Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Putin? 'Dad's Army' of Russians dragged into spluttering Ukraine invasion includes overweight middle-aged men and women learning how to handle machine guns in bizarre scenes at training camp
  • Bizarre new pictures have emerged of unassuming, middle-aged Russian civilians handling assault rifles

  • Adults not on the frontlines were called to training sessions in Russia's Rostov region to prepare for combat

  • Participants paired khaki helmets and padded vests with rigid blue jeans and freshly manicured nails

  • They said they would be prepared to defend their country and families if it became necessary to do so

  • Military training is also underway for the conscripts called to the frontline under Putin's 'partial mobilisation'
