The True State of Russian Army
The Russian military, the second largest military in the world, may not be what it looks like. Lies and systematic corruptions may in fact have dragged Russia into this war with Ukraine, which has been heavily backed up by the US and NATO. We will present the evidence, you make your own decision, because the Russian Army, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #longs

Hm, all is nice except that the most probably it was not S-300rocket (Ukrainian) due to how AA rockets work and no AA rocket has such explosive payload
But tbf, the Ukrainian S-300 "missing it's target" was a pretty sloppy gloss over. If it really was our missile, which is yet to be unilaterally confirmed, that only means that it hit it's russian target, which caused the debris to land in Poland. If you wanted a contrasting analogy so much - you could've just mentiond about us using "modified" Maxim and MG machineguns XD Just goes to show, how it's in everyones interests to end this Russian fiasco ASAP and arm Ukraine, without holding back for some madeup reasons.
Honestly, probably one of your best videos yet! Love your work! Keep it up!

I feel like they dont even have nukes
I mean, the basic idea of avoiding war by making your enemy think you cant be beat isnt very stupid. What IS stupid is starting a war you cant win because you forgot your own military doctrine. Thats not just stupid, thats absolutely insane.
I would argue that if you can make yourself strong as well as projecting strength, you probably should go ahead and do so in case someone tests you. In this case, the reason their military is in terrible shape isn't necessarily because they didn't invest, it's because corruption devoured the military from the inside out. I think Putin's 'cleaning up' of his inner circle is evidence that while I'm sure he knew about his buddies, and I'm sure himself, dipping into the funds being allocated, he didn't realize just how bad it was. Corruption is so bad that even when they were being sent supplies to prepare for the invasion, the army was just selling the surplus off before it even arrived.
If Russia didn't have nuclear weapons, and anyone else didn't either, we would've seen them fall right after WW2.
@@LaVaZ000 I doubt their nukes work...nuclear weapons are expensive to maintain
@@insertcognomen I expect the majority of the nukes would work. But those that don't work properly are a very big problem. Not that they will go off by a launch accident, nukes don't work like that, but the damage to launchers, the precious few that exist, will considerably deteriorate any kind of use of those nukes, deterrence or otherwise. Same for fixed launch sites, they are protected underground, but the siles might become unusable.
I mean hell, the Russians had our US military "experts" tricked that they were far more competent & lethal than they ever were.

Bravo! Informative and entertaining. Phenomenal how greed pervades us as a species.
My sister went to Russia a few years ago on some missionary work to help orphans get high tech hearing aids. She said every facet of Russia is corrupt. It's a way of life there. They had to pay a lot of people off and after they left the people in charge of the orphans took their hearing aids and sold them after giving them less quality hearing aids to replace them.
look at teh corrupt elections here in the US, the democrat party getting funded by the fraud at FTX and Bernie Madoff, the 2008 collapse and bailout by tax payers, the same people that caused that are now running the corrupt US government. Look in the mirror its worse here. the Russians don't have 31 trillion in debt they are handing off to the next generations.
Corruption rots any country. They people of Russia should be the wealthiest on earth enjoying the longest life spans and long holidays anywhere in the world. They're not of course.
I'm told a lot of charity is that way
A friend of mine worked there, the police advised them to hire bodyguards when traveling to and from work to protect against kidnapping for ransom. They gave them a contact number, the police were the bodyguards, off duty.
@@jerrystauffer2351 Here in Ireland my brother donated clothing etc. to a charity. The woman said she was a volunteer there, my brother commended her for giving her time free of charge. "It's worth it for all the stuff I get here" she replied. They get the first pick of the valuable items.
Lazerpig also has several videos about this topic, my favourite being "what sunk the Moskva" where he goes in detail about how great the ship should've been, and then reads out an alledgedly leaked readiness report. Let me quote this part directly from that video. "Out of the three-tier anti-missile systems in place, none of the actual systems were working at the time he was struck the short-range sea to air launchers did not work and the flanex last resort missile interception of which the ship has six, only one worked, the rest were being used for spare parts this left the s-300 anti-air systems which could theoretically protect the ship, however the radar system they were linked to interfered with the communications system and thus was turned off but even when turned on, the system apparently had difficulty locking on to targets and that twin-linked 130mm cannon that could be used as a backup to the CIWS system? yeah that also didn't work, hydraulics leak apparently. and all the damage control systems, yeah none of those worked either. several other watertight doors were found to be leaking, some were wedged open. out of the 500 fire extinguishers that were supposed to be on board the ship only had 50 and due to constant theft the safety equipment was locked in storage of which only the admiral had the key to meaning in order to try and save the ship the crew would first have to try and break open the lockers the safety equipment was in it gets worse several of the engines were past their service replacement date by about 10 000 hours, they could only be turned on and run by express permission from the admiral meaning the ship was locked in at about half speed, but only for emergencies the vast majority of the control systems were non-operable or simply did not have a functioning indicator light meaning that if there was a problem no one on the bridge would know about it the ship's generators were all quickly approaching their maximum service life and would appear to work at random. the steering gear was also partially jammed and the ship could only perform a 20 degree turn and the entire ship had heating and cooling issues. Had the Moskva been a US ship and been found in this state the captain would have been court-martialled"
Moskva was also very old, 50 years old.
@@eliasziad7864 Sure... 50 years old does come with its issues... but you gotta maintain your stuff. The Iowa class battleships did fine shelling iraq, they were 50 years old too. Fully combat ready with CIWS and missile launchers. Good maintenance is key, but in the corrupt world of russian officers that didn't happen
Lazer Pig is ight but the way he exaggerates his accent is annoying.
I will say this. I love lazerpig, but, and this is a big but, he was rather quick to take that document as the real thing. Until I get confirmation that this is a legitimate document of the russian navy, I'm going to hold my doubts on it. But something clearly went wrong with the ship for 2 missiles to have connected.
@@eliasziad7864 the Moskva is only around 40 years old and received a refit in 2016 which expected to extend the ships life expectancy of the ship to 2040.
So why you didnt win yet?
Almost like wars take years to pan out. Imagine telling this to someone during WWII which took six YEARS to fight. We’re only almost into year two of this conflict. By year three of WWII everyone was convinced that Nazi Germany would win, at least until 2 years later when they began to cave in and lose it all.
Because the West does not provide enough offensive weapons and because Russia still has cannon fodder
14:56 This video claiming that the reactive armor was absent was pretty convincingly rebutted. I can’t properly explain but I think it’s worth looking into to validate that point.
When you want to be a modern military but the game only gives you one research slot.

Those rifles were produced till 1970 dude.
I have one, it's similar to a 30 06. Mine was made in 1944. I had another one that was made in 1936. It was a little beat up. So I sold it.
I served in the Russian army in 2001-2003, at the dawn of the Putin era, in the elite space forces. Theft flourished even then. During my service two multi-ton power transformers from the substation, eight traveling wave lamps of 250 kg each from an object cordoned off with barbed wire and an alarm system were stolen. Thousands of palladium capacitors were torn out of the equipment by the officers. Military trucks drove on worn tires, on which there was no tread left, even in winter in ice. A lot of military vehicles were faulty. Pistol shooting classes were held every two months, each officer fired 3 shots. There were no other combat training classes, but we marched a lot, learned to pull the leg and perform marching techniques. The 'eye-wash' flourished. Periodically, commissions came from Moscow, for which we put things in order, made different signs, filled out logbooks, colored a trees and curbs of asphalt paths and did other nonsense. But 20 years ago, at least they gave out a good military uniform to officers and soldiers and the food in the daily rations was not overdue. Service in the Russian army is a daily anecdotal stories. There is a saying in Russia: "those who served in the army don't laugh in the circus."

How come?
4:42 That helmet is an STSh-81 "Sfera" helmet and it is a real design from all the way back in the Soviet Union times. Issued mostly to interior police and special purpose troops for anti-terrorism and urban combat, it consists of three separate titanium or steel plates. It's an older design, and looks odd because of its unorthodox construction, but it isn't necessarily a fake. (although commercial reproductions are made for airsoft or cosplay that offer zero protective capabilities and this could be one such example)
While you're right, the main purpose of a helmet isn't to stop bullets, but protect from fragments, falling debris, and ricochets.
is it any good for mountain biking? l crashed and broke mine earlier this year, cost me £30 to replace, must be about the same cost as that russian one and about as much use for deflecting high velocity rounds.
Look the Bond! When does Putin die? MI6 goes into how many cancers already? poor english poodles.
@@philldavies7940 No helmet is used to deflect any type of small arms fire. Its like a construction helmet that protects against debris that may injure you, but military helmets also protect against shrapnel from explosions or from bullets hitting the wall which can send fragments of concrete towards your head. A helmet that could protect you from even a .45 caliber round would be way too heavy and unwieldly.
"Sphere" which is not sphere but 3 pieces. Oh, that traditional russian lies 😂
It might be unbelievable to see so many things failing due to maintenance, but to be honest high end tanks, trucks, and aircraft require a very significant amount of highly trained crews to support their operation. For example for each individual fighter jet sortie you will typically have between 20-50 technicians dealing with the fuel, inspections, engine maintenance, repair, rearmament around the clock. Much older equipment, like the simple truck or less sophisticated tanks, requires less frequent maintenance and fewer support personnel; but they still require people trained in proper procedures and quality components (tank tracks fall off pretty easily if you use 40-60 year old spare parts, or don't know the people with knowledge of the 'tricks' to making them last). And then when you use that older equipment you can't expect them to perform up to the speeds and capabilities of newer models.
hi
and russia lacked all these things. im willing to bet that a the majority of nato equipment in storage is well maintained and works when needed
My dad was in soviet army, all I can say is it wasn't maintained then, now it probably is worse. He had to drive a rocket carrier truck once a year just to see if it's running, a f-ing rocket carrier with 2 cabins. His jeep wasn't better either , if it broke down he didn't get new parts, he had to take them from another jeep that is sitting by side and is not used currently
@@jimmybayconn thats a big assumption, I think most nato states has the same fate because after the cold war most nato countries cut their defense budgets, only the US didnt.
the culture of Russia the General takes a cut, the Major takes a cut and the Captain, the NCO and then the lance corporal. so when you get to fixing the actual tank there`s just a few roubles left
This was good.. I genuinely watched the whole thing, with interest. Not that I was surprised by the facts
Just superbly put together. And extremely unbaised as well. Great stuff keep it up.
Ironically, I’ve seen a lot of real Russian military gears and equipment somehow end up for sale on some popular Chinese platforms such as Taobao, Jingdong, and Alibaba… I originally thought these are all replicas made in China for military enthusiasts, but it turned out that many of them are actually authentic Russian equipment of good quality, including anti-thermal camouflage uniforms, Kevlar bulletproof helmets etc, and even utility bayonets from the AK rifles🙃

Well Republicans are on Putin's side so it's not over yet. Russia has focused on perception since the cold war. They didn't care who died because of Chernobyl. They cared who knew about it. They didn't care about flaws, they cared about hiding it. That was the most important thing, hiding weakness because they thought that's what everyone else was doing. Republicans are doing the same because they don't know how to fix shit so they are now going pro Russia
That moment at 11:27 when the missile thinks, "hold on a second, I think I left the oven on"
He was scared
Yes, that was in Belgorod. There are over 20 videos when they try to attack Kharkiv and rockets fall near Belgorod
it didnt go back if you look at the smoke trail behind the missile. it just falls down and to the side, either way it shows how unreliable those missiles are.

Back in the '80's when I was in the army, the INT unit of my brigade, the Special Service Force, would sporadically publish a newsletter called The SSF Thrust. Contained within was non-classified information concerning Soviet forces, and other potential playmates. Topics covered were things like weapons, equipment, AFV's, etc., but also training, morale, leadership and general battle-worthiness of Soviet soldiers. Back then, it was known that the typical Red Army soldier was poorly-led, poorly educated, of low morale, minimally trained, and would have to fight at the end of a very sad excuse for a logistics chain. It was also known that in a lot of cases, troops would have to be tricked, threatened, or otherwise coerced into the battlespace. Once there, it was predicted that they would likely commit atrocities that were enabled, if not outright encouraged by their command structure. It would seem that not a lot has changed.
I can confirm this information. 7th Infantry, 1988 I watched a movie about the Soviets, and I rememberd that they used what looked like bandages wrapped around their feet instead of proper socks, and this was supposed to be their elite units...the film was a Soviet production, so it was their idea of their best foot forward... I remember we were laughing then, though we did fear their nukes.

Quite a lot of Russian soldiers have been able to actually experience that. No imagination needed.
6:10 The Finnish Mosin nagant is one of two rifle at 9-hole reviews to have reached 1000 yards with iron sights alone, so a scoped Mosin for DMR-stuff isn't quite as outdated as portrayed.
These are Tula made. Probbably more reliable but less precise due to loose tolerances
No not necessarily, but that assumes that the soldiers issued with Nagants are actually 1) intended for the DMR role, and 2) have received adequate training. And as @Vik Karabin pointed out, there's no knowing the quality and state of those rifles, especially after potentially many years in stock. It seems more likely to me that they've just been given them because there was nothing else to give.
I would imagine these bolt action rifles were not issued to front line assault troops. I also imagine them as a supplement to say AK--47 which have a range of only about 300m.
Nangant will still kill you just as a ak will so it's pretty irrelevant. It's not the first time a military power has used outdated weapons.

Out of necessity,,,, After all they never claimed to be a top military second only to the US.
Yes but the thing is that one is the military of a small and poor nation and the other one is what everyone believed to be the second strongest military in the world that could beat NATO in western Europe. Western European NATO soldiers would piss their pants laughing at the Russian military "might"
This is exactly why I distrust most of these youtube videos. Cause it is obvious that they're equally filled with propaganda also. Yes we know Russia is an extremely corrupt country, and their equipment is definitely no where as capable as the US... like they have been under sanctions for like the past 80 years, which means it really hard for them to get equipment and supplies. A budget of 100 Billion for the military annually isn't that much especially when you look at the US's own military spending, like how much equipment, missiles, planes, ships, let alone the personnel and administrative cost per unit. But a lot of the footage shown as evidence of Russian incompetence is and lies seem just like dishonest western propaganda. Like for instance pointing out the Russia is arming troops with Mosin Nagants, as if the Mosin Nagant wasn't upgraded and manufactured till 1950s. Russians obviously aren't arming their soldiers with 130 year old weapons as this video tries to imply. Not to mention many other countries still arm their troops with weapons designed 70-100 years ago. The US still has in service things like M1919 browning machine guns. 1911 pistols are still highly valued around the world cause they are simply well designed weapons that last through the test of time. Germany and many other countries still use MG-42's or rather what they call MG 3s. Not to mention I like how they act like Ukraine was better prepared and armed than Russia was all along... which it obviously wasn't. The Ukrainian military was even in worse condition, the only reason why Ukraine is doing so well is due to the US and NATO supply them huge amount of equipment. As soon as the US and NATO withdraws financial aid and support Ukraine will probably collapse logistically exactly the same way South Vietnam did. Where you have highly trained and motivated military (unlike Afghanistan where moral was low and leadership was a house of cards), but they have no means of producing vital war supplies like ammo, spare parts, fuel, and other ordnance (like missiles, artillery shells, etc). The clip of the fake armor plates being shot by a Ukrainian soldier... how do we know that wasn't staged? Where they just took a Russian plate carrier and took some random plates and falsely claimed that was what was in it? Or the clip of all the abandoned equipment at the edge of the river... the helmets, clothes, and grenades... how do we know the Ukranians didn't just take some previously captured uniforms and just lay them out for a photo op. Or a block of wood instead of explosives... Or the clip with the tank having just rubber instead of explosives where the reactive armor is suppose to be, how do we know that they didn't tamper with the block before hand. A lot of channels like this, Real Life Lore, William Spaniel, etc... all have a very heavy bias and losing credibility recently... where somehow everything is a problem for Russia only, but not a problem for the Ukrainians. For instance somehow supply issues over rivers and bad and an endless ever expanding front is an issue for Russia, but somehow the same thing doesn't apply to the Ukranians. You can't tell me in like 40 minute videos that all the roads were bombed to hell and back, or they were hard to pass due to all the rain and mud, rivers and bridges acting as bottlenecks for the Russians, then the next week act like those aren't issues for the advancing Ukrainians.

Maybe they were short on cosmoline.
Uh, mix Mazut/Bunker fuel with used motor oil, heat till the mix is good and runny, then immerse stuff you want to not rust in it and then drag it out to cool? Note: the above “waste” materials give a “crude and nasty” species of “Cosmoline.” Adding some paraffin or other petroleum waxes would result in a (much?) closer approximation to the real thing.

I've been waiting for a video like this to really explain what happened with Russia and its military. This is a very well done and informative video on the subject. I'm sure more will come out as time goes on as well. It's incredible to me that Russia had the world so well duped, but then again the Soviet Union was always doing the same thing and Putin is a product of that himself. However, I assumed he would not be so foolish as to actually pull the curtain back and let the world see the sorry state. Putin is such a cunning politician in most other regards, but I suppose everyone makes a mistake and Putin has been in power so long he has become detached from what the reality of the situation is. Evidence to Putin being unaware just how bad things were is the fact that he is changing his inner circle and in some cases those members are going missing entirely. And of course the ones suffering from this are soldiers who don't want to be there and of course the Ukrainian people. As winter looms, I imagine things will only get worse.
I can't believe that after seeing their incredibly abysmal record, there are people out there who stay convinced that Russia will "invade Europe" next.

Very old gun
The Finnish snipers in the winter war in1939 thought a lot of them 1 killed over 200 Russians with one. Old or not their bullets still kill
Nothing against old weapons. The US still uses the Browning M2 (1921), the US Colt 1911. And also the german Army uses the MG3 which is a modified MG42.
Ignorance! For example, the 1911 is used by some in the military, not everyone. Many have switched to Sig’s and other handguns.also, the 1911 if one of the best, if not the best, handgun ever produced; according to many. I personally would take a well made 1911 over a Glock any time. Also, those carrying 1911 in the military, are not carrying 1911’s made in 1911, but rather firearms made more recently. In case you don’t know, 1911 after so many years, it is still in production by several manufactures. It is the most sold and most copied handgun ever made. Russians on the other hand, carry rifles made decades ago. Hell, the Air Force still flies B52’s. Yet, B52’s is one of the most feared aircraft to this day. During the Iraq and Afghan war, captured enemy soldiers said that they hated and feared the B52’s mire than other aircraft. Because they blanketed the frown with bombs. It was more like it was raining bombs. So yes, some equipment round the world is old, but is well maintained and ready to go to war. For the Russians, their old junk is falling apart and can fail at any moment.
@@BikerGirlTravelerAnd the Russians have the Makarov, the Bear, the AK, which has legendary reliability, durability, and service life, and the PK. Why fix what’s not broken, especially when they have been built, possibly even unintentionally, to last decades.
Design work on the AK-47 began in 1945. It was presented for official military trials in 1947, and, in 1948, the fixed-stock version was introduced into active service for selected units of the Soviet Army. In early 1949, the AK was officially accepted by the Soviet Armed Forces[9] and used by the majority of the member states of the Warsaw Pact.
As a US soldier looking at what they are dealing with, I sleep a little more sound at night knowing that although our equipment could be better, it work and gets the job done. Training is actually given thought, and we go through many theoretical scenarios. Not to mention, our support is top-notch. Just so those of you wondering know. Yes, the US army spends its money on things that matter and keeps a competent force of soldiers. Thank god I didn't grow up in russia.
US military goofs up with some of its over-budget tech projects, but at its core has some amazing equipment and vehicles while prioritizing the safety of soldiers over everything else.
US army have amazing equipment, my uncle been in military for many years now and went to many hot points, like Afghanistan and said American bases are like shopping malls, u can find everything, he bought an ipad there cuz it was cheaper lul.

Thanks Jacob!
the bit about Ukrainian missiles striking Poland isn't a "fact" as it hasn't been confirmed to be Ukranian. In fact, it's most likely Russian but the west doesn't want to antagonize Poo-tin. Even if the missiles were Ukranian, the way it's presented in this video is inaccurate. Russian missiles "returning to home" are ones that were supposed to be set up to specifically target a different area. The missiles that struck Poland, IF they were Ukranian, were almost certainly fired from a SAM system in an attempt to destroy Russian cruise missiles, then missed and kept flying into Poland. The reason we know this most likely isn't the case is that Ukranian SAM systems are configured to blow themselves up if they miss the target to avoid this exact situation.
What baffles me is that with all this lack of Russia's equipments how are they making gains that means their old weapons are still good than that of what the whole NATO has
the frontlines have actually stopped for the most part, those gains were made in 2022 when Russia initially attacked Ukraine, and around September of 2022 the Ukrainian army liberated the Kharkiv and part of the Donetsk oblasts.

The worst offense in this war, and the biggest sign of Russian military failure is the sinking of the Moskva. Actual leaked Russian documents showed the ships’ radar systems and projectile defense systems weren’t maintained properly, yet it was still sent forth into battle after being passed through inspection. If their flagship can’t be properly maintained, than what would be?
It comes back to what the Kremlin was expecting. They wanted to win a fake war with a fake army. It just so happened the war turned out to be real.
the infamy of losing a flagship in a ground war they started against a nation that doesn't even have a navy will scar russia's reputation for centuries to come. Zelenski's best joke imo.

@@vothbetilia4862I don’t think it’s so much the gun itself as much as the fact that the gun was and continues to be in short supply. Russia doesn’t have the industrial capacity it once had.

Worse for China is this whole thing is causing people to further re-evaluate how much of a paper tiger China actually is. This is hard to say since they "could" still be a credible threat, but at the same time, they've displayed the same symptoms Russia showed with its military. This is compounded by border confrontations with their neighbors along with other reports not painting a good picture of the quality of their troops. It's very possibly the reason they've amped up their aggression in order to make up for Russia outting the game they've both been playing.
China power rellies in their numbers but their people are not having children also they are geting old.
China is 100% a paper tiger. Their military is untested, last conflict it took part in was in 1979 in Vietnam and the Chinese were devastated in that war. The navy while it might be more ships on paper compared to say the US, the tonnage is far smaller than that of the US. China lacks the lift capability to perform any type of air or sea invasion which limits their targets for any future conflicts. They haven’t invaded Taiwan because they know they cannot get enough material to the beaches in time for the invasion to be a success and they lack the population to throw men to the meat grinder trying to perform a beach landing. The one child policy really has crippled China.

My university had an exchange program with a sister school in Russia, and so we had professors & students that went there all the time (one was friends with Stalin's daughter & my ex-wife studied there for a semester). Our economics professor said he was looking out his hotel window watching construction in the parking lot and saw a wooden flatbed truck pull up with tar on it, the guys quickly pushed it all out with brooms before it dried in the truck, it only half covered the lot, and then they were done for the day & didn't come back to finish. This how I imagine everything is done there, half completed using the lowest tech processes you can imagine.
I was working with a company that designs and manufactures industrial machines. They send out a few guys who know the machine inside and out, but the rest off the workforce usually comes from a third company. This guy said that they had an order from russia, and the people who worked for him building the machines were a bunch of old guys and ladies working in the factory.
You pretend you're paying me adequately, I pretend I'm doing my work adequately.
That would never happen in Ukraine. No mafia there, is there.
You are correct.
@@garsm2290 no they all got kicked out when Russia invaded Remember they got rid of the Russian backed leader and elected zolenski
I will write through a translator, so I apologize in advance. I served in compulsory military service a year before the attack on Ukraine. While serving in the Russian army, I personally saw how bad everything is. In this army, they are constantly stealing. Literally everything is being stolen - fuel for machinery, parts for machinery and the same dry rations that were in the video.
What a coworker from Russia says too
Excellent translation thank you!
So what's the deal with the war crimes? I'm talking about some sick torture and rape. Is that regular Russian army? Are the COs holding a gun to your heads making you do this or is this the Wagner group and his crazy convicts? because 55,500+ war crimes is fucking insane amount of evil for just one battalion. And why are they killing civilians? I have never heard of such crimes except in Africa's Congo and under Hitler. The only evidence of Nazi like behavior have ever been found in countries where Russia went, in the 50 + years I've been alive and in the Congo.
Ukrainian/American bot.
The RuSSians are pooping their pants at the thought of what is in store for them and their third world military if their mad Führer provokes a war with NATO. Oh sorry, I meant a "special military operation", not war! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think every source of information should be taken with a pinch of salt, if you're being skeptical to just one source, you're most likely just being a fool
My dad served 2 years in Afghanistan as a Soviet Soldier. Believe me, it wasn't much better.
Respect. Bagram 2010-11, 2017-18. I saw lots of old Soviet equipment left behind, bunkers built by the Russians. I worked in a sturdy old earthquake-proof building built by the Soviets. You could tell what buildings were from the Soviet occupation. We brought connexes and built pre-fab structures.
Russians are a bunch of clowns.
I remember when the Russian army left East Germany, their soldiers cried ugly tears because their new barracks somewhere in Russia were expected to be much worse than the rat-infested molding damp holes they hat built and operated in East Germany. Most of the barracks had to be torn down after the Russians left… Russia never treated their soldiers well.
100 tausend war veterans living on the streets in USA asking for food,crying!😅
Russia's always looked at it's vast manpower as a resource not unlike weapons and machinery. If you have a million artillery shells, you launch 'em . . . you don't think about trying to conserve them. The same thinking applies to their supplies of of "inexhaustible" soldiers. WW2 was a classic example of this. The brutal difference is that no one grieves a dead tank.
This is one of the best examples why fighting corruption is so important. Without it they woudn't have started a war in Ukraine. In a way it was not unexpected taking in consideration how difficult it was for them during the wars in Chechnya.
Ukraine is extremely corruptive country. The US is global leader in systemic corruption of elites. Put together these two and you get minus 100 BN (or more) in the US budget without any real benefit for people. What a BS !
I am afraid of what our soldier are equipped with, after all 80 percent of country budget is spend on them.
@@crazyafghan5353 I think it's probably 10-20%, the rest get's in the so called businessmen's private accounts. It's the legacy of communism because in almoust all ex-communist nations leaders have the bad habbit of stealing as much as they can without thinking about the consecvences.
They may have caused more destruction without corruption. Thank god for corruption in Russia.
That is why Democracy tends to work better than autocracy. The more or less frequent change of who is ultimately in charge naturally limits (high level) corruption. Conversely democracies which keep one party in power for a number of governments have a much higher rate of corruption than democracies which regularly change the party in charge and/or ones with coalition governments.
