The Bear Awakens: Russia's Military Is Back

Putin may have bought some new toys but his existing military is in sad shape. They have not been maintaining the aged equipment that they have. Their Navy is a joke and can hardly leave port. Military training and morale is exceptionally poor

Paper Tiger

Your media have to choose general line of propaganda...

How can we "successfully invade in Ukraine" and "be a threat to all Europe (from Baltic conutries to Lissabon)", if our equipment is a joke and military training and morale is exceptionally poor?

You are capable of picking on the little guys.....most bullies are

NATO would kick your ass

Stated like the true warmonger you are.

Not So Scary: This Is Why Russia's Military Is a Paper Tiger

The Russian military has started to reform after the Georgia conflict—but only small portions of its forces have transitioned to the “new model.” More than two-thirds of Russia’s armed forces—particularly the ground forces—still follow the old Soviet conscript model and are still armed with increasingly decrepit Soviet-era hardware. Even the majority of Russia’s forces fighting in Syria are using modernized hardware from the 1970s.

But while Russian is maintaining a formidable submarine force, most of Moscow’s surface fleet is composed of aging Soviet-era ships. Those ships are not properly upgraded, maintained or manned and don’t sail very often. Perhaps the best example is Russia’s lone carrier—Admiral Kuznetsov—which is prone to breaking down at inopportune times during deployments. It actually sails with an ocean-going tug to haul it back to port—just in case. Russia is building new ships, but the pace of modernization is ponderously slow.

Do you know, drinking of deicing fluid (cleaning by flowing fluid along the crowbar during a strong frost) is making our soldiers extremely brave?

For some reason American president and Media "are forgeting" which country's army has defeated ISIS in Syria just in 5 months vs. 3 years of US led coalition questionable attempts.

A speech by the American president at the CIA’s HQ has focused on big gains made by the US-led antiterrorist coalition, but failed to mention the contribution made by the Syrian Army, the Kurdish militia and the Russian Air Force.

Yet a confidential NATO analysissaid in late February that 40 Russian warplanes deployed to Syria had outperformed 180 aircraft of the US-led coalition in bombing Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL). After Moscow announced the withdrawal of its main forces from Syria in late February, Russia’s defense minister reported to Vladimir Putin that the Russian task force had performed well over 9,000 sorties (and many more airstrikes) against IS in less than five months.
Obama praises US-led coalition for crushing ISIS, fails to mention Russian, Syrian victories

Independent:
The biggest military defeat that Isis has suffered in more than two years. The recapture of Palmyra. And we are silent. Yes, folks, the bad guys won, didn't they? Otherwise, we would all be celebrating, wouldn't we?

Less than a week after the lost souls of the 'Islamic Caliphate' destroyed the lives of more than 30 innocent human beings in Brussels, we should - should we not? - have been clapping our hands at the most crushing military reverse in the history of Isis. But no.

Here are the Syrian army, backed, of course, by Vladimir Putin's Russkies, chucking the clowns of Isis out of town, and we daren't utter a single word to say well done.

Why, if the Americans hated Isis so much, didn't they bomb the suicide convoys that broke through the Syrian army's front lines? Why didn't they attack Isis?

I could not help but smile when I read that the US command claimed two air strikes against Isis around Palmyra in the days leading up to its recapture by the regime. That really did tell you all you needed to know about the American "war on terror". They wanted to destroy Isis, but not that much.

So in the end, it was the Syrian army and its Hizballah chums from Lebanon and the Iranians and the Russians who drove the Isis murderers out of Palmyra. I have written many times that the Syrian army will decide the future of Syria.

Aren't we supposed to be destroying Isis? Forget it. That's Putin's job. And Assad's. Pray for peace, folks.

I suppose in your small mind, you think this good news.

I guess your hero, Poootin, is having a hard time. It seems he is attempting to recreate the Russian version of the Ronald Reagan days, except he will need to increase the Russian deficit a lot more to complete with the Ronald Reagan's fiasco.

Oh brother...there you go again...LOL just like the fools in Ronnie's day.

Putin is no hero of mine. He is a corrupt lying politician just like pols in the USA.

Of course, you can't see what is really being done to Russia is an attempt by the West to control Russia. The artificially low oil prices, instigated by the US and Saudis, is designed specifically to harm Russia.

How did the US and Russia instigate artificially low oil prices? Are you in the oil industry, or what information are you using to claim oil prices are artificially low, how do you define artificial in this context?

It has been reported the USA and Saudi have conspired to lower oil prices to harm the Russian economy.

You need to find different sources of information, if this news to you.

Ok, I'll accept that. Please provide your source, so I can be as informed as you.

You claim Assad as terrorist only because Assad don't trade oil with ISIS and don't have money to wash his name, like Erdogan or Erdogan's patron Killary...

You also claim killed by russian strikes as "civilian" only because you sitting in US, behind the fleet protection. I could see changing of your opinion with interest, if you was one of kurds, or ezids, or any of real Syrian civilian...

And also I don't tell anything about "US killers" when they strike medical objects in Afganistan - we all really don't know, who is hiding under a mask of "peaceful civilians"...

Only Europe now starting to learn this truth at their skin...

Ha-ha, and then 27 sailors became a "finger lovers", and also gave similar finger to their commander at nearest port to become a peace-lovers? ))
