to be equal to what a person would earn in a lifetime in these regions. Read more real newspapers, and watch the documentaries on the war on the strategy Russia uses and why
What do you expect? The smart ones know it's a one-way ticket, so they stay away. That leaves dumb ones. Not training them also makes sense, why waste time and money on soldiers that will die during their first assault?
Video I wanted to do today, got age restricted three times. So it's on Patreon for free. This is the backup option.
What was the video of that was age restricted
It's important to remember two things here, that (1) Ukraine is almost definitely having similar problems because of their similar recruitment problems and (2) these problems arise because of a shortage of people willing to volunteer- both Ukraine and Russia have millions of people in reserves but not the political capital to use them.

@daydays12 Could be Ukrainian propaganda. They take some known goofy POWs who may or may not have mental problems, give them a lot of vodka first, then threaten to execute them, and start rolling.
I mean it could be genuine, not saying it definitely is staged, but what are the odds of having 6 mentally disabled people in the same group for basic training?
russia is such a tragic country
Slava ukraine hero slava 🇺🇦🤝🇬🇧
I hoped this was a joke, but apparently not. At least in the Great Patriotic War you understood that you were up the creek assigned to Shtraf units, these guys don’t seem to have any situational awareness at all. Saddest thing I have seen.
One Mick Jagger is worth 50 of these guys! 🇺🇦
Waiting for the yt delete….
Only one missing is chairman Steven Seagal.
Hmm looks to be Private Cheeseman, Private Sponge, Private Godfrey, Lance Corporal Jones, Private Frazer and of course it had to be Private Pike taking a wander off into the distance. Im going to go out on a limb and guess that Captain Mainwaring has decided to go down the pub to drown his sorrows?
Russia is paying $6k month for soldiers. That's more than what our new troops make. It's what, 4X the average good wage in Russia? This is the best they can get for that kind of money?
I don't think these guys are getting any money. They're PROMISED money maybe but I'd guess they are expected to die before they receive their first paycheck.
monthly salary in Russian army for soldiers on Ukranian soil is 200 thousand rubles, that's $2k current exchange rate. Sign-up one time bonus is 2 million ruble, so $20k. Average (not median, so skewed up) is 70k ruble a month, so average person is making $500 to $700 a month. Russian soldiers outside Ukraine make around 40k ruble a month, including Kursk oblast, which is a warzone
@@rs70valkyrie16 Any evidence they are getting the full sign-up bonus on enlistment, or is it broken into partial payments? (that get "taxed" various ways).
These are men who signed up because the salary is more than they could earn in the rest of their lives, thus supporting their relatives through their life insurance. Their best future is to be formally declared a 200 rather than a 300 or just missing. Unfortunately they aren't even useful in an infantry vehicle hitting a mine
I’d hazard a guess these old boys were forced to sign up rather than doing so voluntarily.
I can’t imagine the damage another mobilisation would do if this is what they prefer to do instead, what a sorry “country”.
Tks.
Cda.
Спасибо ВСУ за пропавших без вести орков! Луганск с вами!
Spetsnaz GRU material for sure.
This is why Russia must lose, so they can finally move on from their destructive ways and past mentality of aggressive expansion and bullying.
They can't....the last 33 years proves it. They can't be bothered.
That was incredible
I can't handle the guy who got back first
He was quick to follow orders, turning around again
Honestly, what the flux do you want to do with those guys ? I'm 57 and I feel I can be less pointless in a military than those poor sods. At least, I can do what I am doing now for a living : a desk job.
THis is not what they are left with, its what is doable in Russia. They have different policy and lack of human rights, so they can send people who are elsewhere unwanted or disabled. Its taking the useless people that contribute little to society or are a burden, and use them to scout out enemy positions or make the Ukrainians who lack ammo use their artillery on these poor people.
RU has a pool of 400k prisoners, and some of those are able to be sent to the zero line or Storm-Z units, which strategically is not a bad idea at all given the situation that Ukraine is in. The Russian army gains ground doing this, and have no repercussions or backlash yet from its population. Besides prisoners, remote regions in East Russia see an uptake of wifes and relatives to husbands that google "how do i get my husband to join the army", because of the huge bonuses in signing up, frontline duty and even getting killed will release enough money to be equal to what a person would earn in a lifetime in these regions. Read more real newspapers, and watch the documentaries on the war on the strategy Russia uses and why
It's really sad to see. But I hope the sixth one did ome thinking and made his way home.
Those 2 'zeros' 👀
Run Sucho! those 2 dinosaurs are catching you up 🤣
Kinda feel sad for them.
🎶 "ve vish you a merry Christmas..." 🎶 😂 Slava Ukraini!
" Couldn't even outrun me " had me in tears 😂😂
Quite shocking. I will say no more.
Where is the Benny Hill tune?
It is calley Yakety Sax by Boots Randolph.
Just one word...sad.
these are, intellectually, the best-they surrendered
Cheers for this! made me laugh! Happy new year Suchomimus keep up the great news and info
Happy New Year!
Oh my goodness, can not recover from that I really do not know if to laugh or cry😂
cry....... Putin is the vilest of the vile
What do you expect? The smart ones know it's a one-way ticket, so they stay away. That leaves dumb ones. Not training them also makes sense, why waste time and money on soldiers that will die during their first assault?
This is a sorry lot, and POO-Tin has also been using press gangs. This is why the constant threat of using nukes.
They truly put the special in military operation.
