In practice many complained of not being paid on time or paid at all. https://www.businessinsider.com/drafted-russia-soldiers-on-strike-after-not-getting-paid-report-2022-11 Russian soldiers are supposed to be paid 3000-4000 per month but they have the same issues with pay as well. Reportedly it's only gotten worse since.

MAP This is the latest developments around Bakhmut based on OSINT, geolocated data, and battle information is sourced to the daily briefs of the UKR General Staff and others. The Russians are getting stalled out by Ukrainian air power, which marks a distinct uptick in aviation usage in Bakhmut specifically. Air defense is too thick on the ground in the area as seen by UKR air defense downing a RU SU-24 and Ukrainian SEAD strikes against SAMs. Ukrainian air defense also downed 8 RU recon drones, so seeing 12 Ukrainian sorties in such a short time is a departure from previous operations Russian casualties for the day reach 1,030 confirmed KIA and 4,240 casualties in total for the day (WIA/KIA/MIA). They lost 23 artillery systems today as well (sourced from minusrus). It's almost certain that Russian offensive will culminate soon if it hasn't already.

The stuff about people hoping to be rich when the come back is an every soldier kind of thing, though- Americans who maybe didn't like being in Iraq ended up back in the States with huge bank accounts because all of their major expenses are taken care of, so they end up buying ridiculous cars and spending it at strip clubs- there are cottage industries dedicated to emptying the bank accounts of returning soldiers. I kinda doubt this will be the experience of Russian soldiers.

HonorableTB posted:MAP It would be surreal at this point if Wagner/Russia culminates this whole offensive and then right at the end they just can't finish, or if gliding JDAMS is just the linchpin that halts their advance. I imagine 1000-3000lb bombs can do significantly more work than 155 arty rounds can.

Hollismason posted:I wonder what the actual regular wage is in Russia compared to working in the military. From what I can find online $600-1200/mo is the 'average' russian monthly salary. Obviously comparisons are hard based on cost of living/PPP to turn that into real USD, but it's safe to say soldiers are getting paid quite a bit more than they would be in civilian life.

I imagine 1000-3000lb bombs can do significantly more work than 155 arty rounds can. 20ish pounds HE (155) vs 300ish pounds (1klb JDAM) is a real difference, yeah. I imagine it's currently easier to get 155 right onto a moving target, though - I think the glide bombs have to be used at a distance given the highly contested environment. if Ukraine has/are using the laser guidance kits, that's a different story.

I mean inadvertantly a 3000LB bomb creates a rifle pit which can be good for defense. Better off hitting an ammo depot or a front cq

Let's remember how many times a king or Lord would hire mercenaries, not pay them, then have their hold or city burned to the ground by the unpaid mercs. The fourth crusade is a great example of this

Assume it's suddenly being brought up because of this BBC article from 28 Feb about the need for a squirrel cull. quote:A wildlife project wants to reintroduce native red squirrels and humanely cull the non-native grey squirrel. quote:"The red is our native squirrel and in Great Britain it's down to an estimated 120,000 for reds in comparison to now an estimated three million invasive greys."

A Sometimes Food posted:I assume like most game it depends on what the squirrels eat. Ones living off forage in woodlands are probably fine, ones gorged on nuts and fruits are probably delicious. Ones that raid dumpsters not so much. Squirrels in the NE US taste very bitter in the spring and fall when they're surviving on tree nuts (largely acorns). They're better in the summer, especially yearlings. Super lean like rabbit, best in stews. Source: My buddy shot a few and I grilled 'em.

As a dude who lived and worked in close proximity to Fort Bragg for most of his life, one of the core parts of my belief system is "never give anyone under 25 a bunch of money", doubly so if they're in the military.

They're rats with fluffy tails, so ask yourself why you don't eat rats and expand out from there It is actually eaten in many places - most Western folks are fully terrified of the potential for disease, but really also scared of what it signifies to be eating such a lowly regarded pest. That's for places where they don't have enough food!!! We have Plenty and do not need to resort to eating rats. That said, when I lived there I did see wood pigeon on a few menus so, it's not like you don't eat your fair share of pesty creatures.

HonorableTB posted:Pro-Ukrainian group? How could the CIA do this Pro-Ukraine can mean anything here. This was still the time in this war where Eastern Europe EU members and Germany with France were having a political infight on how to react to the war. Nordstreams getting broken beyond easy or quick fix meant that "Ignore Eastern members as a policy, and normalize relations with Russia" was no longer an option to Scholz's government. It would be a lie to say that there weren't parties inside EU that were glad to see that those gaslines went away. Der Kyhe fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Mar 7, 2023 |
