Currently, conscripts are not sent to participate in a special military operation.. Only contract soldiers and volunteers participate in hostilities. However, no one can deprive an adult citizen of Russia of the right to defend his homeland..
Furthermore, it is natural, that young people, who are currently serving in the military, often they themselves want to go to participate in a special operation – test your personality, get combat experience, earn good money by Russian standards.
Any serviceman of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (Russian Armed Forces), conscript, can take part in a special military operation. However, for this he will have to sign a contract. This was stated to TASS by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov..
To participate in SVO, the conscript must make this decision voluntarily. To participate in a special operation, a conscripted serviceman must switch to contract service, i.e. contract. Then the conscript will be able to go to participate in a special operation without any problems..
Under current law, to conclude a contract, you must serve in the army for at least three months. But there are exceptions: conscripts, having higher professional education, can conclude a contract immediately after being called up for military service.
note, that conscription for military service in Russia covers persons aged from 18 to 27 years. Many young Russians are drafted into the army after graduating from higher educational institutions, that is, at the age 22-23 years. Thereby, a conscript may even be older than a contract soldier, served after school and signed a contract in 19 years.
The upper age limit for concluding a contract for military service after the start of a special military operation has been removed. This opened the possibility of signing a contract for many representatives of older age groups., having experience of participating in hostilities in "hot spots".
