They are unsightly, unsanitary and goes against military uniformity and thus lowers morale. Moostache hairs has gots to go, get rid of that hippe shit.
You're supposed to enforce that shit BEFORE sending them to the front though. Once you're in combat it's pretty low priority, especially if your side is not doing so well.
Also it's the middle of winter, a beard is probably quite nice.
Know what lowers morale even more? Your artillery support having no shells and your issued weapon previously having been present in the battle for Stalingrad

Valery is a CIA plant looking to strip great Russia's men of their power (mustaches).
WW1 fricked beards and muttonchops because of gasmasks.
Even AH had to chop his full handlebar moustache down into that shitty little toothbrush so the straight sides would meet the new army moustache regs.

No shit, you people are traitors and will be dealt with as such.
Encourages the soldiers to take care of themselves even in harsh conditions
It's a pain to strip down and rub down with a washcloth in 5°c but boy oh boy does it improve your morale
You start to feel like shit if you don't clean your self in the field and it's quite hard to actually "take the first step" i.e getting buck naked
Grooming ones beard also helps with morale, feels good and makes you feel more like a man and less like a wild animal
It's quite interesting the effects of basic hygiene can have a human beings psyche especially in adverse conditions, that said it's also suprings how hard it can be to actually go and take 10 minutes to tend to your self, man is a lazy and comfortable creature even when it's at a detriment to himself
dude has a point. do you really want to be twinkbait in the russian army? other non-rapey militaries, ok cool. but shaviung and getting naked with russians around you?
Clean shaved is not a requirement where i served, but groomed was a requirement
Meaning your NCO decided if it looked good enough, some guys just hade shitty beards and where forced to be clean shaved
>In filthy enviroment beards make you real vulnerable to lice,
Today we have chemicals that kills lice dead, anon, that is not problem. >Inb4 Zyklon B holocaust jokes
BTW clean shaven soldiers of WWI, and WWII had full pockets of cloth lice.
It's good to know puccioid high command has got its priorities in order. Hoping they'll force mobiks to do parades on the frontline too.
Even captcha says H0(y)th
For the same reason dudes in Azovsteel even in the siege were either keeping themselves clean shaven or keeping their facial hair neat. A master of himself is a master over nature in adverse conditions. I already feel like shit if I let my facial hair grow over the course of a week and feel like a new man once I've shaved.
It helps distinguish Russian Army troops from the Chechens and, more importantly, Wagner. Prigozhin has already shown that he’s willing to lie through his teeth about Wagner carrying out successful operations all on their own. If this regulation were to actually be enforced, all Gerasimov and his allies have to do when Prigozhin inevitably tries that again is publish footage and point out that the men shown aren’t grubby looking convicts but are actually (probably still quite grubby looking) clean shaven soldiers.
This is what I assumed the OP was about
The Ukies pick their angle of attack based on how much rubbish is lying around the enemy positions because that tells them where the least disciplined (and thus most likely to run) units are stationed, so enforcing standards of cleanliness in the field really would offer and immediate tactical advantage to the Russians
It's a mixed bag >travel in civilian cars
If they have enough vehicles to avoid this it's best avoided for PID reasons >use of mobile phones
This they really do need to crack down on, they still don't get that in current year phones are basically tracking devices. >non-regulation uniform
Would be good for PID if they had real uniforms but I seriously doubt they have enough. >non-standard haircuts >shaving standards
Kek, he's going to get commanders that try to enforce this shit fragged.
>If they have enough vehicles to avoid this it's best avoided for PID reasons
PID is not problem for vehicle, just paint and mark it properly all over. And no they don't have enough vehicles not as real supply and not as full theoretical TOE either. For example in US mech/tank platton commander has jeep ( hammwee now jltv) in addition to his tank/IFV. Russians squad commanders have only tank/ifv.
Facial hair can interfere with the wearing of a gas mask, increasing the risk of becoming a casualty during a chemical weapons attack. The entire reason shaving rules exist is because people found this out the hard way in WW1.
It's not about grooming standards, Cuckasimov was just gauging how willing are the troops to follow his orders. And if gaynerites and Churkoids are already rebelling and telling him to frick off over something as simple as shaving then he's pretty much fricked.
Discipline. A soldier needs to be able to perform tasks he does not want to or thinks make no sense without question.
Grooming, marching and making your bed to exact standards all aim to reinforce a good culture within a unit.
Man, it's incredible how you tourists will shit on anything if Russia does it, regardless of the levels of hypocrisy required to do so. Did whoever wrote this even stop to think about how the British army also enforces grooming standards?

I dont care if they have their legs blown off or if they feel cold, they will not traipse around looking like arabs.
The beard is irrelevant, the process of shaving is shit for your skin in the cold though.
"POHLEESE THAT MOOSTACHE!....YA'LL STARTNTA LOOK LIKE ELVISES!"
Know what lowers morale even more? Your artillery support having no shells and your issued weapon previously having been present in the battle for Stalingrad
This is totally a dig at Wagner and the Chechen units, since they value beards a lot more than regular Russian troops.
Wagner and the Chechen units do not fall under the Russian MoD so it has nothing at all to do with them.
Discipline is important and it makes muzzies seethe so I'm all for it.

Around the same period, french policemen had to wear mandatory mustaches too. Autism was at full force right before WW1
WW1 fricked beards and muttonchops because of gasmasks.
Even AH had to chop his full handlebar moustache down into that shitty little toothbrush so the straight sides would meet the new army moustache regs.
Was there thought to be some tactical advantage to this or was it just for aesthetics/discipline reasons?
It originated withe the EIC in India; large mustaches were considered more masculine/respected by the natives.
Russians don't wear moustaches, they shave it and leave only beard.
It's called Wahhabi beard style, and is very popular amongst ethnic russians
Goddamn

Possibly, but they don't have a great track record in this department. Also believe the opposite of anything the nyt publishes.
You sound like a high school dropout.
Am I wrong?
You sound like a left winger
Yes you are. And yes I am. You can sneed about it.
Frick off leave and have a nice day.
Do the donbabwae/luganda collaborators and occupiers really larp communisms lmao
This war was basically started by Russians and wannabe Russians who yearn for the Soviet Union but with Imperial Russia's borders.
They don't larp. They *are* communists and therefore subhuman.

Far right is based, including the spanish ones from what I've seen.

>Speaking from experience
On the other hand a clean shaved face makes you more vulnerable to frostbite and to fellowsoldiers who think you are cute.
dude has a point. do you really want to be twinkbait in the russian army? other non-rapey militaries, ok cool. but shaviung and getting naked with russians around you?
I wish a bunch of hunky men would watch me shave while I'm naked
Clean shaved is not a requirement where i served, but groomed was a requirement
Meaning your NCO decided if it looked good enough, some guys just hade shitty beards and where forced to be clean shaved
>Frostbite
>wear a fricking Balaklava
Shaving face hair in field conditions does more bad than good, it promotes skin damage and possible infections.
No beard rule has legit reason of gas amsks, everything else is military been morons as usual.
In filthy enviroment beards make you real vulnerable to lice, it wasn't just about the gas masks
Its also why you get a buzzcut in the military
>In filthy enviroment beards make you real vulnerable to lice,
Today we have chemicals that kills lice dead, anon, that is not problem.
>Inb4 Zyklon B holocaust jokes
BTW clean shaven soldiers of WWI, and WWII had full pockets of cloth lice.
Do Russians use them though?
Why spend money on a bunch of chemicals if you can just shave a homie?
>Today we have chemicals
Maybe *we* do, but rus soldiers barely have water lmao
Here's the thing, for that to happen they also need to hand out the necessary supplies and THAT is what I don’t see happen.
It's good to know puccioid high command has got its priorities in order. Hoping they'll force mobiks to do parades on the frontline too.

Police that moustache!!
>Y’all starting to look like a bunch o Elvis’s

Lessens the workload on mortuaries, soon theyll be asking the troops to wear suits and crucifixes.
Implying they dont just bury the dead right there and then
Kek does anyone else pick up on the incredible seethe coming out of the British update?
No, it's just you and your projections.
??
What? No.
umaru is bulletproof and thus safe from your nasty seething.
I fricking hate that b***h, reminds me way too much of my ex.
Every single one yeah, but this thread less so since it's about trivial stuff.
Oh nvm I thought you meant from Russians reading it mb.
look good, feel good, do good.

Better gas mask seal in case HATO starts using homogas against them?
>Tactical advantages of enforcing grooming standards?
Ability to use gas mask.
Chemical weapon attacks incoming.
they should start by forcing their soldiers to stop shitting up their environment
This is what I assumed the OP was about
The Ukies pick their angle of attack based on how much rubbish is lying around the enemy positions because that tells them where the least disciplined (and thus most likely to run) units are stationed, so enforcing standards of cleanliness in the field really would offer and immediate tactical advantage to the Russians
This is factional bickering directed at the Chechens.
For me, it's the Confederate "bushwhacker curls" haircut.
It's a mixed bag

Sure, that's the original reason but does anybody think Ukraine is going to risk loosing international goodwill by using chemical weapons?
If Russia uses chemical weapons then their units will need to wear gas masks to prevent casualties as well.
but chechens have been grooming mobiks since the start of this war
It's not about grooming standards, Cuckasimov was just gauging how willing are the troops to follow his orders. And if gaynerites and Churkoids are already rebelling and telling him to frick off over something as simple as shaving then he's pretty much fricked.
>Tactical advantages of enforcing grooming standards?
Keeps things and kids groomed properly.
The policy of raping each other’s buttholes and getting blind drunk, however, remains unchanged
Yeah kadyrovites/Chechens are going to love this mandatory "you have to save" order from skinny ass moscowites officers.
Discipline. A soldier needs to be able to perform tasks he does not want to or thinks make no sense without question.

“Marine, what the frick is your malfunction? You have a peace symbol but you write ‘Born to Kill’ on your helmet cover?”
“Sir, it’s about the duality of man…the Jungian thing…”
“Do you want me to take a giant shit on you?”
Lice removal.
The absolute state of monke's horde
>"p-please ivan ivanovitch, i-i'm your new commander general and i o-o-order you to s-shave, buh-блaт!"
>"Heт."
Given the state of Russia's army, Gerasimov has all the good reason to start the fight against flee- and lice-born diseases like typhus right now.
Man, it's incredible how you tourists will shit on anything if Russia does it, regardless of the levels of hypocrisy required to do so. Did whoever wrote this even stop to think about how the British army also enforces grooming standards?
Good post
They can be used to uncover enemy infiltrators. If they see someone with a mustache from now on, it might be an Iraqi.
