Ukraine >over 500 soldiers killed >undisclosed amount of trucks and armored vehicles (used by both the Russian Armed Forces and the pro-Russian separatists)
Syria >20 soldiers killed >35 contractors killed >2 civilian personnel killed >3 warplanes (one shot down) >5 helicopters (three shot down) >undisclosed amount of trucks and armored vehicles (used by both the Russian Armed Forces and the Syrian Armed Forces)
It's safe to assume that Russia is no longer a threat. Their conventional military as well as power projection are laughable at best.
China will soon take the spot as the second most powerful military.
Jonathan Phillips
Did Russia not pretty much take over the only part of Ukraine that has anything worth taking and then lock the parts where Ukraine could have drawn resources from and been a threat?
Did they not actually SUCCEED in Syria, without unbalancing it?
Those are actual victories.
That the US have a bigger military doesn't mean shit if all they achieve is defeat.
Honestly, I'm not a russian fan or something, but it's pretty objective to note that they're doing military and power projection significantly better, albeit they still lack resources.
Isaac Nguyen
Russia has always been quantity as quality for military doctrine. By their standards, the losses you have listed are insignificant.As long as they get their goal. Their presence in Syria is mostly air support and that has turned the tide.
Austin Hall
The last time U.S fought a somewhat formidable foe, they lost over 50,000 troops.
Zachary Baker
Keep thinking that and distribute this info plz.

Carter Scott
Those are marginal losses. Ukraine had jets, tanks, artillery, balistic missiles.
In Syria the "rebels" are well armed by their Western benefactors. Yet, Russia has pretty much got what it needed from Ukraine. Similarly, the Syrian government is in a very good position right now thanks to the Russian support.

I love how OP is comparing them to China and the anti-American chucklefucks automatically release their bowel movements
Charles Torres
As long as China uses mostly old soviet tech, no, they won't.
When they actually get their shit together they'll easily outshine everyone in the world combined, which is why we need to nuke those gooks before it's too late.

They annexed Crimea with no casualties and are currently winning through proxy militants in Donetsk, no issue whatsoever. Not to mention their support role in Syria literally turned the tide of war with small casualties.
Since WW2 you italians have lost all right to talk about military matters
Adam Smith
Italy has tons of cockholes rapefugees.

Turkey is literally allowing Russia to win in Syria.

no such thing
Ian Thomas
Man that's just the dumbest shit i've ever fucking heard
Jaxon Williams
You never heard yourself talk?
Eli Young
I think saying that Turkey is letting the enemy win when their ultimate goal since the start of the war was regime change in Syria is a little more retarded. It's not like they shoveled so much fucking money into ISIS and the FSA. It's also not like they have a tactical interest to quell Kurdish presence in Syria.
If you think that even after all that they're fucking "letting them win" and not losing then you' are batshit tomato brain retarded

Yes, and they are fully aware of this. That's why they are going full unconventional and embrace 4th generation warfare.
If you really think the Meme Tank, the PAK MEME, and the Meme-400/500/600/999 Missile System are russia's true strength then you are mistaken.

UK is already considered the 2nd strongest military by European Think Tanks. In terms of all round strength in a military situation (resources, war, man power etc) then China is 2nd anyway and only let down by lack of oil.
Angel Robinson
precision guided bombs are expensive and essential if you fly hgih up out of range, the US supplies ISIS with GPS region locked missile launchers and they manage to shoot down low flying targets dropping unguided cheap bombs.
not a real test of hardware or military
Camden Rogers
They own Crimea now an are bigger than Israel without losing 1 life. Compared to you Italian scum (who could not even hold Lybia in 2nd WW) they are supreme.
Nathan Myers
Lol, Russian military is the strongest in the world, for conventional ground combat.
US curbstomp them in the air, but the Russians have AA that leaves the US without their only advantage.

The Russian army has even failed against micro-states like Chechnya, Georgia or Dagestan.
Julian Gonzalez
what is this russian meme/mascot supposed to be???
Carter Jones
Russian anons (maybe even shills?) on Krautchan were smugly denying their troops presense in Crimea and Donetsk/Lugansk. Russians finally did learn their lesson from war with Georgia tho, they had a drastic military reform with 2 army groups disbanded and new equipment built for the quick wars of tomorrow. I think not many commoners in the west even know about that.

it's actually kinda funny because most people here don't really mind Russia, with a lot of them wanting to improve our relationship despite the EU and NATO telling us otherwise OP must be a flaming faggot commie who just discovered the cool kids' sekrit club, or he's just shitposting
