This is approximately how many soldiers are needed to carry out operations to capture Kharkov.
The Russian military strategy currently consists in sending unprepared soldiers into battle first
(cannon fodder), with the vast majority of them being killed, followed by specialized and well-trained units.
This strategy is nothing new; it was defined by Stalin as 'людей у нас много'.

Sorry but this is extremely misleading, It's not a mobilisation but a routine conscription.

''All men in Russia are required to do a year-long military service, or equivalent training during higher education, from the age of 18.''

It's basic training and they are not sent to the front. Most countries do this at times of war.

The Ukraine army say they need 500,000 'replacements' while Zelensky says they have only lost 31,000 killed.

Meanwhile Chuck Watson in the video posted just above explains the detailed surveillance of satellite photos confirms a massive increase in cemetery size in Ukraine that cannot be seen in Russia.

The UK MOD confirm that Russia is signing up 30,000 volunteers a month and the the very pro-Ukrainian BBC help collate Russian casualty numbers for Mediazona (does not include data from PMCs such as Wagner).

In an artillery war where you have a 10:1 advantage you will likely have a 10:1 kill advantage.
