Airsoft Federation of the Samara Region posted:

For the past week, our instructors have been training citizens called up for service as part of the partial mobilization on the territory of the Samara region. Yes, we couldn't stay away and consider it our duty to share the experience and skills that we ourselves have. A huge thanks to the Vortex team whose fighters, time after time, come to our rescue and perform at the highest level on the side of the simulation teams.

With a catastrophic shortage of training time, we give our troops the very basics:
-First Aid;
-Tactical training in a variety of environments;
-Field life and how to organize the life of the unit at the squad and platoon level.

All the guys have a very different level of training, but all have one thing in common - the upcoming, hard man's work.

We really hope that our experience will benefit them and help them perform combat missions successfully! And we've got a lot of work ahead of us!

My impression has long been that Svoboda/Volya is a western-supported cut-out group. Like most anarchists, the majority of them are pot smoking useful idiots with no idea they're being played by the imperial military-industrial complex, but the leadership above a certain level are in bed with the CIA. Freedom's purported ideology - that the wonders of the zone should be free to all mankind - certainly has its appeal, but is it really believable that some scrappy hippies just happened upon NATO small arms and uniforms in large numbers? It should be obvious to anyone with common sense that the real goal of Freedom is not to ensure the wonders of the zone are free to all, but rather to ensure that they are available to Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin.

Consider the fact that Svoboda is hostile to the government ecologists, but friendly with bandits - a group Capital can do business with, and mercenaries - the foot soldiers of Capital itself. Rather than taking some principled stand against all oppressors (as one might naively expect an anarchist to do), Svoboda allies itself with organized crime and western capital in their common fight against the forces of order. At least Duty defends the average Stalker from bandits. The Russian-aligned Ukrainian government and their allies in Dolg have done much to warrant criticism, but the only logically consistent anti-imperialist position is one of critical support for Duty and the Regime, and rejection of Volya's liberal fundamentalist crypto-imperialism

The Russian Army literally did not issue socks until the past ten years, and iirc wrap their feet for cold weather anyways which is apparently better for you. Claiming they are “out” of socks is the perfect combination of misleading and funny.

If that's linen (I can't tell) that would have other foot health related benefits.

Problem is you as a supply contractor can't charge the army $50 a pair for fancy high tech partially synthetic hiking socks they need to issue half a dozen of to every soldier if you allow them to simply wrap their feet with a bit of cloth.

Space Recon is certainly a very sexy way of saying "imagery analysis" which is a slightly less sexier way of saying "an attache dumped a bunch of sat photos with squiggles on a conference room table".

Which is all ultimately irrelevant because everything we're hearing from everyone is 100% propaganda. Is this completely fabricated? Who knows, that's the best part.

"The Military" as a monolithic organisation does what it's ordered to do by whomever is at the top, that's the whole point of instilling discipline.

The civilian side of things which includes political apparatus, contractors etc is full of graft, incompetence and flat our corruption. This applies to every country.

What you're describing "financial exploitation" never infiltrated anything. It's a feature. By design. Without a life or death existential threat everyone is just looking to milk whatever they can and the military is a great way to transfer public monies to other private parties through over charging or various deliberate inefficiencies. This is a very large topic through and there are others perhaps better suited to explaining it. You could write books on the topic and still not touch the sides.
