If I was a leader in the Ukrainian army, I'd be worried about the safety of my own men being around those morons. My plan would probably be "airdrop them behind enemy lines with no support and no gear I'd prefer to keep". If they survive, great, they can join the regulars now.
I said it would be part of my 'plan' a few months back. (didn't realize I'd be harvesting the reddit crowd, but in retrospect it's utterly obvious)
I had been talking about taking all the trannies, 'quarantining' them in the same unit, then airdropping them into the hottest hot-zones as "shock-troops".
They've apparently got a non-zero amount of African migrants. Making them Putin's burden or "war crime" would save them so much trouble.
A great use for a bunch of untrained, undisciplined, out-of-shape, retarded, vapid morons who don't speak your language or understand your culture- probing enemy positions. Example- think there's enemy troops in a building up the block? Send your 5 man reddit squad up the street in a wide V formation, while your actual soldiers are observing from cover.
When the reddit squad walks into the enemy's sights, and they get fucking blown away, your soldiers can determine enemy strength/positions, possibly take some shots, form a plan to attack and deal with the threat.
Sun Tzu says "Use the normie force to engage. Use the exceptional force to achieve victory."
Or you could take a page from the Red Army. They'd use their penal battalions to clear minefields before the advance. At running speed.
NPR was reporting that out of the many people applying they were only taking limited amounts. You had to have some type of military or police background I believe.
Not smart to give people with little to no firearms knowledge fully auto weapons, or any weapon really.
Maybe they are taking general volunteers too, but who knows what assignments they get.
