  1. Summary:

    Despite some improvements in organization, training, and equipment, particularly for elite units, Russia’s army still faces significant challenges. These include poor troop quality, equipment shortages, and high casualty rates. Russian forces have adapted by focusing on defense and long-range attacks, but losses—especially of tanks—remain substantial.

    Russia’s air force and navy are weak compared to NATO’s capabilities, with its air force struggling in doctrine and equipment, and its Black Sea fleet suffering losses. While Russia is improving its electronic warfare and missile capabilities, it is still reliant on allies like Iran, China, and North Korea for key supplies.

    Overall, while Russia’s military has evolved, it remains underprepared for a direct conflict with NATO. NATO’s superior coordination, equipment, and air power would likely give it a decisive advantage in any conventional war. The danger, however, is that Russia might resort to nuclear weapons if faced with a significant defeat.

  2. Russia’s military is the most overhyped shit I’ve ever seen. They have hardly any veteran fighters anymore. Their equipment is garbage. They are in no way a professional military. They have been decimated by the fighting in Ukraine. Almost the entire command structure is corrupt. Half of the military is run by the FSB, not to mention most decisions are made by Putin himself.

    There is no way Russia could even remotely challenge the west. There is no way they could ever beat Europe, let alone challenge the US.

    What is with the narrative of a powerful Russian military.

    To quote Putain:

    >*’Of course, NATO’s united potential and that of Russia are incomparable. We understand that. But we also understand that Russia is one of the world’s leading Nuclear powers and is superior to many of those countries in terms of the numbers of modern nuclear force components. There will be no winners.’*
