Claim 1: “The authorized strength of the Russian Armed Forces has been increased by 27,000 personnel to form separate military construction units”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence does not contain any information regarding the increase of 27,000 personnel for military construction units. One source mentions a general increase in authorized strength to 2,426,130 personnel, but it does not mention the specific figure of 27,000 or the purpose of forming construction units. The other two sources discuss Special Operations Forces and female drone pilots, which are irrelevant to the claim.
