Would it not be better to send these better trained servicemen into battle? If Russia only deployed 80k as stated here, that leaves 100ks of regular forces to rotate with, whom are much better equipped to fight in a real war due to do their years of training etc. Is it not risky sending in barely trained units or what am I missing here folks?

This is the basis for a general mobilization in case the need arises. Plus it will have a powerful effect in the patriotic education of the society.

If they made some jet fighters able to launch this HARMs then they are basically sending them on a suicide mission just for a chance to hit something for Twitter giggles?

I assume after calling HARM "mediocre" our Seig will come and run his mouth again.

To get a range you mention, it needs to be released from about 15 000 m.
Good luck climbing there having S-400 head-on:lol:

Apparently an airbase in the Crimea.

Margarita Simonyan reported a sabotage.
Crimea is among the heaviest defended areas in Russia. I would put a possibility of multiple penetration close to zero.

Edit : stored ammo detonation at Saki airbase near Novofedorovka. No casualties, no destruction of equipment. Su-24M and Su-30 are stationing there.
