The head of the State Duma Committee on Defense allowed an increase in the draft age in 2023

In 2023, the draft age for Russian citizens may be increased from 18 to 21. This was stated by the head of the Defense Committee of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Andrey Kartapolov.

Since such large-scale changes require a corresponding adjustment of the Russian legislation on military service, all the necessary procedures will first have to go through. At present, the lower house of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation is awaiting official proposals from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

As for the timing, I think that within the next year everything can be implemented very well.

- declared TASS Deputy Andrei Kartapolov.

The head of the State Duma Committee on Defense also noted that the parliament supports the idea of ​​Russian Defense Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu to increase the military age. Recall that yesterday, at the collegium of the Ministry of Defense, Shoigu proposed raising the draft age from 18 to 21 years, and the age limit for military service from 27 to 30 years. But the head of the military department also noted that this could happen in stages, but he did not specify exactly when.

The need to raise the draft age is associated with the consequences of general socio-cultural transformations in modern society. Now young people "grow up" later than their peers of the past decades. An increase in the age of conscription for military service will make it possible to conscript physically and psychologically mature young men into the army.

[Klaus8691]

And nothing is said about the conscription of children and grandchildren of deputies and other freeloaders?!

[dmi.pris1]

How do you call them?" They are monuments!" (C)

[Klaus8691]

So it turns out that we have a worker-peasant army, but we defend what and whom, so these same monuments.

[Million]

Nonsense is utter nonsense. Have they forgotten how to think there at all?

[YOUR]

There is something different here, I think. Now the SVO, there are not enough recruits. If you shift the draft age, then you can immediately call on additionally those who are over 27 years old.
Shoigu proposed to increase the RF Armed Forces to 1.5 million people. Where and how to get people?

[dmi.pris1]

The conscript will go to military service. And our conscripts cannot be used in the combat zone. The question is why? that they are now serving a year, about nothing.

[Vladimir80]

I can't use it right now, maybe next year...

[YOUR]

It will not always be SVO. And then whoever interferes served a year, and a year later they declared him a trained fighter and forward.

[Pharmacist]

Conscripts can be used. But there is one "but". Since the SVO was not calculated either in terms of time or in terms of military and human resources, they made a mistake: they offered to fight with a limited contingent and for money. By Russian standards for a lot of money. Now we had to mobilize and equate recruits to contract soldiers. If you send conscripts, it will turn out that they also have to pay from 190 thousand and more. And if you don’t, then you get a motley - this one is paid, this one must go to death for free, etc. Or announce that now there is a war, we are all fighting for an idea? The authorities have driven themselves into an idiotic situation.

Especially after the deputy’s statement with approval already in 2023, most likely the emphasis is on the period from 27 to 30 years old., Most of the people are already established, with some material baggage behind them, so it’s not easy for them to run away from the draft.

[sadam2]

The only and main reason is the lack of an officer of whom at the moment, it is understood that a 21-year-old can make an independent decision in a situation ... that is, they plan to send conscripts to the front

[Million]

Do you think that they plan to fight at the top for a few more years?
In Afghanistan, by the way, even 19-year-olds understood well in difficult situations.

[Murmur 55]

I wonder who is to blame that now 18-year-old children who can get a driver's license, go to clubs, get married, get hunting tickets, for some reason cannot fight? And now all the points I have indicated will also be transferred to 21 or what?

[Pharmacist]

No, friend, here in another dog is buried. From the age of 18 (already an adult) to the age of 21, there is a head start, for which the "party-goers" and various children of the beau monde will slowly dump them in their foreign homes and elite Western colleges, from where you can no longer call them. And you don't have to "mow". And, as the person above wrote, our army will again be a worker-peasant army.

[Sgt.]

The child is in school, and the father is in the army. Clever!

[Murmur 55]

Sgt. , it’s very possible that our soldiers from the barracks on full board are scribbling to girls on the Internet and sending photos (on the sly from the commanders, although everyone knows everything) and men 30+ from home-made dugouts send paper letters home.

[Optimus Prime]

Now again, not a year to peel potatoes and stand on the nightstand, but two years.

[restless]

What do they smoke there, half the country lives with bought military men, conduct an investigation and mansions with those who gave them out will be left without owners, everything is sold and everything is bought with us, we live under the bourgeoisie, nothing personal, only business, every man for himself, man is a wolf, shit on the bottom, deceive and lure out money, now deceiving your neighbor is an everyday reality, from doctors to auto repair, it will end only when business is considered a meager occupation, but for now we will be robbed at the legislative level ...

[bober1982]

This is a sound decision, well, which of the current 18-year-old fighters, general socio-cultural transformations are competently mentioned, that is, if translated, they can suffocate from the smell of footcloths.

[dmi.pris1]

Footcloths, like kirzaches, are not available now, let's say. But as operators on all sorts of devices, they can give odds to any of the older generation.

[bober1982]

It is not entirely clear why this news caused such an unhealthy hype.
The current conscription system is a burp of a "past" life, and in the current conditions it needs to be changed, the sooner the better.

[Vladimir80]

The current conscription system is a burp of the "past" life, and in the current conditions it needs to be changed, the sooner the better

only confirms the impenetrable stupidity and harmfulness of those who are engaged in this (reforms) ...
1. recognize the lack of UAVs in the required quantity and poor-quality communications among the troops - and as a solution to this problem, an increase in the number of military personnel, where is the logic??
2. The required amount of uniforms was not found for 300.000 mobilized - and as a solution to this problem, an increase in the number of military personnel, where is the logic??
3. Okraintsy how are they defeating us? precision weapons, satellite communications, satellite reconnaissance - how will an increase in the number of military personnel solve this problem, where is the logic??

Okraintsy than us win?

They fill up with their corpses (100000 +), stupidly drive their people to slaughter.

Quote: Vladimir80

Okraintsy than us win?

Cut off from the Sea of ​​Azov, received a land corridor with the Crimea, Melitopol, Berdyansk, Mariupol - with us.
What do they have - they live on handouts (sooner or later they will end), country 404, infidels.

[Vladimir80]

They fill up with their corpses (100000 +), stupidly drive their people to slaughter.

you yourself believe in it??!! how naive a Russian person is, about "the second army of the world with 70% of modern weapons" we realized that we were deceived, but about "100.000 losses of the Okrainians" we believe, like "they can't deceive us in everything on TV"

[bober1982]

Quote: Vladimir80

but about "100.000 losses of Okrainians" we believe, like

Ask Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen, she won't let you lie.

[tkoh]

Quote: bober1982

Crimea, Melitopol, Berdyansk, Mariupol - we have.

And why Kherson was not added to the list. This is, by the way, the capital of the new Russian region

[Murmur 55]

bober1982 , unfortunately this is so, only now, - "It was smooth on paper, but they forgot about the ravines, and walk along them." How will this work in practice.

[billybones]

Conscription frenzy in the USSR, when since 1984 (since 1985 en masse) they began to call on full-time students, was one of the factors that contributed to the fall of the authority of the then state and, as a result -
destruction of the USSR.
It is clear now that the agents of the secret services of the West, dragged to the highest positions in the Soviet nomenklatura, were behind this at that time. And just traitors who led the country.

[TsShVS]

Another nail in the coffin of the current government.
By the age of 30, many "conscripts" are already married and have children.
It turns out that the father is in the army, the mother is at work. And who will deal with / sit with the children if the retirement age has become almost posthumous?

[Nastia makarova]

for 2021, 73% only start a family after 30 years

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

And where were they before that, in your opinion, those who are 30 years old?

[Sergej1972]

Whoever has time to have two children will not be called. So there is a choice.

[Vladimir80]

The need to raise the draft age is associated with the consequences of general socio-cultural transformations in modern society.

reminiscent of the rearrangement of furniture from a well-known anecdote ...

[Sergio63]

First of all - a service life of 3 years! MANDATORY!!! This is for those who consider themselves citizens of Russia! Now we just need to figure out and attract (mobilize) all these u, .. hiding from service and giving bribes from evasion ... Here's at least 300 thousand more .. and to the front line !!!

[Alexander Antonov_2]

And why not for 20 years, as under the tsar-father?

[faiver]

like under the king-father?

- and immediately for 25 years of service

[User_neydobniu]

And why not for 20 years, as under the tsar-father?

And this is the next stage)

[nepunamemuk]

under the tsar - father, military service was indefinite
but mother - Catherine reduced to 25 (

[faiver]

I consider the shift of the draft age to be erroneous, you need to return to the 2-year service life, where the first year is training, and during the second year of service you can be sent to the SVO, if it drags on ....
Plus, to revise the training programs for conscripts and strict control so that soldiers would not be driven to harvest potatoes and construction work on the left, as in the USSR
