Putin's troops moaned that they have been issued with plastic paintball masks, children's gloves and rubber boots to fight in Ukraine.
Footage taken in Stavropol region in southern Russia reveals a man complaining about the pitiful resources he has for fighting, showing his paintball mask.
The man said: 'Thank you for these warm gifts for mobilised fighters.
The clips are more examples of the chaos that has ensued amid the scramble to mobilise Russian men after Putin's conscription order on September 21.
Scores of men have headed to the frontline in the last few weeks hugely under-equipped and under-prepared.
It has led to some of the men already losing their lives and being returned to Russia to be buried by their families.
Angry men have said that often they were required to buy their own food and equipment and food.
They think we will be wandering around like Star Wars wearing this b*******t, with no aim and no goal.'
Still unimpressed, he reveals the hat and one litre thermos he has, which he also mocks.
Throwing the thermos down on the bed he says: 'Very useful thing, it will help us.'
He quips: 'The best thing that is, these are tactical gloves for a child. Because they don't fit my hand at all, and they didn't fit any fighter.'
The video continues with him showing the camera some rubber boots which he is frustrated with as they are rubber and says he will throw them away.
And he bemoans the fact that he has not got access to a 'warm' winter uniform and shows the raincoat he is wearing to fight.
Footage concludes with one of the soldiers wearing some of the equipment as the men laugh and joke: 'Elite star warrior' and say 'Ready?'

Rubber boots and bad gloves will become a huge issue in just a few weeks. Lots of black toes and fingers are in their future.
Kind of hard to believe that Russia does not have enough guns for its troops.
maybe they can do like the USSR did in WWII, line them up 10 deep, only the first guy has a gun
when he gets shot, second guy picks up the gun and moves forward
when he gets shot, third guy picks up the gun ... etc.
“Russian efficiency”!
You do realize FR has, thanks to tireless work of a few, come to resemble a fantasy war mongering club for the infirmed.
Stay strong. The next time, and it shouldn’t be long, the US does it’s best to provoke another war, I’m sure it will be against a smaller, defenseless country that can’t fight back.
That’s much more titillating.
Everything from the Daily Mail is laughable BS and of zero intelligence value. All true defense professionals laugh at and ridicule the garbage they publish.
Warmongers should stop supporting the warmongering Russian invaders. Russians only need to get out of Ukraine to stop the war, and any real pacifist would urge Russians to do so.
Yeah i know. To see the cheerleading for russian aggression here is sickening
Getting started early with the Daily Mail propaganda, are we?
Simple minded.
Like Nancy Pelosi, the Russophiles on Free Republic are in so deep that they will not allow the fact they are wrong
LOL
Sure. Taking context out of *everything* makes life less complicated and simple...for those who insist on being simple.
Once this is over, for morale purposes of those who live their lives in old black and white John Wayne movies, I propose re-attacking the tiny island of Grenada. A glorious victory that resulted in more medals being awarded than actual fighters involved.
Maybe you all can earn a few by way of meritorious, repetitive, lip-service and delusions.
They are only doing thus to try to save their asses. They are in big enough trouble as it is.
