        I used to lose my airborne brigade all the time, but now every time I leave the house I always check that I have everything; “keys, phone, wallet, airborne brigade. OK, check”

    “Elite Russian brigade”

    Is that what they call them when they still have all of their limbs?

    So are the “elite” brigades just the ones that aren’t comprised entirely of prisoners at this point?

    I’d be curious to know what the Kremlin’s actual spend is relative to what they promise to give for recruit contracts, considering that so many die on the front lines, their remains never get collected, and are listed as MIA to avoid having to pay.

    For those interested, before the Very Special Military Operation, the 83rd Airborne Brigade had about 40,000 men.
