#1 That's what I read,

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said partial mobilization will affect 1% of 25 million who have combat experience.

He also said,

Those who are serving under conscription - it [mobilization] doesn't apply to them either, he said: "They are not subject to any mobilisation and direction for the 'special military operation... Our conscripts also continue to serve, as they did, on the territory of the Russian Federation."

#2 The catch-22, the breakaways (LPR + DPR + Kherson + the other one I cant spell) they vote to join the Russia Federation sometime soon and that will make them Russian Territory which legally opens the door to move conscripts to the fronts.

#3 ^ No problem. The same people who say anyone who questioned the last US election belongs in jail will question the votes in Ukraine.

And see neither hypocrisy, irony nor inconsistency when they do it.

#4 Quick Question: Where are the tanks coming from, aren't they already drawing down on T62's and some other reserve stored armored vehicles?

And what about artillery, whis that coming from as well as the various support/technical vehicles and equipment that are needed to properly equip and support 300K new-ish soldiers coming from? The same goes for officers and unit cadres.

If they just throw them into the fight, especially if they do it piecemeal as they trickle in, they will be decimated fairly quickly.

If US/NATO was smart about it, they would be laying in guerilla and partisan warfare sets, and pushing them into Kherson, and the areas around Melitopol. Almost in a WW2 fashion.

My understanding is that's already happening.
