The Russian mobilised from prisons are trucked to special units made up of criminals who are sent straight to the front line to die in human wave attacks.
These are small unarmored units with light weapons only. They are sent in waves consisting of many small groups of around six across a long area of frontline. They die in huge numbers and if they turn around and retreat they are killed by other Russians themselves, in what is known as ‘blocking units’.
The entire point of their deaths is to spread Ukrainian soldiers and widely as possible and to constantly test the Ukrianian fortification for weakness.
If they find any, bigger infantry units are sent with support from a light armored vehicle with heavier weapons.
This tactic also applies to other people Russia considers disposable. Ethnic minorities such as Buryats, or poor people from rural villages.
Seems like it could be a solid, if terrible motivator.
Look at the amount of ground you’re expected to take, then look at the meagre rations being provided. A cannibal in your midst may change your calculations on how far you’re willing to stretch those rations. It would certainly light a fire under my ass.
Why would you release a guy that killed and ate Russians in an attempt to help Russians?
In my mind he just starts killing and eating people on frame one and to me this is quite funny.

That is utterly horrifying
It’s like biological warfare, the wind change, this dude walks right back into Russia to grab a snack
The wind changes and the 3 officers assigned to him gun him down without thinking about it, from 10 yards off.
They arent putting convicts in with ordinary soldiers, they hand them a handgun and tell them to walk towards the enemy or get a bullet in the back.
