Reforms are now being replaced by high rates of desertion and probably bro raping conscripts as a form of hazing.
Highlights from the article below:
>desertion rates in Russian military are rising at alarming rate
>India-tier living conditions, long deployments, and lack of replacements
>these are contracted, "professional" soldiers. not conscripts
>Russian Army tricks conscripts into signing contracts by making their lives shit and telling them it gets better if they sign the paper
>" commanders made life difficult for the soldiers at the Kadamovsky training area by forcing them to sleep on boards and depriving them of adequate food and water, with the result that they suffered from frequent colds"
>men already serving as contract soldiers dissuade them, if anything were to happen to them while fighting in Ukraine, army brass would write them off or declare them deserters who had been killed by land mines while running away
Slavs have begun a return to good ol' British impressment. Ukraine isn't even a high intensity conflict. Say what you will about the US and goat herders, but at least the US military doesn't fall apart when they get dicked by toothless farmers.
How can butthurt Putinbots run damage control on weak Russian army?

if russia can't afford to house and feed their conscripts i doubt they will be able to afford robot warriors
>>34924038
If the army is so shit why do people even enlist in Russia? Not talking about conscripts, but professional contract soldiers.
Also, why is it that the Russian Officer corps full of what seems to be idiotic statistic fucks? Where do they get those guys and why are they prolific in command positions?
>>34924946
They sign contracts because they believe it grant them better conditions. It rarely does.
>>34924946
trust me russians are retards and filth. they go to army just because they can rape american and canadian colonists in future New Izrael, build in former Ukraine.
>>34924038
>Ukraine isn't even a high intensity conflict.
britbongs are busy with brexit catastrophe and eternal anglos in usa are busy hiting eachothers nutmugs about what kind of world empire they should create next. ukraine fucks lost man voices in USA and jew lobby since Trump started to finance Israel against and closed some money spedings to Ukraine for being shit at bribes and efectivness.

Commie mentality, joining government organisations guarantee stable jobs with stable pay, lack of competition than private industries, subsidize by the government and relatively little work and you can make some money from the side. That is why ex-commie countries are fucking shitholes

Sounds like bullshit to me. They get OK salaries, barracks are renovated, conditions and food are good. Also rape and desertions happen in US and other militaries
>>34928237
Being raped to death is a russia exclusive on the other hand.
>>34924038 (OP)
>War in Ukraine has stopped Russian reforms
No it was demographics. Russia ramped up military and police forces but number of military age males drooped down nearly 2x times so military is forced to enlist complete trash.
>what about planing?
Meet Russian governing who believe that high oil prices and male surplus were personally created by hard work and will of Presidente and therefore would be such forever.
>>34924946
>If the army is so shit why do people even enlist in Russia? Not talking about conscripts, but professional contract soldiers.
Russia has literally no jobs.
>>34924038
Why they even considered as threat?
>>34928237
>They get OK salaries, barracks are renovated, conditions and food are good.
Compared to Iraq, maybe.
>>34929975
Russian EMR is based on French which is considered best in the world
Barracks are fine like in every other army in the world

I saw plenty of the World in the US Army, and the Russian Army is shit, treated like shit, equipped for shit, and is a third-world force pretending they still have Soviet First-world capability.
>>34925059
..........what?

With Putin's stance of free press being that the press is free to suck his dick, those would be good things.

Two turnips have been deposited into your account.
But seriously every military is going to have a range of conditions and assignments for it's soldiers.
And no not all of the are "fine". Even in the USA we have mostly eye gaugingly boring assignments. That said I'm sure North Korea and South Sudan have wildly different barracks from a 1st world country
>>34932628
A Western soldier assigned to 29 Stumps or Polk, or on deployment generally doesn't have to worry if he'll get to eat that week, or if the NCOs are going to pick him to play "hide the pickles," though.
>>34924038
You know this is actually a good thing for russia if you think about it
Less people to supply and arm, more for everyone who sticks around

>>34932724
Some US military bases suck, but every volunteer is paid, fed and a real effort is made to see they are treated legally.
>>34932737
They are going to need to do some real downsizing, given the country is becoming Venezuela 2: Venezuela Harder.

Nah, if corruption in the US was even remotely close to that of Russia you'd know about it. Corruption has effects that can be measured and quantified.
Lets take healthcare as an example. There's a measurable and given budget going into healthcare. There's a service provided by that budget. There's also a set of guidelines and rules thar should be followed.
In Russia, healthcare is supposed to be free but isn't, you'll often be asked to pay 'fees' otherwise you will be refused treatment, and the quality provided does not match the price of the system. In the US this is not the case.
You can bitch and moan about 'muh merilards' or 'teh joos', but until you've experienced Russian corruption as well as life in a decent country, you'll never even grasp the scale of Russian corruption.

t. butthurt Pole who is still mad about Lviv
>>34937056
Lots of people deny Ukraines existence and claim that is simply an extension of their own. Poles do it alot saying that Ukraine is basically Poland and they often refrence back to the Polish-Lithuanian commonwelath when they had parts of modern day Ukraine.
Vatniks do the same thing, but Ukraine is just a section of Russia. It's all dumb bullshit becuase it obviously a country that is very much alive and kicking.
