Thank you!! I think I understand what the problem was and will know next time.
No pproblem anytime!
As to the thread I think the Russians may have some technologies that may be able to counter quite a few things. If they can shut off electrical equipment then they may have some serious advantages in terms of countering a first strike.
Of course this doesnt take into account genetic warfare and nanotech weaponry which would most likely be unleashed upon the world as well... . . . .

So you think Russian generals would admit to problems with Russian forces your very funny. If they don't think conscripts are a problem why are they wanting a volunteer force? how can you train someone who's only their a year. Why do human rights watch talk about mass arrests for people unwilling to join? Who is their to pass along what they learned to other soldier? Why is their complaints in the Russian military by troops on how they are treated. Where is the supplies they need? I posted articles showing you what you asked for and you lifted the goal post and moved it. Hope you didn't hurt your back.
Tell you what feel free to show any of the articles wrong and we can discuss. But to dismiss it because you don't like it means nothing.
What ever Challenges Russia have reforming their military is really irelevant when the US say they would stil lose a fight against Russia in europe, do to the fact that US/NATO also have their Challenges. This probably means that NATO have greater problems on their side.

Wrong NATO said they needed to increase their force in Europe by placing 50000 troops near Russia to match the 40000 Russia keeps on their border which they did. NATO has 28 members with a total combined military force that dwarfs Russia. Conventionally speaking Russia would lose however no one expects a conflict to remain conventional. This is why Russia updated their nuclear doctrine to any time they feel like it. Originally under the Soviet a it mirrored the US doctrine only in retailiation of a nuclear strike.

Dont forget that the US also sent a aditinal F-15s...... and F-22s to Italy and Germany... lol.
You dont understand what you read do you? 50 000 to match Russias 40 000 does not explain Our capabilities against Russia at all.
I'm gathering my info don't think I've backed down, your gonna have a field day tryina explain MANY discrepancies in your beloved U.S.A's so-called "advantage" over Russia.
