How strong is the Russian military really? America likes to call them junk but they seem to be doing pretty well.
>inb4 muh memecarriers
>>68138638
They have a great stockpile of weapons and munitions. One weakness is their military tech is somewhat outdated. Night Vision, IR designators, etc.
while i would like to agree with you anon, i must point out that military tech is classified everywhere. the same old replayed clips of military shit you see on fox or cnn does not contain anything a civilian without clearance gets to see.
some cool, awesome, awe inspiring and a tad bit scary shit out there. i would not discount for one second the abilities of the russian military.
idk as an example, civvies didnt even start hearing about the bullet location detection technology mounted onto humvees/tracs until a year/couple years ago at most. someone shoots at you, instantly detects direction, source of the shot, velocity, its like having a cheater mini map in cs go, kek.
now try to imagine what is used on a regular basis that you don't get to hear about.
The units they project outward for the world to see are fairly well equipped to maintain a certain image. The United States does the same thing.
Units that deploy usually get brand new top of the line shit while the ones that don't get hand me downs and make due with broken equipment.
>>68138638
Second strongest in the world, behind USA. In short.
You can't really compare them though because Russian interests are near them, which means they don't need a blue-water navy based around carriers like Americans need.
Also, they are in great strategic position because their interests are near them while their only credible opponent is an ocean away.
Don't listen to these ''experts'', Crimea and Syria have shown that they are highly capable.
>>68140482
That's normal in every military.
>>68138638
Discounting nukes, Russia still comes in as military no.2 in the world. Power projection being a major factor, something China doesn't have yet.
http://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-listing.asp
>>68138638
they literally had to buy used ships from Turkey just to supply their troops in Syria
>>68141109
>power projection
...is a dumb term. Power projection is absolutely necessary for USA because they're remote from their geopolitical goals.
Russians don't need power projection of that sort. Their outlook isn't global.
>>68141450
there enimies are more localized, so they dont have as strong of a navy as conpared to us, like >>68140835
A few reindeer herders can take on Venäjä.
>>68141483
It encompasses the shipping of troops to certain part of the world and maintaining supply logistics behind it. It doesn't just mean carefree joy riding aircraft carriers across the seas as US does it often.
USA could successfully ship/fly and supply their troops anywhere on the planet.
Russia can do that for Eurasia and upper part of Africa. South America, Australia, Sub-Saharan Africa...not so much.
That is what is hiding under the term of 'power projection'.
>>68142158
You're right but that's my point. Russia has no need for power projection of that sort.
They have more tanks than anyone in the world.
China has the most infantry if I'm not mistaken.
And we have superior navy and air power by far
Whatever it is they still have russian officers and generals in command.
>>68140330
This, this anon is actually clever for once
You can debate whether A military is better than B and have it turn into a shitfest, but we'll never reach an objective answer given the fact that we do not have sufficient information to draw conclusions with
>>68140330
SB-3 Ghouls when?
>>68138638
Seeing that most of the best military tech has already been pioneered by the US, It's a lot less expensive to implement. Not only that develop better tech using whatever advance military tech they get their hands on as a base.
As of right now, they have the best scout helicopter in the world. More importantly the
government contracts very impressive projects
unlike the US where it's based off whether
the contractors are friendly with officials
in terms of outright bribery.
>>68138638

>>68143470
It sucks do not seeing friends joining in ur offensive war like the the axis guys did
>>68143710
Well, Sweden would probably send some meatballs and a dozen fags to help Finlan.
Eesti would send toothbrushes.
How much does morale matter?
I dont expect the russian army would be able to hold up that long, in many ways the conscripts there seem to fucking hate it and I would expect alot of deserters, their suicide statistics in the army is pretty high.
This can quickly be changed though, if they are as strict as they were in WWII on desertion, but this will probaly cost a lot of human lives. Russia has currently a negative birthrate and 1 million people with Hiv/Aids and its rapidly increasing.
But this depends on how this war will be fought. Russia is however moving away from a conscript-based army and over to a specialist army, which will be interesting to see what will bring.
I am mostly curios to see what Putin has learned from warfare in both Ukraine and Syria by now. I bet he is also watching over the Eu-Turkey refugee deal, knowing that sending refugees over to Turkey will only make his geopolitical rival stronger when confronting the Eu.
They have more than enough to obliterate anyone bar the US of A..

Lmao
Because one side of a country has uniformed soldiers and better weaponry than the other side of the same country within 1 year.
It's more believable the ruskies were in this proxy war than the US at this point
I think Russia would beat the US in a nonnuclear war. Russia does not have SJW training, white privilege training, diversity goals, gener equality, nigger troops and leadership.
>>68145292
savage
They could beat any invader, but couldn't invade or defeat any first world nation. Their economy could never handle a real war, unless they were fighting on their own land.
>>68144847
That's dumb, I heard your navy plans to build carriers, dumb move.
Better to spend that on subs.
>>68145649
> uniformed

So Russia supplied separatists. Doesn't mean they were actively fighting in East Ukraine.
>>68145478
>diversified, not a lot of oil
bretty gud actually
>>68145803
They were. Small units though, brigade at most at one point. Russian artillery gave fire support to rebels.
>>68145649
>Because one side of a country has uniformed soldiers and better weaponry than the other side of the same country within 1 year.
Yeah, because they can't capture weapons from ukrainian military bases and use it.
>>68145686
That's because you are retarded.
The US is far superior to Russia in every warfare area. The US would have issues in an all out invasion of Russia, because everyone in history has, but it would never come to that. US ships would decimate their navy and shipping and starve them into surrender.
In a one-on-one with no nukes, Estonia would win.
>>68146021
>>68146051
>starving Russia into surrender by naval blockade
You must be a master of strategy.
>>68146021
Yeah, and those units helped the outnumbered separatists clinch very important victories, among which 3/4 of the cockhole army got surrounded.
No videos of these brigades operating for obvious reasons.
>>68146051
> US ships would decimate
US ships would get decimated by anti-ship missiles, because Russia is not a 3rd world shithole without coastal defenses and subs.
>>68145649
>Because one side of a country has uniformed soldiers and better weaponry than the other side of the same country within 1 year.
Against Ukraine, this is not hard. Their military has been neglected, underfunded, and gutted by corruption. They are no longer an effective fighting force at this point.
>>68146051
> naval blockade on Russia
Where the fuck do these people come from, holy shit.
>>68138638
The United States would lose a non-nuclear war with Russia.

>>68146274

>>68146525
> CIWS working
>>68146422
They'll just import it from somewhere else or simply grow more food genius. Russia borders shitload of countries, most importantly China. Also, source for "40%".
Just like the US military, 99% of the Russian military is human trash and only there to keep them out of trouble. These are the people who vacuum parking lots, or march up and down in eternal drills for no purpose, or whine on krautchan about their impending conscription.
It's the 1% you need to worry about.
>>68146480
But anon, where are the proofs?
There is NO WAY America can compete with this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp7mM2TP_1A

>>68146355
>lose
Lose a war in Europe, maybe.
>>68146274
That's where you're wrong. Russian Navy or air-force simply lack the numbers to saturate CBG defenses at the moment, reliably. Theoretically they could but it would be hard to pull off and that's just one CBG, Americans have 11.
>>68143910
>Eesti would send toothbrushes.
wat?
>>68138638
They're bretty dang good but they're way behind the US in naval strength except for subs
They don't have the best global reach but they don't care about anything outside of Europe or Asia so I suppose it works out fine
They also make some of the prettiest gear

>>68146860
>>68146706
I don't really remeber when this was exactly, and I'm too arsed to review conflict again. But Russian involvement was clear. It wasn't hundreds of tanks like Kiev said though. Most of people fighting there were locals.

Most of those things you listed concern separatists and not ruskies. Ruskies regular troops were fighting in mass numbers only in august of 2014. They outmaneuvered, surrounded and decimated our troops very fast. The only question is how many prepared like that troops they have. If all of their infantry/mechinfantry/artillery are prepared like that than probably their land forces are n.2(maybe n.3 after china). But i have some doubts about that.

Bears and Blackjacks don't carry anti-ship missiles.
>flankers/22s
Flanker is a fighter, Tu-22M-3M is a bomber used in that role, but there's like 60 of them. Each can carry 2 AS-4 missiles (with reduced range of course, normal is 1) which are the only reliable weapon today, as they were in 70's for that matter. This new version is scary. But that's too little, Soviets used to have regiments of these planes.
>moskits
Not that useful in most of circumstances, we're talking about US navy here.
>land-based systems
Inferior.
You fail to appreciate how developed are US CBG defenses.
You'd need like 150+ missiles to breach their SAM shield, and that's if you somehow magically managed to destroy carrier air patrol.
>>68144054
Conscripts don't participate in real combat anymore, we have a professional army for that now. And there are millions legal ways to avoid being conscripted, so only the dumbest or those willing to do it serve.

Because even if we fear or dislike each other, I feel respect for our respective martial power. And cause a joint military operation between us two would be utter terror to whatever poor fuck we decide to ruin
To explain you how it works: US carriers never go alone, and they're never at sea without 2 or 4 AEW planes searching the skies, plus a few fighters armed with AAM's just in case.
One carrier has some 40 fighters, these are F/A-18's which are inferior to previous F-14's but still okay.
So dozens of these missiles will be shot by F/A-18's, rest fall on SAM defenses of CBG.
Russians simply lack the means to saturate their defense. Submarines are the best bet.

Russia's military fell apart with the collapse of the Soviet Union and performed extremely poorly during the First Chechen War in 1995. The Chechens slaughtered Russian armored columns moving into their capital during the opening battles of the war. The Russians suffered staggering casualties (by post-WW2 standards, anyway) as their military broke down from years of neglect and poor doctrine/training.
By 1999 the Russians had licked their wounds and recovered somewhat from their post-Soviet lows. A series of apartment bombings triggered the next war in Chechnya while also bringing a formerly obscure prime minister from St. Petersburg into power.
They performed significantly better than they had the first time around, but they still had to end up setting up the son of a former anti-Russian guerilla named Ramzan Kadyrov to keep the peace.
The major fighting was over relatively quickly before the fighting turned into an insurgency and terrorist campaign after 2001 that persists to some extent to this day.
The Russians performed better still during the Russo-Georgian war of 2008, but they still had major deficiencies in their fighting capabilities and doctrine (like relying on cell phones for communication and US civilian GPS for navigation(.
After that the Russians launched a major overhaul of their force structure, composition, and doctrine, as well as starting a massive rearmament program that was funded from their then booming economy.
Interestingly one of the things that the Russians continued to fund in the crisis days of the collapse of the Soviet system was high-tech research and development, as well as their nuclear arsenal (for obvious reasons).
Russia's military is probably better trained, equipped, and more prepared for war than at any other point in it's history (the 1960's and 1970's for the Soviets are roughly comparable).

If you knew the armor (classified) and redundancies those fuckers have, not to mention the battle group designed to prevent a carrier from sinking, you'd know it takes a lot to sink these bitches.

It doesn't quite work the same in real life as it does in a computer game, as Nazi Germany found out.

They don't want to be leader in USA way of understanding, they (Xi Yinping and friends) are doing everything they can to keep the country internally cohesive which means spreading soft economic power by securing trade routes with countries that supply them materials and oil.
They want to dominate South China Sea because that is where most of world shipping occures, over 5 trillion $ per year. Then that area around Singapoure (Moluccan Straits?) whch is an ultra majour potential choke point for them. And in the end Indian Ocean, which is 15-20 years at least into the future.

Nah, there were Russian troops in at least two operations against the Hohols. One was North Wind where Russian forces destroyed the spearhead of the Hohols and made it all the way to the Azov Sea from Dontesk within a few days without proper artillery support and no air support. The other time that Russian Military intervened was during the forming of the kotel around Debaltsevo. There Buryat tankers closed the kotel and encircled thousands of Hohols. All these operations are open secrets, but those operations were done way to well to be rebels.

A joint attack between a couple of squadrons of Tu22s and submarines equipped with ASM has actually been shown on Russian TV/crossposted here.
Your only argument against it, is that the "defences will hold" and now you're backpedaling into "knowing their tactics"?
Fuck outta here.

To relativize the role of an other nation means to relativize yours and you did by far the biggest sacrifice Vlad. To this date I don´t get why you don´t guilt trip us with genocide of 22 million russians (3-5 million russian died of the course of 5 year later because of injury or disease that resulted from the war) of an approximately 170 millionen nation. The "relations" would be high enough

>Yes all Army soldiers are trained on C6, C7, C9, M72 SRAAW, M67 and various pyro
This is true of all militaries though, it's important to note.
A DS of mine worked with Canadians in the 'Stan, I never did, but from what he told me Canada had the best specialist infantry of any force he worked with. They didn't have much support (without us), and they didn't have enough guys or equipment to have proper grunts, but they had excellent specialist infantry.
The only canadian Officer I ever met believed that civilians shouldn't be allowed to own firearms, and got mad at me whenever I told him that was fucking stupid (not in a professional environment). It was funny because he was apparently one of their SF guys (JTF?) and worked with training native militias, so I'm shocked he didn't see the value in it.

Is that war doesn't happen like you imagine it, your opponent doesn't stand there doing nothing while you rape him.
I explained you here >>68148431 how US carrier tactics work.
For start, you probably still have no idea what AEW is, AEW is airborne early warning, or E-2 Hawkeyes which are ALWAYS patrolling. They will easily detect Flankers and Backfires hundreds of miles away.

It's because the ussr had no reason to propagandize the fact that their manpower got fucked during the war or the fact that they were about to launch an attack on Germany and got out surprised before they could do it. War and postwar propaganda concentrated on post-Stalingrad push back almost exclusively, and played up the grim but slow steamrolling of nazi forces. This is to distract from all the shit going on during the German push into Poland/Russia which was both a result of their first strike armies/equipment being caught with their pants down and humiliating for Russia that they were getting so blown the fuck out.
>>68151631
What would be the point? Also we do not connect modern Germans with Nazis back then.

I wont deny that, yet the goal of the germans was "to annahilate the eastern folks for living space" hence the name "Vernichtungskrieg". There was no surrender, the only difference is that you guys had a gun in your hand while the jews didn´t but selfdefence doesn´t mean that it is not a genocide Vladimir.
>>68152441
And I'm getting fucking tired of you masking your lack of knowledge with memes and buzzwords.
>Russian stands there
What the fuck can they do you idiot?
Do you think Russian planes can fly everywhere, that Russian planes don't have fuel constraints or anything like that? How do you destroy AEW protected by carrier air patrol in the open sea?
Your idea of naval war is Americans putting their CBG near Russian coast and then Russians launching imaginary squadrons of Backfires while Americans do absolutely nothing. Also, Russian submarines magically appear and coordinate their attack with air force while attached American ASW ships do absolutely fucking nothing. It's like I'm talking to a 5 year old kid.
>>68152888
Why would you want to have a Romanian proxy?
>>68152520

>>68152662
Explain why the ussr was raped even harder than France despite how many more men and equipment they had, and after they had mobilized to take over Poland?
Their shit was organized for attack and their planes were on the ground instead of running combat patrol, they got caught preparing a surprise attack
>>68138638
Not very. They have numbers, but that's about it. The logistics portion of the Russian military means that the vast majority of their tech is rusted heaps of shit. Just look at the botched invasion of Georgia and how long it took them to invade a neighboring country. That's not to say they're military is SHIT, it's just not very good and needs a lot of work before they could even consider going toe to toe with the West without resorting to nukes.

And all you're doing is backpedaling from the fact that US CBGs would get blown the fuck out by Russian ASM.
First it was some imaginary defense that gorillions were spent on so it must be good.
Then it was, the Russians aren't in range.
Then it was, the Russians can't get there.
Then the submarines can't co-ordinate.
Just fucking stop already, kek.

Nigger, you were actually sitting here and pretending a Flanker can't carry ASM, have you forgotten that or what?
