Russian cannon fodder job posting and fake reviews

[AsiaCel]

So Russia has been advertising a cannon fodder job under "drone operator" on their job seeker website called HeadHunters, I will post some information about it translated by Gemini and the (fake) reviews.

For context, BARS is their home militia, but if you signed a contract (Russia uses all means to tricks to lurk people in, even straight up illegal ones), you will be entering a trap in which you cannot leave, and they will have power to transfer you to become a regular infantry ('meat assault') doing banzai charges, but even drone operators are just as vulnerable because they are high value targets. They are also likely to send you to Ukraine.

I posted it here because it is interesting to see how sanitized and HR the language is, yet much of the description is technically correct. Interestingly, I also found a job posting for "Radar operator", but knowing Russia, they will send those highly trained experts into being infantry, as they did with the naval carrier crews.

They are also likely to send you to Ukraine.

They will send anyone who signs these papers to the front in a cannon fodder role.
They rely on naive broke fools promising them safer drone operator role instead of cannon fodder stormtrooper role, they even promise them that the contract will end in a year, in fact, all contracts are indefinite.

That is actually true, unfortunately.

A relative of mine from Russia confirmed this.

I'd rather live under a bridge than do this.

The rate of recruitment for the contract has noticeably dropped, and losses have increased significantly. To keep up with the current pace, they will have to come to forced mobilization in a few month, these methods are already beginning to be tested in provincial regions, in particular in the Penza region.

Ive said before that the Ukraine vs Russia war is not real. The only purpose of this war is to kill ethnic white people. Over 20,000 white people are dying per month in this war, while Putin and Zelensky are talking every night laughing.
