OK, so this Indian wants to go to Australia. Perhaps to open a stall selling curry to fishalt or whatever. He does a test and his english sucks so he cant go. He needs to improve his english so he decides to go to Russia no less. He contacts some brokers somehow and he thinks he is going to be driving a taxi in Russia?? As if this plan is not stupid enough, he actually paid the brokers $1800. He lands there and he signs a contract in Russian. He is in Ukraine in no time and he was surely one of the lads that Kangal showed being droned because that is exactly what happened to him. Some other indian sent a voice message back to the family. How much he was been paid is anyone's guess but the article says the russians are paying $2000 a month, probably to the brokers.
It is arguably cheaper to deploy an indian than the cost of the bombed dropped on him.
So not only has Putin emptied his jails but every time an indian is blown up, it is another win for him.
Even with the lad lasting a month, the russians can put in 500000 for ONE BILLION dollars.
This analysis is heartless, but in a war, that is how things are. Napoleon lost almost 500000 invading Russia, and he was back in action a couple of years later.
So, the bottom line is, it is over but yet many have yet to die, pawns. Everyone knows this.
But they have 60 billion to spend on mercs for ukraine, they will join, because they are desperate, but they will not be quality led by a John Wayne as in the movie, they will be next to useless.
The only way this does not end quickly is for western troops
