The draft age for all male citizens of the Russian Federation comes when they reach the age of eighteen and lasts until they reach twenty-seven years. The total length of draft age is nine years.
The question of the time of occurrence and the length of military age is relevant for any male citizen of our country. The answer is enshrined in article 22 of the Federal Law "On Military Duty and Military Service", which defines the categories of citizens subject to draft. It should be noted that the onset of draft age is associated with adulthood, that is, a citizen can be called up to the military commissariat for the implementation of draft measures no earlier than eighteen years. Otherwise, any actions, decisions of employees of the commissariat itself, of the draft board may be declared unlawful in court, canceled.
When does the draft age end?
The noted norm of the law "On Military Duty and Military Service" refers to the age of twenty-seven years as a male citizen as the end time of draft age. Often among the inhabitants there is a misconception, they believe that citizens of 27 years of age can also be conscripts. In fact, when establishing these boundaries, the legislator did not imply the inclusion of 27-year-old citizens among the draftees, so the onset of twenty-seven years clearly indicates the cessation of this age. This conclusion is confirmed by the practice of the draft commissions throughout the country. Consequently, the length of the draft age for Russian citizens is nine full years.
