3,400€/month to be part of some special forces doesn't seem like a good deal? Like, sure. It's a good salary. But for joining a war where about a third of the soldiers already are casualties it seems a bit low. At least if you view them as mercenaries. For volunteers I guess that the ideological reasons play a huge part. But why does the company emphasize that they are only called volunteers to avoid legal issues? The whole thing seems quite sketchy.
It's nowhere near a good salary to be potentially shot at blown up and killed. You can get way more than that sitting at an office (most likely at home now due to WFH).
I wouldn't go at all but if I were to go I would probably want 5x+ that amount minimum due to the inheritent danger.
Edit: since you're at war you're effectively working 24/7, I fail to see how anything less than minimum 15-20x the amount is a good salary all things considered.
The economy isn't looking that great in Spain right now AFAIK. With high unemployment it could at least be somewhat attractive.
