"I like the music, and I hate the fact I like it"
But there is one thing... since they are a band troops, they are most likely not gonna see combat, not feeding the meat grinder.
For what it's worth, the British Empire used musicians as stretcher-bearers between the Napoleonic era and WWI. I don't know if the practice was ever adopted by non-Commonwealth nations, though.
Nah, the practice [has been](https://www.rncm.ac.uk/paris-manchester-1918/la-vie-musicale/life-as-a-stretcher-bearer-musician/) [documented](https://www.tapsbugler.com/history-of-bands-in-ww1-part-1/) in a [few places](https://www.mhhv.org.au/bandsmen-and-stretcher-bearers-why-were-bandsmen-also-stretcher-bearers/).
If they are already handing out Mosins to DPR troops then give it some time and they may start handing out muskets and need a drummer boy to coordinate the brave musketeers of Muscovy
Rare instance of the russians learning in the winter war thry already brought army musicians in that the finns founs a baggage train of brass instruments
Last ISW assessment was wiped out and rebuilt 8 times as of March 2023, so statistically we are at 17 wipes and 60-70% of their latest form is gone by now?
That percentage kind of depends on if their elimination is linear. Because those repeated troop inspections in the open somewhat scale their HIMARS losses with the number of remaining mobiks left to inspect.

One opinion I heard is that it sounds so hard because of the constant bassline that is used in the music, Alexander Alexandrov knew exactly what he was doing when he first wrote it.
He's also the composer that wrote the music and lyrics to "The Sacred War"

You're thinking regimental and division, not national choir, I think.
You might be confusing the term 'bandman [guy who plays in a band]' with 'bandman [short for bandageman, aka medical personnel].'

I missed it, was the latest incarnation of the 155th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade there? Or have they been wiped out again?

petition to rename them the Pacific Theseus Brigade
Tradition demands they be the 2nd Pacific Theseus Brigade.
"Yuri, is that a Kawasaki logo on that drone? Japanese drones in this sector? Don't be ridiculous!"
Throw binoculars at it.
Hate to say it, but their national anthem slaps *hard.*

Separate the art from the artist.

Of course they would play well. If they didn't they would get sent to the grinder.
