So typical how they obscure things. We aren't even allowed know how many people were actually gathered by the mobilization in September. Not even ballpark number. And I don't mean the Russians don't tell it, but the Western officials and media don't talk about it. They say 300K was the target, then never say if they reached any (and it's 100% they have their ways to get the number), but direct the light on the fleeing tens of thousands.
We don't know how long those reservists can be in service. The contracted soldiers have 6 month, but are those like that? It seems this new batch is contract ones.

> not sure how much good they will do when they arrive anyway
Yeah.
At least more Raptors and whatnot has to be produced for NATO countries have to buff their air forces.

Meanwhile I read in Hungarian news, that while Prigozhin told they took the rest of Bakhmut, Ukrainian sources assured us they took back Bakhmut since then. How they worded, it implied Ukrainians now holding the whole settlement. I would think they write like this to sway the readers, but from the whole texts (these aren't even articles) I can tell they are so dilettantes (women writing these stuff as well). These snippets really reassure me I do it right I don't read their stuff as a general rule.
