that would constitute between 200,000 and 300,000 men .
factor in the support staff , medico's transport , stores , vehicle and weapons repair .....maybe 130,000 front line troops or there abouts .....of course rotateds through so not all at once
but these men will need paying - equipping - feeding - and supporting with artillery and tanks etc (or not ) the katter the most expensive of all -- I estimate pay alone comes out at about 12 billion dollars per year minimum then there are the other expenses
so I welcome this - should break russias economy that muych quicker
