So, what is "Russian elite troops" these days. Non-conscripted?
- Local Yu-Gi-Oh! champions they snatched from the mall.
- I thought the Wagner PMC was supposed to be the tide turner of the war. I guess you know what they say about the best laid planes of mice and men.
They still have elite troops? I would say at this point "russian elite troops" are mythical creatures akin to unicorns: they don't exist.
- Likely they meant "elitt", which in Hungarian means "drunk away (wealth, money, etc)", so they're sending in their most alcoholic troops.
- Also seems weird to wait until this point to deploy them right?
  
  They were deployed, but in the East. This opens a window of opportunity to liberate some territories in the now weakened East.
- Russian elite troops is akin to being the smartest kid in special ed.
