A video of Russian recruits has shocked the internet: Commander Z showed how bad things are

November 23, 2025

A new video has surfaced in the Russian army, showing the catastrophic state of its personnel. Social media is abuzz with talk of a sharp decline in the quality of Russian troops.

A video has surfaced online of a Russian officer lining up five new recruits. The footage shows the men barely standing: hunched over,  intoxicated,  barely able to stand. One of them drops his helmet right at his feet and struggles to pick it up.

The officer filming the scene asks them how they even joined the army and signed the contract. One admits he was deceived. Another says he signed the contract while drunk. A third has no idea how he ended up at the front. The commander doesn’t hide his contempt and bluntly declares that these men will be sent off to fight tomorrow. He says they can’t move normally, let alone participate in combat.

A sharp decline in the quality of the Russian army. The video sparked a furious reaction on social media. Users noted that, as the war draws to a close in its fourth year, the quality of the Russian army is rapidly deteriorating.  The Russian command, which has been pursuing brutal assaults in recent years, is facing problems in manning its army. Its best forces have long been eliminated, leaving only weak reserves.

    He means they will be used as cannon fodder and won’t survive 5 minutes.
