Other than nukes, Russia today is not much stronger than saddams Iraq

This ragtag force that's attacking Ukraine right now pretty much is the ENTIRE russian military might. Half of the troops are 18 year old conscripts who haven't even finished their training. Equipped with an ak and 3 magazines of ammunition.

Russian army might look good on paper, but war is expensive and those roughly 100 planes and helicopters that have been parttaking the invasion so far, likely are the majority of actual funtional aircrafts Russia has. - ofcourse, compared to something like Germany, with their 9 airworthy fighter jets, this is a lot, but as long as the west keeps supplying Ukraine, it wont be enough to gain full air superioroty. Also, they've already lost 1/5 of it so far.

Putin knows they can't afford a war of attrition against Ukraine, why they're desperetely trying to get it over with as quickly as possible, but so far, it doesn't seem to be working out too well.

There's no cavalry to come and back up Russian troops, while Ukraine is only ramping up.

There's a lot of Russian propaganada going around to make it seem like Russia is some sort of an unstoppable force, while it's not.

It takes a special kind of retard to insist on the weakness of their supposed enemy with absolutely no evidence, less than a day into the war. Twitter videos and other speculation doesn't mean shit.

going to defect to russia and rape that bitch lol

nukes = fake and gay

Russia is a sleeping bear...

They are literally on the same level as the US.

You dont know shit.

retard pls go

Russian airforce is half of what a single US carrier hauls around.

120 missiles, some choppers and a few mechanized brigades while most of the Ivans sit back and wait for orders russia is being restrained.

>Russia is a sleeping bear..
more like drunk panda

why so many planes? this isn't ww2, this is the era of hypersonic missiles

Go to bed you drunk Muscovite

lol you are really fucking retarded. Russia develops last generation jets, tanks, and other weapon systems. It's a huge country with 150 million people and huge mineral resources. It produces more arms than any other country in the world. AND it has nukes.

Meanwhile Saddam led a tiny country with an army with early cold war technology and no arms industry

The Russian army has 1m active and 2m reserve personnel. They're sending 175,000 of them against Ukraine.

>They are literally on the same level as the US.
This, except the opposite. Fucking retard.

Iraq had a very strong military. Problem tho was shit morale and most surrendered

>Reddit spacing
>le Russian bear
>literally used in a weak oversimplification like thats what literal things are supposed to be

it was very strong but it got BTFOd in like 12 hours

They can barely keep the forces in Ukraine fed and combat ready. There is no way they are able to support 1-2m men.

>other than nukes
Let me stop you right there, fren.

some strong army that couldnt even defeat a rag tag Iranian army

the only thing dumber than the meme of Russia being an unstoppable power on par with the old USSR is the meme of Russia being a ragtag of stick-throwing troops that can not last a day and have a total of 20 working vehicles and jets
they were at kherson within hours and they are just getting started, their missile capabilities meant to contend with western attacks, and they are operating basically at their own border
no they are not a giga super power but can throw their weight around very easily and enjoy total superiority especially in this theatre
Ukros will sadly for them get rekt and westoids will cry and make up more shit about Russia's military being Burundi tier as they are in deep denial

>what a single US carrier hauls around
trannies and blacks and mexicans?

>There is no way they are able to support 1-2m men.
they don't have to, they just send them into ukraine and let them take and rape whatever they want

The Russian Air Force has great long-range detection devices, long-range SAMs and good Interceptors but severely lack modern (5th Gen) Fighters and lots of other stuff in all branches.
Since most of their high-tech equipment is for defensive purposes and their military still lacks essential capabilities they are destined to lose any open conflict with NATO aka the US at this time while dealing heavy damage themselves.

But since the Ukraine is not worth an open conflict from western perspective anyway all of that doesn't matter right now.

>a special kind of retard
Jews user. They're called Jews.
