As a result unless the AA batteries get you, or Fritz gets lucky lobbing a Mk 108 shell at you from long range, it's actually pretty safe and effective.
Russia has suffered ~1.4M casualties in Ukraine. If around half of those were fertile women it would increase the rate of their current demographic collapse by several percentage points.
Based on data from US military (professionals, not draftees), female service members are very likely to get pregnant, just before combat deployment.
So drafting women is a double win, it increases number of soldiers and increases fertility.
And if the survival of your culture depends on forcing women to breed on fear of death, better if it doesn't.
It is you, who treats women as some sort of fertile prduction factories! "Military perspective" is irrelevant, it takes 18 years to raise kid.
My point is they do their duty as citizens, nobody is forcing anyone to get pregnant! I just disproved your myth that combat service somehow lowers fertility.
> they get fed into a meat grinder at the front
Ukraine is great at killing russian soldiers. If they have more soldiers (women), they would do even better job! That is what war does, it is not gender specific!
