Charming & Lethal

We don’t want to imply that beautiful women don’t exist in the military, but we have to admit that we always thought stunning ladies with guns were an action-movie thing. As it turns out, there are at least 115,000 women in the Russian Army, and some of them can charm their enemies to death.
Females in the Russian Army make for a success story, but it wasn’t always like that. The first all-female battalion in Russia was created by the Bolsheviks in 1917 and was dissolved in the same year. After just three months of fighting, 1,750 of the 2,000 women in the unit were killed.
