To get some well paid jobs You have to serve. There are some nice gov jobs in Russia too, You can transition to them straight after the service. But you are right, there is not much adventureSwede55 wrote:Even Russians don't want to join the Russian army, so why would a foreigner?

It gets boring soon. Military service is not entertainment, it's not safari. It's duty.

2nd best? To whom? Some Russian Army accomplishments:
1.) Destruction of the Ottoman Empire (revenge for the destruction of the Byzantine Empire).
2.) Destruction of Napoleanic France.
3.) Destruction of Nazi Germany.
4.) Fought off the British, French, and Ottoman Empires simultaneously during the Crimean War
...The U.S. Navy is the best Navy in the world, the U.S. Army other hand has had better funding than the Russian equivalent but not the prestige of accomplishments the Russian Army has, and the Russian Army has better air defense assets to nullify airpower.

On 25 January, Russian military received their first salaries under the new payment system. The changes cover about 350,000 professional officers and NCOs, as well as privates on contract service. All ranks have received substantial increases, of the order of two and a half times their current salaries. In the cases of personnel serving in harsh climates or in areas of conflict, as well as those serving in positions requiring specialist knowledge, the increase in wages was even higher – up to three times the current salary. A contract soldier currently receives approximately US$1000 a month, a junior officer (company commander) US$2000, and his counterpart serving on a nuclear submarine gets US$3000, the same as a senior officer (rank of colonel) commanding a missile regiment. The lowest salaries for senior officers commanding battalions will run to around US$2500 after the changes.
Even Russians don't want to join the Russian army, so why would a foreigner? If you want an adventure, go work in the Bakken oilfield or go fishing in Alaska, at least they will pay you.

I believe that has been answered before, go look through other threads and farther back in this one.Karkota wrote:All joking aside though, I'm assuming the foreigners joining is only for the Russian army? MVD, Navy, Air Force would all be excluded?

To be honest, none of us know for sure right now, it's all conjecture until we actually hear of some foreigners joining the Russian army, and I mean foreign foreigners, not Armenians, Tajiks, etc...
