ТЕБЯ заберут даже с категорией «В». Главная хитрость военкоматов в 2026 году
Main summary
Key takeaways
Main ideas / lessons conveyed
- The video explains how military fitness categories affect:
- whether a person is called up for conscription or military training,
- how they might be treated during mobilization,
- and how categories can or cannot be changed under current (2026-era) rules.
- A key theme is that Category “B” is often misunderstood. The speaker argues that Category B does not exempt someone from mobilization; instead, it mainly affects their placement in the mobilization queue and whether/when they may be re-examined in certain contexts.
- The video contrasts:
- Category B (serviceable with minor restrictions; “in the reserves”),
- Category D (unfit; removal from military registration / no liability in the same way),
- and reserve status in general (still subject to summons and mobilization).
Fitness categories described (as presented)
- A: “Suitable without restrictions”
- Mentioned sub-indicators: A1, A2, A3, A4 (used to determine which troops).
- B: “Good with minor restrictions”
- Subcategories: B1, B2, B3, B4
- Claim: the higher the number, the less suitable it becomes (and the smaller the troop choice).
- “Extremely worthless” (subtitle text unclear, but context suggests a category worse than B)
- Presented as essentially a delay (six months / a year) pending decisions of a medical commission.
- D: “Completely unfit,” with limits
- The speaker claims this means:
- exemption from conscription,
- transfer to reserves is described as well, but specifically that the person is removed from military registration and becomes uncollectable/unmobilizable in the way described.
- The speaker claims this means:
Key claims about reserve status vs. Category D
- Reserve is not “freedom.”
- The speaker frames reserve as the state keeping you as a military resource.
- Still subject to:
- subpoenas,
- training call-ups,
- and mobilization.
- Category D is portrayed as fundamentally different:
- the person is removed from military registration,
- and (per the speaker) cannot be obtained via collection or mobilization.
Whether Category B can be changed (and when)
The general rule claimed
- The military registration and enlistment office (voenkomat) cannot proactively re-examine you just to change your fitness category.
- The speaker states that only you can initiate a change via an application/statement.
Still, re-examination can happen in limited situations (as described)
The video claims there are exactly three cases where a person with Category B may be legally allowed to undergo a medical examination:
- You apply yourself (initiates the procedure).
- Mobilization (medical process tied to mobilization).
- Conscription for military training
- Category B does not exempt you from training.
- Before training camps, a medical examination is required to determine fitness for that specific training.
- This is where the category can be revised according to updated disease-schedule criteria.
The “main risk scenario” described (training camp medical exam)
- If you receive a summons to a training camp, you may be examined under a newer disease schedule (stricter rules).
- The speaker claims diagnoses that previously qualified for Category B can now qualify only for something like B3 (or otherwise reduced suitability).
- The speaker also describes a scenario where:
- you show up with no documents,
- the doctor compares your condition to updated criteria,
- and the category may be changed based on what is documented/observed.
Legal consequences of not showing up (training-related)
If you fail to appear for the training camp / associated medical examination
- The speaker claims the worst outcome is administrative liability:
- Article 21.5 of the Russian Code of Administrative Offences
- The speaker says this is not criminal in that context.
- Article 328 of the Russian Criminal Code is described as applying only to conscripts, and the speaker adds:
- the Supreme Court clarified that reservists do not qualify for it.
The video’s “big conclusion” (as stated)
- The “main value” of fitness Category B is not primarily about moving you later in mobilization.
- The speaker claims its most important function is:
- closing your obligation/route at the service level (i.e., limiting how you’re drawn into certain pathways).
- They also contrast:
- People with Category B may be less likely to be pushed into a military contract than others.
Contract pathway described (how people may be drawn in)
Who can sign contracts (as claimed)
- Since summer of 2023, people with fitness Category B have been allowed to sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense.
- Signing is said to require passing a commission, with more lenient requirements than for urgent service.
- The speaker claims the third column of the disease schedule is used for these contract decisions and is described as the “toughest one” for allowing release once committed.
Claimed “no way back”
- The speaker asserts:
- once someone signs a contract, being discharged is described as very difficult/impossible (“until death” is how it’s dramatized).
Claimed “scheme” used to recruit
- The speaker says the recruiter process often looks like:
- commandant calls you,
- shows payment figures,
- promises no front-line/assaults,
- pressures you for about “2 hours,”
- and the person leaves “as a military man.”
Practical “how to protect yourself” rules (explicit list)
The video gives three rules:
- Don’t sign anything
- Don’t sign a contract or any reserve-related paperwork “for reporting purposes.”
- The speaker claims it is your right to refuse to join the reserve and that there is no punishment for refusal (as stated by the speaker).
- Don’t surrender your military ID
- Keep it with you; show it unfolded but don’t give away the original.
- Don’t let an employer take it.
- The speaker suggests making a notarized copy, stating that it’s enough for accounting.
- Reason: the mobilization order is pasted into the document; surrendering it may facilitate mobilization steps.
- Don’t go to the voenkomat for anything not on the summons
- Go only to the exact office/time listed in the subpoena.
- If the matter is done, leave without causing additional interaction across the voenkomat premises.
Restrictions and rights allegedly affected by Category B
- The speaker claims Category B itself does not impose bans like:
- education restrictions (universities/college/master’s/postgraduate),
- ordinary employment,
- loans/mortgages/real-estate transactions/individual entrepreneurship,
- car licensing.
- Instead, the speaker attributes restrictions to failure to appear for summons, not the letter/category.
- They also claim rights differ by:
- diagnosis,
- and whether a person is registered with a psychiatric clinic.
- They say that real limits are more relevant for certain roles/authorities:
- law enforcement / security bodies (named later),
- and specifically that what matters is the diagnosis, not just the letter.
The mobilization “queue” explanation (as described)
- The speaker distinguishes:
- fitness category (health letter),
- from a reserve category/queue number (how early you are called up).
- They outline a simplified ranking:
- First: young people who served in some combat unit/specialty and are collected first.
- Second: those who received Category A/B and served immediately, etc.
- The speaker claims people with Category B may be later, but could move forward if their reserve/fitness category is rewritten.
- The speaker claims this is why category changes are being pursued.
Methods/channel content referenced
- The video references a separate detailed article and says it contains:
- a step-by-step method to obtain a military ID “for free” even when “completely healthy,”
- collecting medical history,
- and appealing decisions (“surgical tricks” phrasing is used).
- It states the article is updated to match the new disease schedule and 2026 realities and includes a link in the description.
Note: the subtitles present this as advice; the content includes misleading/illicit implications depending on implementation. The summary here stays at the level of what is claimed in the subtitles.
