I don't know how they're going to get there - conditions sound awful in the Army. I think conscription accounts for something like 15-20% of their Army, and I believe they've been having trouble filling their intended numbers of volunteers for military service.

Was this the book you ready? http://amzn.com/1846270405

Pfttt. Russia's military is built on conscription. The average Russian soldier has the tact of an American high schooler. There is no professionalism or expertise. They can't afford to give their troops the hundreds of hours of training like the US.

Read this book - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1846270405?pc_redir=1397886363&amp;robot_redir=1 -

How shitty their military has fared against Chechens and Georgians is embarrassing considering the technological gaps.

Edit: how the hell did I forget dedovschina. The biggest reason for their lack of discipline and morale. The book goes into it as well. Its sick what those kids have to go through.
