I can foreseen a larger numbers of people wanting to sign a contract now that Patriotism is on the rise over the Ukraine affair.

Well, everyone but a certain member on this forums.

Apparently they are taking experienced personnel on a 3 or 6 month contracts.

Why only 3 to 6?  I wouldn't sign a contract for less than a year. Unless it is a pre-contract where they see if you are capable as is before a longer term contract.

Not sure, don't especially understand why a 3 month contract.

The State Duma proposed to abolish the age limit for the conclusion of the first contract in the army

A draft law on the abolition of the age limit for the conclusion of the first contract for military service has been submitted to the State Duma. This was reported on the website of the system for ensuring the legislative activity of the State Duma.

“The purpose of the bill is to eliminate the age limit for citizens of working age (foreign citizens), at which they are given the right to conclude the first contract for military service,” the explanatory note to the document states.

It also notes that, according to the law "On military duty and military service", it is stipulated that the first contract for military service can be concluded by Russian citizens aged 18 to 40 years, and foreign citizens - from 18 to 30 years.

The explanatory note emphasizes that this contributes to the recruitment of specialists in demanded specialties (medical support, engineering, maintenance, operation, communications, etc.)

Earlier, a poll was conducted in Russia , which showed that the majority of Russians vote for the formation of the armed forces on a contract basis (55%). Only one in five Russians (21%) believes that the country needs a draft army. Moreover, among the men who served, there are twice as many supporters of conscription service than among those who did not serve (26 and 13%, respectively), but the majority are still for the contract army (65% among those who served and 72% among those who did not serve).

Information about this today, May 23, in the morning was posted on the official page of the district administration on the VKontakte social network . It was reported that a contract can be concluded for a period of 3 to 12 months. The monthly monetary allowance of contractors will be from 300 thousand rubles.

300k that's 4600 euros per month or so. And that's just starting money... That's like 10x times more than what average Russians earn, it's insane.

With such wages, there is literally no need to have mobilization.

Interesting numbers. Would assume this would be for contract personnel versus conscript or overall numbers.

DPR and LPR will join Russia soon. Kherson and Zaporoshiya, too. The "militias" and "volunteer units" from these places will be officially incorporated into the Russian Armed Forces.

Funny that you have mentioned that right now, as this was my thought
Just after I have read in the local MSM how the whole concept is outrageous, but what is more important - how stupid.
As it can't be fulfilled - another PR stunt fro the Kremlin.
They have already informed the public how the Russkies desert en masse, need to carry out a forceful mobilization, shaved the strategic forces of the personnel and throw them into the meatgrinder as regular troopers - and to not make you wonder, it is a mighty Ukro army who is grinding them, of course.

Now, I know that you can read just similar shit in Germany, imagine how a normal, ordinary human being can be above this propaganda? It is impossible.

Possible that Bulgakov will go to the new republics/regions?

He is 68 and some feel that he has not done the best job but who knows...

Bulgakov was dismissed. They might put him to some position of lesser importance before retirement.

It looks like this fat **** will be gone soon, as well.

If tomorrow Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of the Belgorod region - a key region for conducting the NVO and directly bordering on the area of ​​military operations, and the person directly responsible for partial mobilization, arrives in Moscow with a complaint about the formal, thoughtless and frankly bestial attitude towards the presidential decree on the part of the regional military commissar Valeriy Hrytsay, who has lived most of his life in the Kyiv region (where his mother still lives), thanks to whom mobilized and motivated people, firstly, have been sitting at the motorsport complex for the third day without food, sleeping places, maintenance and clear prospects, and the unsystematic enrollment includes even elderly invalids who hardly cling to life - the Office will only support this appeal of the governor.

This is not even connivance and indifference - this is real sabotage on the part of a person who is obliged to ensure the full staffing of the Russian Army with combat-ready personnel.

P.S. This is actually very good. Purge the fuckers from the system.
