The age of conscription will increase to 30 years, but at the same time it should start at the age of 18, but at 21, recalled the senator. "Thus, more adults, psychologically mature people will serve in the army," Bondarev said.
Earlier, Focus wrote that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu stated that Russia should increase the number of armed forces to 1. 5 million. According to him, almost 700 thousand people should be contract servicemen. The conscript age should be increased from 18 to 21, and the marginal age - from 27 to 30 years. By the way, more than 527 thousand people mobilized over the active period of mobilization in September and October, instead of 300 declared.
The autumn counter -offensive of the Armed Forces "shocked" Putin and became a reason to announce "partial mobilization" at the end of last year. This is stated in the construction of the Institute of War Study on February 26. Putin announced a partial mobilization some time after Ukraine's counter -offensive on September 21.
