  1. Putin will start pulling children when the need arises. Shifting military personnel from naval duty to infantry was easy.

    Plus, less weight will help keep the Kuznetsov from sinking.

  2. This carrier is defunced anyway.

    Sad that sailors are not even trained for infantry combat.

  3. The carrier is a floating wreck anyway… it is not going to sail again…

    There is a certain logic to the move as the Russisn fleet is unlikely to get any new ships anytime soon requiring trained personel…

  4. I wonder how many of them already called the surrender hotline

  6. This is what you get in a war that is not going great and where various interests with power in a dictatorial government both need to contribute to the broader effort and not just hand over “their people” to some other group.. Think of the Luftwaffe “Field Divisions” or the motley collection of various SS national divisions/brigades/regiments/etc…

  7. The commanders told them that Ukraine was less of a death trap than that carrier. They might not be completely lying.

  8. That’s what we want to see, Russia cannibalizing itself👍

  10. It wasn’t going anywhere soon or most likely ever again anyway. The grinder requires more meat.

  11. Join the Navy, see the world….still end up in Army.

  12. Desperate, Yes. But… and hear me out… these soldiers have likely trained together a lot more therefore they will be a relatively cohesive unit.

  13. I read that they were not sent, they demanded to be sent to fight for the Motherland

  14. Makes you wonder if Russia will be selling that ship to get some sorely needed cash.

  15. So 1500 men? They will be enough to feed the machine for a little more than a day then…

  18. Why do I keep seeing this story over and over again the past few days?

  19. It screams an onset of realism regarding their little carrier’s odds of ever sailing again

  20. It’s a bad time to be a Russian with a penis and working limbs.
