Yes, this guy is suspicious but I can imagine that Russian recruiters may lie to their prospects and offering such amounts of money can be very tempting for the poorest Africans. Putin needs bodies. Many bodies.

Ukraine having the same problem with Abrams and Chally as the Germans did in the same region with the Tiger 1 (and to a lesser degree with the Panther) and why the T-34 had a huge advantage over the terrain over there, outside of a small window after the summer sun had dried everything out.
