Russia can send enough 50-65 old into the meat grinder that is it without good boots or winter cloths because someone in the army sold that those old will not survive long in a winter trench. Ukraine does not fight the Russian conscript army, it fights against a Russian contract based army much smaller much harder to replenish. Russian army size ranks second, but that army does not fight, only a very small amount of the poor are fighting in Ukraine. That second ranked army must defend the whole of Russia with a land border of 22,457 kilometres. Not only the Europe-Russia border but also the Asia-Russia border. You can not compare the total in any calculation, you can not throw all on one front and leave China on your back door capable to walk in and be sure they will take back what they see what is theirs in Russia. Demographic does not allow Russia to provide the front and production the needed personnel.
