The problem there is that it that happened then Putin might get the public support needed to declare war, or at least move Russia to a war footing.
You have to be mad to think Putin isn't throwing everything he has at this.

His latest call up is Dads army ffs its went from 65 to 70 year olds now heading for the front lines,

he also need the equipment to arm any one else, he cant do it. No hes at his limit unless he sends the females next

Hunderds of thousand of young men who would have been conscripted have fled the country the number was put at 700k.
 
Belarus says it's trying very hard to stop Wagner matching to Warsaw


It's a ridiculous sentiment, Wagner are mercenaries first and foremost, they aren't going to march anywhere without being paid, so who is going to pay them to march on Poland?

Even their stay in Belarus is very suspicious, as someone needs to pay them to stay there and train Belarusian troops as well.

Indeed. It's a total sham. My opinion is that it is just an attempt at cause to -legally- start a larger mobilisation process for Russia, that will then be diverted to Ukraine.

Fit for military service in Russia is in the 20-30 millions for both genders, obviously can't send all of those as some will be needed for services, manufacturing, etc. though on a full war footing they'd start mobilising women into those roles to free up men for the frontlines.

There is a substantial number of the most fit age range who have left the country but Putin has been emptying out many of the poorer regions first - you'll be seeing older people more because he'd rather sent a 70 year old from the Russian far east than a 20 year old from richer western regions - ironically some of the border regions with Ukraine have been almost untouched by conscription/mobilisation - in the footage of Wagner's uprising the towns are full of young adults while on the other hand some of the poor villages are bemoaning there are hardly any men left.

Russia is slowly ramping up equipment production for example a redesigned, with quality issues, AK-12 is increasingly appearing with Russian troops with production expected to ramp to mass production levels in the second half of this year.
