Depends if we talking Russia or normal world.
Some Russian conscripts who were collected in the streets are already in Ukraine.

A swedish "expert" i heard say that 5 month was probably a good enough time to get a good operating force but its going to vary ofcourse. His thoughts were that these rectruits now that are beeing sent in without proper traininig would do little to change the situation but speculated that russia could have reasonably trained forces to put in after the winter.

It's numbers game. Any kid with a gun of any sort that can aim and pull a trigger can kill you. Fact that many of them will never return is not something Putin is concerned about, he only wants to slow down UA soldiers advancing. 300k moving targets will slow you down regardless how capable of shooting back they are.

I've done 11 months of mandatory military service. For normal infantry it really isn't all that difficult. You can pretty much learn on the job. Operating and maintaining weapons isn't much of a challenge. Finding cover and digging fox holes is pretty self-explanatory. The problem is you need somebody to run the show. You need to have officers that know what they are trying to accomplish and can explain why. You need to have comms, intelligence and
rear support. So even if Ruzzia throws in million men it will not be able to solve the critical issues.

What’s the minimum training time a soldier needs to become efficient on a battle field? Is a few months enough or do you need years?
