Honestly I doubt Russia has that much. There are 150 million people, roughly 50% of them are men, and half of them are both of conscription age and willing to fight? Besides if they would want to fight they would be on the frontlines already, you always can volunteer to go.
And how, may I ask, did the WVS research get their age-specific willingness to fight from Russia? Asked Putin…?
There may be *total* ~35 M people of draft age You are lucky if 1/4 of them is *willing* to fight, all other issues aside.
I am not willing to “Fight for my country.”
I am however willing to fight to defend our way of life. It really matters on how one asks the question.
