No worries, it's confusing... Basically, all men in Russia are required to do a year of military service at some point between the age of 18 - 27 but they just passed legislation changing it to 18 - 30. Here's a quote from a Reuters article that explains it better.

" Russia's lower house of parliament voted on Tuesday to raise the maximum age at which men can be conscripted to 30 years from 27, increasing the number of young men liable for a year of compulsory military service at any one time.

Last year, Russia announced a plan to boost its professional and conscripted combat personnel by more than 30% to 1.5 million, an ambitious task made harder by its heavy but undisclosed casualties in Ukraine.

The new legislation, which comes into effect on Jan. 1, means men will be required to carry out a year of military service, or equivalent training during higher education, between the ages of 18 and 30, rather than 18 and 27 as now.

The law also bans men from leaving Russia from the day they are summoned to a conscription office. In April, legislation was passed allowing conscription summonses to be served online instead of in person.

Compulsory military service has long been a sensitive issue in Russia, where many men go to great lengths to avoid being handed conscription papers during the twice-yearly call-up periods.

Conscripts cannot legally be deployed to fight outside Russia and were in theory exempted from a limited mobilisation last autumn that gathered at least 300,000 men with previous military training to fight in Ukraine - although some conscripts were sent to the front in error.

Ah ok thank you I was thinking of it the wrong way, I thought that was the cut off age and was so confused because that's super young and I was wondering why if I remember correctly our cut off age is like 38 or 36 to be able to enlist any older and you can't... I was in shock thinking that Russia was being that picky with their soldiers to where they couldn't be any older than 27 or 30.. I am super fascinated with countries that require that and I've heard that it can be a great thing to give that 2 years of structure to the vast majority... they're probably feel so strange if they all of a sudden did that here to those who haven't served or even considered it.

There was an explosion and fire in Bryansk, Russia last night. Reports that a sawmill is on fire. Sounds like a firework factory or ammo depot to me. 1 photo, 1 video


#russianfires #russianterritory


Second video:
"As of the evening of August 1, more than 16 cases of attempts to set fire to military bases have already been recorded in Russia. The perpetrators of these attempts are not ideological anti-war activists, but ordinary Russians who have taken out loans, and when pressured, they carry out orders for petty hooliganism."

EDIT: found better info:
"Unknown persons set fire to a military enlistment office in Ulan-Ude, Russia.

According to the Russian media, the arson occurred around 8 pm. Judging by the video, two people were involved in the arson of the military commissariat on Kalandarishvili Street: a man and a woman. The Molotov cocktails that were thrown at the entrance to the military enlistment office were in the woman's bag. The man threw one of the bottles at the door and the other at the glass of the first floor.

The area of the fire was about 1 square meter."

Hmm... wonder why?

"A Russian tourist arrived to Georgia today on a Russian cruise ship and quickly started telling the Georgians that Russia and Georgia are good friend and that the Georgians are lying when they say that 20% of Georgia’s territory is occupied by Russia"

It checks out with the weight of the real lancet, I first believed that hobby RC model ones were used for the decoys, however, these would be powerful enough to run the actual lancet (both variants).

These are not exclusively bought through commercial channels; you can contact the factory with some cash and have them produce the actual product for you, bypassing the original designer (and sanctions)

I'm not really looking for this information... just sharing what I found.

Here's a question for you... why are you replying to a message I just posted in a thread you are banned from? How did you know I posted about this when you can't see the thread it's posted in?

Not only that but why are you replying to it in here when it's OBVIOUSLY the wrong thread (again).

Either someone is showing you stuff from threads your banned in and you're purposely disregarding/ignoring any requests to STOP POSTING STUFF IN THE WRONG THREAD or you might have a alt account?

Woops.

No reasonable explanation as to say otherwise as how does he know.
