Putin beordrar styrkor att gå in i Ukraina - INVASION NU (2022-02-24)

READ THIS CAREFULLY — YOU WON'T HEAR THIS FROM ANY OTHER RECRUITER!

You've definitely seen flashy videos from media-famous brigades showing what combat looks like: daily assaults, firefights, nonstop action. Here's the truth: behind a few minutes of video are weeks of hard, uninteresting, and boring infantry work in the AFU.

Every year since 2022, the war in Ukraine has been changing. The mission methods that worked in 2024 do not work in 2026. Today's war is a war of technology — often boring, yet extremely dangerous for infantry.

● Small-arms firefights are rare.
● There is no air support.
● Tank battles don't happen.
● Armored vehicles can't get closer than 10 km to the zero line.
● Snipers are useless on 99% of the front.
● Positions and clearing missions are entered by small teams of 2–3 people.
● Food and ammo are delivered to positions by drones.
● The enemy has a huge number of drones and highly experienced pilots trained over four years of war.

Rotations are difficult and slow due to enemy drone activity and sometimes take 5–6 days. They require favorable weather (rain, fog, strong wind), which may take weeks to arrive. Because of this, people who planned to stay on positions for 10–15 days sometimes end up there for 25–30 days.

Creating a comfortable rotation schedule in 2026 is impossible. Be prepared to stay on position longer than promised, because it is always better to keep someone there an extra week than to evacuate their body later. This is one of the reasons our unit has the lowest casualty rate among foreign volunteers compared to other units.

There are no easy sectors. It doesn't matter whether it's the Donetsk direction or the Sumy direction — you will face the same problems everywhere.

In the current war, 90% of an infantryman's time is boring movement, boring tasks, sitting in shelters, and waiting for the enemy.

The war in Ukraine is the most terrifying war in human history. Your experience in Afghanistan or Iraq may be useful, but it is nowhere close to what you will face here.

Remember: we will always provide you with good equipment, the best weapons, training, and everything necessary to carry out missions — but we cannot give you balls.

It's simple: you're either ready to face these realities, or you're not.
