"Russia's Use of Amphetamines in Battle: A Disturbing Trend"

Russia is allegedly sending "disposable" soldiers, including conscripts, prisoners, and mobilized draftees, to fight in Ukraine while under the influence of amphetamines or other narcotic substances. This tactic aims to ensure that these ill-trained soldiers continue to fight regardless of the odds. The use of drugs to lower inhibitions and increase aggression is not uncommon in military history. The practice may be a necessary measure for Russia to maintain troop morale and combat effectiveness, particularly when soldiers lack a clear purpose or leadership.
