@rebmasel on TikTok is amazing. Her readings of "iconic court transcripts" are gold

No, the way it's often used is closer to "posh guest worker".

It's more that the bureaucracy is so complex and fragmented that it's incredibly hard to digitalize. Lots of small fiefdoms that are entitled to make IT purchasing decisions themselves means paper is the only universal interchange format. In addition there is an unwillingness to change how things have always been done, or to simplify procedures. So there you have it: The German bureaucracy is too fat to move.

Not sure how well this has worked in practice. Lots of bad cancellation proceedures last time I had to do it

The Russian information space is tightly controlled. There's little warning to volunteers.

What about posting manuals on War Thunder forums?

Well, could always spend some of the money wasted on exchange rate manipulation on food subsidies instead. But I think just making the transition more gradual would be my bet

Having the currency be free-floating is the best policy. The transition might be a bit too rapid, though

No ejection seat, though...

I wouldn't worry about reliability. The problem with bullpups has always been ergonomics. Lots of peogress has been made there, but there will always be a tradeoff. Anyway, the Tavor is not very accurate, which is fine for its intended role, but most western militaries aren't interested in Soviet AK-class accuracy. It's much more suited to door-kicking than trench warfare.
