    That’s not an unbelievable number at all. Russia has a massive population and if you look at the numbers these are peace time numbers for most countries. For example, Finland’s army turns from 25-30k during peace to 900k during the war through our large reserves.

      In a war situation Finland will mobilize ~300k, not all reserves will to be thrown to the frontline immediately.
