As to the military, lots of conscripts, young lads who don't want to be & are not inclined towards military life. Intense basic training as Infantry, point, shoot, stab, then a few days specialising as gunners & armour drivers, same principle, point & shoot but no indepth skills or knowledge, a half decent militia could break these youngsters.


Unfortunately the above are of no value to Putin & are simply the waves of destruction to take the brunt. Meanwhile while his "Hard core" professionals & fanatics are held back to roll over the resistance once its' used its firepower & limited munitions on the fodder.
