africaken254: Most times i read comments/articles from westerners describing the Russian military as inefficient, archaic...... I just laugh. "Is it this same Russian military the world is seeing in Syria or am i looking at a different military?". The Russians are so efficient, and the speed with which they've routed the enemy(s) is unprecedented. When they say indiscriminate bombing, a word they so often use, i begin to wonder whether war is supposed to be pretty or a Hot-dog competition. 1 Like |

Henry240: Russian military is inefficient in comparison to NATO When America invaded Kuwait and Southern Iraq, they killed 35,000 Iraqis and wounded another 60,000 in so doing they smashed over 30 Iraqi divisions... for the loss of 200 men. They destroyed 4000 (98% of) Iraqi tanks for the loss of 4, 2000 artillery peices for the loss of 1, 1800 APC's for the loss of 9, 240 aircraft for the loss of 44. No one else on earth can do that. With regards to the NATO bombing campaign, they are only half halfheartedly bombing - just compare the number of sorties. Not wanting to kill civilians is how civilized people fight. Dropping White Phosphorus on a city is inefficient and archaic by definition. 3 Likes

africaken254: Its just the way the Russians fight. It works for them, no one can deny Russian firepower - just look at the ammount of MRLS and artillery attached to a division in comparison to a NATO one. But in terms of precision and efficiency, as well as safety and minimization of collateral damage, no one comes close to the major NATO members. |

patches689: You should at-least have the decency to quit been deliberately mischievous. The U.S alone represents 70% of NATO, Germany a "strong" member of NATO only has 36 Combat ready fighter planes in it's entire fleet. According to a US military inclined Think-Thank, the Russians would only need 3 days to take over Eastern Europe completely. How is that for inefficiency? In the Gulf war you are so quick to distort, the Coalition forces were numerical advantaged over the Iraqis in every area. Coalition forces Kuwait United States Saudi Arabia United Kingdom France Egypt Syria Morocco Oman Pakistan Canada United Arab Emirates Qatar Bangladesh Italy Australia Netherlands Niger Sweden Argentina Senegal Spain Luxembourg Bahrain Belgium Sierra Leone Poland Philippines South Korea Czechoslovakia Greece Turkey Denmark[1] New Zealand Hungary Norway Afghanistan 40 countries against Iraq. 956,600, including 700,000 U.S. troops against 650,000 Iraqi soldiers US troops alone outnumbered the Iraqis. 3 Likes |

patches689: We are only seeing only a handful of Russian air power, an aircraft here another aircraft there, no ground forces. while the U.S alone has over 160 aircrafts stationed on 2 Aircraft carriers, and bombing flights been carried out from bases in Kuwait, Iraq and Jordan. No country on the planet, not even the Americans can achieve the successes carried out by a handful(60) Russian aircrafts in Syria. It is unprecedented in human history. Nothing new to the Russians seeing that they have lost only 3 battles in over 1000 years of combat. War is not a comedy show, people would die in war, it isn't supposed to be pretty. |

africaken254: Africaken, you should be more knowledgeable than this, i expect much more from you. What is Hi-Tech? The Russians have an amazing blend of Digital and Analog equipment. Is there are better counter-measure system for Helos in the market than President-S or firing cruise missiles from the Caspian sea? The Russians fight with brute force, that's because political correctness doesn't apply in war. They intend to pummel the enemy to submission. When the Russians are coming, the enemy should be afraid. The Iranians brought down and reversed a "smart" "stealth" US drone. So much for smart technology. The Turks are doing well, they got some smart people doing a lot of great things in their defence industry. 1 Like |

Henry240: Compare the number of sorties , not the number of planes Russia lost 3 battles in a 1000 years? Dude, since the 1850s Russia has lost: -Crimean War -Russo-Japanese - Finnish Civil War - Latvian War of Independence - Estonian War of Independence - Lithuanian-Soviet War - Georgian-Ossetian Conflict - Polish Civil War - Spanish Civil War - Soviet-Afghan War - First Chechen War And lets not forget they lost WW1 as well Modern armies minimize civilian casualties, it is the mark of an efficient and professional force. But please, tell us more about how using area-effect weapons on a city is "efficient" 2 Likes |

Henry240: And how does this change the facts? Russians outbumbered the Chechens in the 1st Chechen war and got absolutely thrashed And no, Germany has not been a "strong" member since the late 1980s. England, France, Spain, Italy, Turkey and Poland are the "strong" members. 1 Like |

Henry240: Whats better than firing a cruise missile from the caspian sea? A USN boomer (nuke sub) with over 150 cruisemissiles sitting undetected in the med. Its not "political correctness" is human rights. Again, it is the mark of the way civilized people conduct war. |

patches689: "Between 1700 and 1940 Russia/USSR fought in 34 wars and won 31 and in 392 battle and won 279. We could say that Russia won 91% of her wars and 71% of her battles. Russia's opponents included: Swedes, French, Germans, Turks, Poles, Tatars, Finns, Caucasians, Japanese, Chinese, Austrians, Hungarians, British, Italians and Central Asians." Here are the 3 wars it lost I would just add that Crimea was fought against what I call a "great ecumenical coalition" (including Anglican British, the Latin French and the Muslim Turks) which outnumbered the Russians by over 200'000 people (there was almost a MILLION "ecumenical attackers" for just over 700'00 Russian defenders. But yes, Russia did lose this one. ( WHo runs Crimea today ? Mind you Crimean penisular was taken back long time ago after the British, Ottoman and French controlled it, the Soviet empire took it back and was later illegally transfered to Ukraine Soviet) Today, who runs Crimea ? The Russian War against Japan Did Russia lose the war against Japan? I would argue that the Russian Fleet sure was defeated by the Japanese Navy, but Japanese historians have a very different view of what happened and consider that Japan's military was spent by the time the peace treaty was drafted (by the Russian side, by the way) and that Japan had been forced to accept very bad terms. At the very least, I would call this one a draw. The 3rd being RUssian Polish war As for the Russian-Polish war, yes, the Soviet's lost this one badly. But look at the kind of Soviet Union we had in 1920: a country in the midst of a civil war, with many uprising taking place, with a "worker-farmer" "army" with no real officers and let by clueless commissars. So while the outcome was a defeat, the circumstances of that defeat are, I think, so unique as to be irrelevant. But whatever the fine print and different views of the significance of individual outcomes, I think that these figures strongly suggest that attacking Russia is an exceedingly bad idea, even when only conventional wars are considered. Attacking Russia while she has the powerful nuclear arsenal on the planet is utter lunacy. Let's hope that this short reminder will reach at least one of the crazies who think that playing a game of chicken with Russia is a sound policy and that the Russians will "blink first" impressed by the US/NATO military prowess. 2 Likes |

patches689: "How does the numerical advantage in both men and equipment of a military Super-power over a third world foe change the facts of the battle?"............. Wow, is this really a question that needs answering..... Really absurd. Germany has a fighter fleet of over 300 aircrafts. They are a Strong NATO member, a strong NATO member that has only 36 combat ready jets. |
