Preparing for WW3: Russia to expand military by 150%; 1 million to 1.5 million strong!

Russia suddenly announced the plan to expand the military size from the current 1 million by 50% to 1.5 million strong. Most if not all of these troops will be contract soldiers (professionals/regulars) and unlikely to include the mobilized troops.

Significant plans includes

• having exclusive military inter-branch strategic territorial formations in Moscow and Leningrad districts
• entirely new army corp in Republic of Karelia
• expansion of 7 motorised infantry brigades to division size
• as well as expansion of training facilities to accommodate the expansion, among others.

The expansion will be completed at a super short time frame of within 3 years, or between 2023-2026. And the budget for the expansion seemed to be not an issue at all.

If DPA’s opinion, Russia is preparing for war.
