[quote author=kabe1 post=114349009] With the war in Ukraine, despite some failings of the Russian military, they continue to advance and conquer territory. while Ukraine has performed exceptionally well against the Russians, it heavily relies on Western military support; if the plug were pulled, it is likely that Ukraine would have been overrun. The West continues to support Ukraine to the tune of 5-7 billion USD a month. The West has better Air systems than Russia, but we've seen the Russians deploy many breakthrough systems in Ukraine. I don't see how Russian fighter jets will compare against comparable Western Fighters, the gap is quite significant more so in the air to ground role. Russia in many cases bombing targets with advanced SU-30sm fighter jets like the Nigerian Air Force using Alpha Jets. The lack of investment in laser guided systems, and similar JDAM kits by the Russians, a lack of investment in considerable number of UCAVs are showing glaringly. Apart from the KA-52 and SU-25, I doubt Russian aircrafts can compare favourably to their American analogues.[/quote] you can only determine this when they is a direct confrontation between this western aircraft and Moscow aircraft. In mordern war thing easily changes within the Battlefield |

davefurn: This is the point I'm tryna make. You Russian fanboys should understand that Russia is not a superpower and the United States is one. That's why I'm saying that US would crush Ukraine in lesser time. If the US was fighting against let's say Turkey and let's imagine a scenario that the USSR still existed and supported Turkey with all its Eastern blocs, Turkey would had still been crushed. We saw what happened with the 1991 and 2003 invasion of Iraq. Iraq was bolstering with Soviet equipments and was still destroyed. We simply can't compare alot of Soviet equipment to the Americans. 1 Like |

davefurn: What do you mean 2003 invasion of Iraq is not a war because of the quality of the Iraqi tanks?! Iraq had tanks with poor armour, so what?! That's what happens in war. You either win or lose. You either well-equipped or ill-equipped. Soviet tactics has been failing since the early days of the formation of the Isreali state. The Iraqi loss may look like a walkover, but I bet the Brits can't pull that. The US is so powerful they make hard wins look easy. We gotta understand that fact. You said "just cut off their money". If it was that easy to cut off American monetary power, we wouldn't have had the United States as the lone superpower in our 21st century planet. |

Stormtrooper11:If they were that strong, they would have crushed Afghanistan, and no take 20 yrs...... Just like israel bolstering with us weapons but with no yearly billions of dollars of support from us budget.... What will it make them?....... Just do your research about the persian gulf war. 2003, iraq was already too weak; us already had it tied after the 1991 loss 3 Likes |

Stormtrooper11:oga if Russia and China have supported Iraq like they did in Vietnam I bet you USA will run dey same way they ran from Afghanistan. Sadam hussein Might was stop when USA gave him an arm embargo stopping him from procuring spare part for his aircraft. Majority of saddam hussein aircraft was sanctionable. One thing u you should remember it is not about the number of troop you have it the number of equipment your troop have to fight that determine a war with worldpower. By James mark |

Stormtrooper11:oga this your Analysis is some how not true. If USA and NATO heard that power they will not run from Afghanistan. And remember USA is not the only worldpower many factors determine a lot in a world power contest. The same way they crush Vietnam abi. The might of USA HAVE BEEN REDUCED. Many scenarios have play it part including the ukarine to Russia war if USA was truly a world power will would have seen Moscow being crush. Many thing play it way in war |

Seems like Russia is heading towards a recession next year their industrial output is falling, inflation is high, and most importantly they have negative wage growth. Even though in the media they look like they are doing well because of the oil revenue, the data shows that the sanctions are working 1 Like |
