I believe it's coming. It just doesn't make sense for a 30 million dirt poor Ukraine to be able to mobilize 500k troops while the 140 million Russian with gas, oil, crops and whole lot of other resources and intact military industrial complex to only be able to mobilize 300k. Even with the whole of NATO contributing economically to Ukraine, that still does NOT make sense number wise.

It's all the bureaucratic problems in Russia that make these limitations more than being able or not..
It takes time to equip those troops properly and restructure the main formations to properly absorb them. Doing this in a rushed fashion will only lead to unnecessary military losses. As is the extra troops were enough to stabilize the front lines.
No offense but 5000 a pop is a ripoff price.
I think he means 5000 Australian Dollars which if my head math is correct comes out to......... $500 US dollars.
LoL that comes out to USD 3,375.00.
Saw a great video of this vehicle pairing in action:
The Russian army began to use FPV kamikaze drones "Boomerang". The advantages of an FPV drone over conventional drones are the low cost of equipment, high flight speed, it is difficult to intercept the drone with an anti-drone gun, since it has no connection with satellites. It is convenient for the operator to control the drone through VR glasses, with the help of these glasses he becomes one with the drone and sees the flight direction well. The drone is armed with a container with striking elements and equipped with a fuse. Cons FPV drone, short range and flight time.
152-mm self-propelled howitzer 2S3 "Acacia" of the Ukrainian army, came under attack from the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet". After the drone hit, the ammunition of the self-propelled unit detonated. Judging by the video, part of the crew escaped because they noticed the approach of the Lancet drone in time.
Footage of an unsuccessful launch of missiles from the Grad MLRS was published by Ukrainian servicemen. The reasons for the unsuccessful launch are not reported, versions are expressed from problems with missiles to the defeat of the installation by Russian troops. In total, the Ukrainian army is now armed with about 185 BM-21 Grad MLRS.
Footage of powerful strikes by Russian heavy flamethrower systems TOS-1A Solntsepek in Ukraine has been published. Before the start of the infantry offensive, on the positions of the Ukrainian army in the city, the combat vehicle TOS-1A "Solntsepek" begins to work. After being hit by a thermobaric munition, at the epicenter of the explosion, the temperature rises to three thousand degrees. Now the Russian heavy flamethrower system TOS-1A has begun to be modernized

I wonder what the number looks like for the refugees that went to russia. probably even less considering that their homes like were destroyed, unless russia rebuilds them like they are doing in mariupol.
This crazy footage came out today:
Geolocated to near Berhivka, 48°38'29.5"N 37°57'01.1"E.
Of note is that this area is now firmly under Wagner control, and the BMP-1 were heading east. Based on this the footage must be a few days old and is showing us an attempted Ukrainian counterattack north-west of Bakhmut trying to prevent Wagner advance.
Wagner probably had fire support in terms of 2B9 Vasilek and automatic grenade launcher. Result five BMP-1 destroyed, 20+ KIA. Entire mechanized infantry platoon wiped out.
