At least this war should be a wake up call for all Russia fanboys who think it's a some kinda superpower... or even a great power. Britain and France took a long time to accept that they aren't colonial superpowers anymore, but eventually most of them accepted the reality, Russians haven't yet gotten over the fact that empire is gone as has it's superpower status, and i'm sure this is a wake up call for them like Suez was for Britain & France.

Average citizens over the globe might have believed before this war that Russia is a superpower what could roll trought Europe with ease but that propaganda won't work anymore.
In your opinion, what are the chances for Finland to join NATO? :undecided:

The situation is almost definitely a lot worse for the Ukrainians.
Ukraine is calling for aid from anyone that cares to listen. People living in the UK and ex-veterans are being payed 1 and a half thousand British pounds a day for fighting in Ukraine
Obviously the war is going worse for the Ukrainians as it seems.
That's a rumor.

I personally have one of those form a friend send me for the International Legion, you pay 340 hryvnia a days like every other Ukrainian soldier. You don't get pay 1500 pound a day to fight in Ukraine. I can send it to you if you wanted.

Also, 16,000 foreign fighter are nothing compare to the standing army of 240,000 Ukrainian and about 900,000 reservist. It's not going to change the situation with that 16,000 foreign fighter.

I don't know if anyone is offering bozo 1500 pound to fight in Ukraine for a day, I mean, I don't know all the bozo in the world, but Ukrainian are not paying foreigner 1500 pounds a day to fight in Ukraine.

Will these reservists be any good for actual fighting? I don't know if they are a real para military force :undecided:

In modern warfare where high tech equipment is being used, physical fitness is not that critical.

At worst they will work as eyes on the ground.

For those clueless muslims who think russia is their friend. Look how is funding the far right anti muslim groups in europe. Russia of course.


It was done in WW2. and it seems to have worked.
First of all, Soviet counter offensive is not just 5 millions dude with mosin-nagant fighting back the German war machine, it's a combine force of Artillery, Tanks, Fighters and other material command. Smaller conscript level also worked in localised combat, but then you are talking about localised combat and it's Soviet Union manpower, not Russian manpower

If you try this 5 millions conscript rifle run now, you will get cut to pieces by modern weapon. I mean, unless you are living in a cave. Combat Power have improved A WHOLE LOT since WW2.

Another issue is Soviet Doctrine of logistic, the dependence of Railway support means there aren't any means to effectively support that many amount of troop in theatre, again, just look at the situation now, you are talking about a war effort for 200,000 or so troop, and they made a big mess out of it, I would love to see what can they do for 5 millions troop in theatre.....

They are like any other reservist, they are what we so called in-and-out of the program. Which mean they are required to do service time once in a while, and then that responsibility is release.

They are trained in fighting, in fact, most of the reservist were the one that were deployed to Donbas and relieved for duty from regular rotation. They are more or less the same as regular troop, you just need some time to train them and equip them.

There are 3 type of Army Reservist in Ukraine.

Type 1 is the Reservist with 60 days training over 2 years, Type 2 is Reservist with 30 days training over 2 years and that made up the bulk of Current Reserve Force, there are a type 3, mobilisation reserve, that's basically everyone who can be drafted, will be drafted.
