The use of crippled/wounded Russian men as soldiers is not the only or even the most important indicator that Russia has hit the mobilization wall⬇ï¸Â

Nor are female prisoners, foreign mercs or DPRK soldiers.

Russia is now deploying Hitlerjugend-esque child-soldiers.

So Russia is already unleashing the Russian equivalent of the Volkssturm and Volksgrenadiere after just 2 years even though he had already made extensive use of PMCs and penal units beforehand??

Putin will have to make a very difficult choice in the coming months. He will have to choose to prioritize his military economy or recruit more soldiers to compensate for the losses, as he doesn't have the personnel anymore to do both. In other words, Russia will either have fewer, somewhat better equipped units or more units, but very poorly equipped ones.

Good to hear of these misfortunes of Russia's forces
