Quote: "Teenagers aged 14 to 17 will receive fire, tactical, and engineering training, learn the basics of tactical medicine, as well as the organisation of communication and piloting of UAVs. Pupils will meet with veterans of the Great Patriotic War and "special military operation" (the war in Ukraine – ed.), famous sportsmen, and they will also study "the history of Russia based on the examples of feats of Soviet and Russian soldiers and officers, military and civilian volunteers."

Details: It is reported that the first summer shift will be held under the motto "Time of Heroes". It will last for 21 days. The organiser is the "Voin" military and sports training centre, created on the initiative of Sergey Kirienko, the deputy head of the presidential administration.

Military-patriotic camps will open in Buryatia, Kalmykia, Tatarstan, Chechnya, Khabarovsk Territory, Belgorod, Kemerovo, Pskov, Sverdlovsk, Tyumen Oblasts and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District.

Cool, so they'll train a generation on small scale military tactics and weapons while they drain their military-industrial complex of the talent needed to equip and organize large scale forces.

Can't think of a better way to create the opportunity and forces required for a revolution in a decade or so. Or if not that than just a mess of warlords and militias that just destroy everything. Either way great plan.

So, Russia is going full North Korea now?

Pupils will meet with veterans of the Great Patriotic War and "special military operation" (the war in Ukraine – ed.), famous sportsmen, and they will also study "the history of Russia based on the examples of feats of Soviet and Russian soldiers and officers, military and civilian volunteers."

Yep, it seems to be the case.

Teenagers aged 14 to 17
