I like (bad word, more so surprised) at how the closer to the frontline you get it ramps up so drastically. While that is true in many militaries; the difference between 550 behind lines and 4000 on the lines for a nation actually at war is almost hilarious.

If these numbers keep going up I wouldn't be surprised if we have more and more contractors heading to Ukraine.

Almost a tenfold increase. More with bonuses.
