“Total clusterfuck.” Old guns, boots covered with moss, zero training: one Russian recruit’s story of the mobilisation
Vladimir Putin announced the ‘partial mobilisation’ on September 21, and just 10 days later many of the newly drafted recruits found themselves in their units. This is the story told by one recruit from the city of Kaliningrad awaiting deployment. He describes sheer dysfunction at his base:
"I am now at the regiment base on Yemelyanova street. I was drafted on September 24. About the training: we only received two magazines max, thirty rounds each. At the range we were allowed to shoot ten times prone, ten times sitting, and ten times offhand. Guys in my unit only got to use one magazine. We went to the shooting range once, and that’s in a whole week.
15 minutes of medical training, theory. 15 minutes of tactical training. Crawled ten meters one way, ten meters back — and that’s it. Then another 15 minutes of comms training: they showed us the radio, buttons to push and stuff. No hands-on experience, no fucking nothing. Then 15 minutes on how to lay mines. They only showed it, no one got a chance to try. And that’s all the training we had."
/.../
"Yesterday we received assault rifles. We figured, those must be from emergency supplies, all covered in oil. Some people got rusty rifles. This young guy, he wants to strip [his rifle], pulls the spring and it just snaps and falls to pieces inside the gun. What if something like this happens in Ukraine? What are you gonna do? Where are you gonna find a new weapon? Some of the magazine pouches are torn. Rags are falling apart, because they were in storage for so many years. My rifle is from 1980. All in all, they give us old junk."
Han avslutar med att beskriva hur mängder med epilepsi-sjuklingar släpats in som rekryter, inslängda i "träningen" och hur en av dem i samband med detta dör på kasernområdet:
"All in all, he died right at the checkpoint. We haven’t even been deployed yet and already have a ‘gruz 200.’" 
('gruz 200' = 'cargo 200', ryzk term för död tjänstgörande soldat)
