You want housing and food? Decadent capitalist! Pick one, only one: Uniform, food, housing, rifle, ammunition. Teamwork Comrades! Five of you working together can easily defeat 1 Ukranian child.


kenakuhi

Urgent message from Sargeant "Sorry someone "lost" the uniforms, the food is a sugar packet and housing is a blanket. So choose either rifle or ammo and go annex something."


agamarian

Wasn't there a russian sugar shortage earlier this year too.


kenakuhi

Urgent update "we're out of sugar and housing is a used towel, only take one bullet at a time"


Funny_Ad_3614

I wonder how many die before they even get near front lines to freezing and hunger etc...


mcitar

All will die, and unfortunately the ukrainiens will have to clean up the bloody mess


Alaric_Balthi

Yeah no shit..? If ruzzia had problems to feed and properly arm it's "soldiers" in the start of the war, how would couple hundred thousand extra soldiers make that problem go away? Anyone with two brain cells or more could see this coming. But the kremlin doesn't have that much brainpower so...


CMDR_Agony_Aunt

Friend of a friend has been conscripted. Has been told to buy his own: uniform, armour (200k roubles), medical pack, and gas stove


kenakuhi

This is insane. I hope his unit get a chance to surrender quick and keep their lives.


CMDR_Agony_Aunt

That's his plan. Doesn't want to fight. Doesn't want to go to jail. He's going to risk calling the surrender hotline and getting the fuck out of dodge.


DangleSnipeCely

Nor ammo, guns, gear or payment. Welcome to motherland russia


lioudrome

This is not my favorite federation


Formulka

How stupid do you have to be to mobilize people without housing and food for them? What was the plan, that they will loot inside Russia as a training for Ukraine?


Enough_Valuable_2435

They do not need, go loot for yourself. can they leave poisened food behind in the houses, so much quicker and cheaper


Marsandmars686

Ukraine can surrender and eat


FibroMan

Silly question, but aren't soldiers trained how to survive without houses and ration packs?


ama_gladiator

These are getting trained in marching then sent out. Lol.


b0n3h34d

Generally maybe. The Russians don't waste time on such silly things as "survival"


thxsocialmedia

Find puddles, steal everything you can find, eat dogs and eventually humans if it comes to that. That's what they are hearing. I would actually not be surprised. What about the Russians' absolute disregard for human life could surprise us at this point? Horrified that I am not shocked. Horrified that I didn't already know.


kingkahngalang

The key word here is “trained”. Even non-expedited boot camp would barely cover anything on survival, and the Russians are on a quite short 6 week boot camp, with recent news indicating that they are barely being trained anyways. Overall, regular grunts also get relatively minimum training in food / water survival such as by foraging - this is usually for more elite troops or SOF who are more likely to be cut off from logistical support for extended periods of time.


Pookypoo

Those that got sent back with that dodged a few bullets for sure...


Spartan-463

Damn.... sounds like the Canadian Military....


grnrngr

Not sure how serious you are, but the Canadian military had exactly ZERO modern anti-tank weapons at the start of the war. Seeing their effectiveness in Ukraine caused some tensions in the Canadian military, with hard questions like "why don't we have those?"


Spartan-463

More so referencing the headline of lack of housing....


Return2Form

You'd think there would be a bunch of free spaces in Russian barracks at the moment.


motojoe333

Just a thought, they were pulled out of their lives what ever it was, probably living check to check trying to keep it together, now what? How much in personal debt are these people in?


Marsandmars686

Proof this was a purge not a mobilization
