CRIME AND THE RUSSIAN ARMY
x.com/jalle51/status/2076284…Jarl Finland (@jalle51)”There is a cancer in the Russian army that Moscow does not know how to cure.” Estonian security expert Erkki Koort reveals how deeply rooted organized crime is dictating Russia’s frontline reality.Decades of military corruption and smuggling, amplified by the mass recruitment of convicts, have created a parallel mafia command structure within units. Criminal networks now control logistics through torture, extortion, and drug trafficking. Paradoxically, while this institutional decay hollows out Russian military capability, it actively drives the notorious “meat wave” assaults by utilizing mafia enforcement to terrorize soldiers into suicidal advances. Koort warns that post-war, these heavily armed criminal networks will project outward, posing a severe hybrid security threat to neighboring European borders. #RussianArmy #OrganizedCrime #MilitaryAnalysis #FrontlineUpdate #InfantryTactics— https://x.com/jalle51/status/2076284288836698322
